Looks like our top of the table tipping match against Wellington will be over one way or the other after tomorrow nights game with an almost certain 100% of Bay tippers going for the good guys and 100% of the opposition going for the visiting Wellington team. I'm confident anyway.

[Stargazer]

Almost time. The usual pregame nerves have set in. Hoping for a great game!

If you don't have Sky, this game is live on Prime.

There are only two games that really matter to me each season, Target one was ticked off last week and this is a good chance to tick off target number 2. C'mon The Bay. Still nil nil after two minutes . Wellington obviously playing above themselves!

[Higgins]

What a beautiful sight, a bunch of country bumpkins outmuscling a bunch of gym bunny city slickers for a magnificent lineout drive try HB 5 - 00 Wellington

[Higgins]

Ah poop, a Wellington scrum in serious reverse gear still sees a try to their No 8.

[Higgins]

And then worse a miraculous miss when a Bay play drops the ball over the line and from the resulting scrum Wellington score a 95 metre try, albeit with a pass that looked slightly forward to this one eyed HB 05 -12 Wellington after 20 minutes

How good is it to see Vince Aso back.

[Canes4life]

Toala looking dangerous every time he gets the ball.

[Stargazer]

Awesome break from Toala, results in a try from Parsons. 12 all

[Canes4life]

All the Canes backs looking dangerous. Toala, PUJ, Goosen, Aso and Billy has looked sound at Fullback - some great deft touches by the kid.

[Higgins]

Alls well with with world again, at least for the moment as Tom Parsons drives over for a lovey converted try. Sadly a Wellington long range try then makes the score HB 12 - 17 Wellington after about thirty two minutes

[Stargazer]

@Higgins How many minutes are you behind?

[Stargazer]

Try saver from McClutchie!

[Steven Harris]

Why oh why ,Hawke’s Bay when you have scrum dominance would you not keep the ball in the scrum and pull a penalty

[Higgins]

@Stargazer Using a borrowed computer after I left my mouse at a mates place. Hate using those touch pad things. It slows me up hugely and causing me great frustration, kind of like the non policing of the offside line of Wellington players by the visiting referee.

[Steven Harris]

Fakatava starting to remind me of Augustine Pulu..what’s on for me first..!

[Canes4life]

Beautiful turnover from Kirifi. Both teams looking deadly with ball in hand. Defence by both sides is something to be desired though.

[Stargazer]

@Higgins Ah, yes, I hate those touch pads, too!

Yeah, they're living offside quite a bit. Collectively, so not spotted.

Wasn't good for us Bay fans.
