2019 Hawke's Bay Representative Rugby

[Stargazer]

Shit officiating. That pass wasn't forward.

29 - 25 to the Bay

[Stockcar86]

Why does Debracini have 2 different club socks on?

[Stargazer]

Another penalty goal for Northland. Only one point in it.

29 - 28 to us after one hour

[Higgins]

@Stargazer Just tuned in after the Fiji game has finished and have seen a couple of calls strangely go against us. Looks like that must have been happening all day judging by the scoreline.

[Stargazer]

Bit of a momentum shift towards Northland. Come on Magpies!

[Stargazer]

Great team try from Neria Fomai. Hat-Trick!

[Stargazer]

36 - 28 to the Bay after 67 minutes

[Stargazer]

Mason Emerson, you little bull terrier!! haha Not letting go!

[Stargazer]

Hmmm, looked like the Northland player took the ball into touch, but they get the line-out close to their try line.

[Stargazer]

Try Fakatava after a great dummy. Toala converts.

43 - 28 to the Bay. 3 minutes to go

[Stargazer]

Another great tackle from Emerson on Gregory!

[Stockcar86]

Great desire in defence to keep them out at the end

[Stargazer]

Awesome. Another bonus point win and denying Northland their 4 try bonus point.

FT: Northland 28 - 43 Magpies

Somehow a Northland player won MOTM - but I guess he had god on his side so seems about right.

[Stargazer]

@Nepia Was it Mayanavanua 3 points, McClutchie 2 and Dixon 1?

I only saw them award it to the Northlander.

[Stargazer]

These Duane Monkley medal points are awarded in such a random way. There were several other players who were more deserving that that Northland prop. Makene, who has shown once again his awesome footwork; Emerson, great, courageous defence for such a small man (keeping Gregory under control), Cridge very good in the breakdown and line-out; Rakete-Stones, who's turning into a very good ball-carrying prop and scrummager; and Fomai showing he can find the holes in the defence and finish well.

[Nepia]

That was close to Emerson's best game for the Pies. I was less impressed by Cridge, actually think I'd prefer him to go back to lock and Flanders to play 6. Fomai was impressive, has some gas too.
