Magpies v Tasman
-
if May drops in this scrum will he get binned?
-
@Nepia just looked at the replay of that scrum..definitely went down on Crocketts side of the scrum..immediate impact from May on the right hand side..Hawkes Bay guilty of 3 things ,Chase game has been rubbish, kicks needs to find touch from turnovers and the tackling on the big wingers on the flanks needs to be low.
-
Even if the fend was firmly planted on the defenders mush. Not allowed to tackle head high but you are allowed to fend a guy in the head if you are the ball carrier! Still hopefully the sea breeze might pick up a bit to favour the Magpies a bit in the second half.
HB 14 - 19 Ta$man at the break -

Yep, if that had been the Pies scrum we would have been penalised for that. Therefore penalty to us, no try scored ... real, moral score 14- all.

Slow and sloppy start by Ta$man - letting Flanders score that try was especially soft. They didn't look completely up for the game.
However, the tight five have got into their work and are winning the set pieces - other major differences are the big Fainga'anuku brothers on the littler HB wings. And Nankivell is having a very good game.

Too many Faigaanuku's!
That's what happens when you play midgets on the wing.
We don't have any big wingers in the region currently.
