Ben May with 2 dumb ass plays within 2 minutes

Product of Nelson College @Nepia!

Not an academically minded school I see.

Rested on their laurels after Rutherford!

True, it's hard to top that/him.

[Higgins]

The halftime shot in the changing rooms does not show all that many dropped water bottles. Hopefully that is a good sign that our handling errors might be cured. Just got to work on the tackling now.

[Stargazer]

Why kick for goal? Go to the corner!

[Higgins]

Take the kick, it's an easy three points.

[Nepia]

We're getting the ref rub of the green at the moment.

Hawkes Bay 17 - 24 after 48 minutes, The Magpies on attack with what looks to be a sou westerly breeze behind them

[Higgins]

We haven't scored a lineout drive try for a couple of games. Chance to make amends here?

[Steven Harris]

Fakatava doing my head in..takes a sideways step b4 passing

[Higgins]

Big change coming up with Isaiah Walker Leawere about to be injected into the HB team.

[Nepia]

I take my rub of the green comment back.

[taniwharugby]

is that wind strong? Ioanes kicking was pants last week too

[Higgins]

@Nepia That knock on call looked to be a bit lucky

[Stargazer]

Ref totally missed that several Otago players were in front of the kicker.

I think it was fair, it's up to Ioane to hold on to the ball and he lost in the pass.

But I was referring to the turnover ruck, there was an Otago player lying on our side.

[Nepia]

Then we get a lucky scrum penalty.

[taniwharugby]

@Nepia yeah I reckon if you lose control, whether knocked out or not, and it goes forward, then tough luck.

[Higgins]

Yes, another try to Lincoln McClutchie

[taniwharugby]

@Nepia looked like HB took that down

[Stargazer]

Great work from Fakatava leading to that try from McC.

[Nepia]

Yes!!!

The Otago 7 never releases contact before he goes for the ball ... I just watched him for multiple rucks in a row. But you play to the ref and he allows it so good work to him.

@taniwharugby Let's not get too silly.
