@Number-10 I guess they replaced their picture on Facebook, but forgot the one on instagram?

[Number 10]

@Stargazer dead right!

[Higgins]

The only reason I can think of for Danny Toala being left out is that he has somehow and miraculously become pregnant. A physical impossibility, but there is no way he should be missing when compared to the two midfield players named.

Ash Dixon scores from a rolling maul. McClutchie hits the post. Southland 6-5 after 21 mins.

[African Monkey]

Ash Dixon in again from a rolling maul with McClutchie missing the kick again. Hawke's Bay 10-6 up at half time. Southland probably had more of the play in the 1st half but couldn't come away with a try for all their endeavour. Hawke's Bays set piece working well in tough conditions.

[antipodean]

Weber's on the field 60secs and gets charged down from a ruck clearance. Southland lead 16 - 10.

[African Monkey]

Pleasants-Tate score his 2nd for the day. All 4 tries scored from the hookers today. Southland lead 16-10 after 51 mins.

[African Monkey]

Hahaha Marshall claiming that Glenn Preston had replaced Mikaele-Tu'u.

[Nepia]

FFS, the Magpies are straight up awful. 2020 really isn't my year.

[African Monkey]

42 year old Jason Rutledge is on.

[antipodean]

HB will be ruing missed opportunities. Good to see some wet weather rugby again.

[Nepia]

Southland win 10-6. Magpies were average as fudge.

Fuck off.

@Nepia Awful game just nothing went right, have to bounce back next week.

Hope so, will be a home game against @Crucial's lot so hopefully they can put in a good one.

[Stargazer]

Well that sucked. That's all.

[African Monkey]

@antipodean Definitely suited the Stags. Reminded me of when they defended the Ranfurly Shield against Auckland in 2010 where they just defended multiple attacks time and time again. Selby-Rickit, Pleasants-Tate, Lambourn and James all stood up for them in the pack, with Eade's general kicking getting them out of trouble a lot.

Southland probably won't threaten promotion, but they have a much more competitive side this year. Don't see any reason why they can't push for a semi final spot.

Hey @Nepia

Ooops.

Oh dear.
