Hawke's Bay v Canterbury

[Higgins]

Can I be given extra points in the Supporters Award for wearing a Magpies jersey with what looks like to be some beer stains on a couple of the white hoops? Don't recall spilling any before during or after the smacking of Counties last Sunday but the evidence is undisputable. Still I suspect there might be a few more added to those already there sometime later today. The fridge is stocked so I can accomplish my pre match warm up in traditional style before departing to my club down here's prizegiving. Fortunately we have a contingent of about ten or a dozen HB supporters here so will not be left to soldier on solo like I dutifiably did in the very same clubrooms that I will be watching the game from tonight that famous day when Nemia Tialata went to sleep on the playing field .

[Number 10]

Just spoken to Sam McNicol, hopes to be available next week.

Mataele should've done a lot better than that

WTF, my feed is about 3 minutes behind.

Not enjoying the refs turnover interpretation. Players are resting their hands on the ground and he's blowing penalties in their favour.

[Bones]

Hah Knewstubb did not want any part of that.

Not sure I agree with his interpretation with the mauls either.

[Canes4life]

The Hastings contingent are playing very well tonight.

@Bones was never gonna stop him, but shoulda made more of an effort

[Winger]

Its all HB at present. just looking far too good but making too many unforced errors

But finally they score. 10-0 HB

[Bones]

Graphics department don't know the rules. They have Hawkes up as "BAY".

A maul just went forwards, sideways, the other sideways, then forwards - and he called "that's one".

[taniwharugby]

@Nepia happens all the time at present, reffing of stationary mauls is poor.

[Bones]

Fakatava could work on his decision making.

I want him to work on his haircut first though.

We can't all be style icons like you bro.

[Stargazer]

We should have put more points on Canterbury, but the Magpies are looking good thus far.

[Steven Harris]

The reverse pass from Fakatava is such a low percentage play, how often have you actually seen that work..?, and makes it even worse., there’s a good chance your gonna be isolated..just trying to think of the last time a Canterbury team was kept to nil at halftime

[Winger]

Good try Canterbury

But dumb play from Cridge

[Bones]

Hawkes Bay have a chance to get back in the game? Ummm... good one Dagg. They're leading.
