[Higgins]

@Winger At least playing into the wind does favour you when it blows lineout throws down your side.

Good defense HB

[Nepia]

WTF was Weber doing at the penalty?

[taniwharugby]

@Nepia not liking the wind for kicking...woulda been fine if mcclutchie had gone for the line

[Winger]

13-8. Cnaterbury close the gap

[Higgins]

Olly Sapsford partially redeeming himself with a deserved try HB 18 - 8 Canterbury Lolani VIsinia about to be replaced by Nick Grigg grrrrrr

[Winger]

VG try HB. 18-8

[Higgins]

Early tackle, surely that's foul play and a penalty try with luck he says with my very one eyed view

Yellow card only. But Canterbury lucky it wasn't a penalty try as well

[Higgins]

It is for the former and Canterbury dodge a bullet by it not being seen my way in the latter. You can just imagine @Stargazer eloquently agreeing with me on this one

Try to Brad Weber anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Canterbury 08 - 25 Hawkes Bay after the McClutchie conversion, about 20 minutes left

HB scrum get the better of Canterbury in 2 scrums. Good HB try

25-8 HB

[Higgins]

And Olly Sapsford further redeeming himself in my eyes with a fair hammering of George Bridge! And then follows another domineering scrum by The Bay as the dream continues

[Higgins]

Ahhh pooop, weak defence lets in a try Canty 15 - 25 HB

17 remaining

[Higgins]

Rest easy, surely that forward pass will be called and the fluke try for Canterbury rubbed out.

[Winger]

Lucky try Canterbury.

[Nepia]

Get fucked! There’s no way that’s backwards out of the hand.

Agree.

25-22 HB

[Winger]

Canterbury taking a shot

Over 25 all

[Higgins]

Breath easy guys, we have not lost any of the "close games" so far this season. A draw and one and two points wins show a staunch defence of our line. But then there is always the James Dolman factor that needs to be overcome.
