Hawkes Bay v Southland (RS)

[KiwiMurph]

Southland a tad lucky there. Offload looked to go forward.

[Grooter]

Nice Marty 🙂

[Grooter]

classic Hawkes Bay 😩

Isn't it nice seeing players running onto the ball, plenty of movement with and without the ball.

Crap, thought this kicked off 2pm Oz time so was going to watch delayed as I'll be on a flight ... I could have watched most of the game. Bah.

Also, not liking the scoreline currently.

[Steven Harris]

Liking the development of Tyrone Thompson, has genuine size as well

[Grooter]

Useless c**t Gregory

we have the breeze in the second half

[Steven Harris]

Give a man wrap and then he throws the ball down outside of the lineout🤷🏻‍♂️

[Number 10]

@Stockcar86

Kel Tremain would be pleased.

He always played into the wind in the first half if he won the toss.

[Duluth]

66% possession to HB

Southland doing well to hang in there. That amount of tackling is going to hurt later in the match though

[Stockcar86]

great burst from MMT to set that up

[Grooter]

That's why bay fans love Chase

[Steven Harris]

30 phases amount to nought and then you get sucker punched by a 50/22

[Winger]

All HB now. Well and truly on top

45-17 (21-0 since HT) 60 minutes gone

[Winger]

Southland score a good try

55-24 (31-7 this half) 9 minutes left

62-24

[Grooter]

Good conversion MMT 😅

[Steven Harris]

Really impressed with Ben Castle..?, and Kane Hames with their analysis in commentary
Going to take a really good team to prize the shield away from Hawkes Bay ,to be honest I can’t see it moving this year which is not a bad thing from a province that you know will treasure it
