Advantage Palmy.

Palmy knock on. That advantage lasted long and they made many metres.

[Stargazer]

Palmy again going for the scrum at about midway Napier's half.

[Stargazer]

Penalty to Napier!
The kick doesn't cross the touchline and Palmy go for a run again.

[Stargazer]

Bad pass from the Palmy player and Joel Russell picks it up. Palmy then offend again and it's a penalty to Napier. Another line-out, close to Palmy's 22.

[Stargazer]

The officials say the throw wasn't straight. Scrum Palmy.

[Stargazer]

Line-out Napier on Palmy's 22. The throw was good, but one of the Napier players drops the ball.

Palmy scrum.

[Stargazer]

Good passage of play from Palmy boys, with passes sticking, until finally a player knocks the ball on.

It's half time!

Palmy Boys 0 - 12 Napier Boys

@stargazer What is the bonus point requirement in the Super 8 ie is it at least four tries or three more than the opposition?

[Stargazer]

@Higgins I think they need to score 4 tries or more.

[Higgins]

Bloody early tackle, that's a penalty try surely?

[Stargazer]

More handling errors now. No surprise with all that mud.

[Stargazer]

Now Palmy drops the ball. Napier going for the pick and go early, still some distance to go to the try line.

[Stargazer]

Arghh again a dropped ball. Palmy scrum.

[Stargazer]

Bad clearing kick from Palmy. Napier line-out.

[Stargazer]

That's Palmy's first line-out steal.

Now some kicking back and forth. Napier get the line-out, but back in their own half.

[Stargazer]

Geez, another knock-on. Palmy scrum, now a bit deeper in Napier's half.

[Stargazer]

Scrums are hard on that field.

Napier get the penalty!

[Stargazer]

The commentators regularly get the names wrong, btw.

[Stargazer]

Palmy line-out in Napier's half.

They're making metres with their drive, players going for a run. And knock on.

[Stargazer]

Not sure why this is a Palmy line-out but Napier steal it and kick the ball away.

That was a great break from the Palmy winger, but of course it ends in a knock on.

Napier penalty.
