Hawkes Bay v Counties Manukau

[Higgins]

<p>Now Selesele manages to find another way of butchering a try. Why do my guys make try scoring look so difficult?</p>

[Higgins]

<p>This five metre scrum must bring a try to the Bay</p>

[Higgins]

<p>No, they manage to find someway to avoid that despite the scrum having looked good in most scrums prior to that.</p>

[Stockcar86]

<p>FFS that was balking by Pulu</p>

[Higgins]

<p>A deliberate infringement by him should have resulted in a yellow card.</p>

[ACT Crusader]

What was that penalty??

[Stockcar86]

<p>this ref is just guessing at everything</p>

[Stockcar86]

<p>if HB did not give up 4 or 5 soft tries each game, they could be competitive</p>

That should never have been a try to Counties, foot on the line by Counties at the start of that movement</p></blockquote>

I'm sitting in the Harris Stand and looked foot on the line from where I am<br>
did TV show it?

[Higgins]

<p>Clear as daylight, I never miss any infringements against HB!</p>

[Higgins]

<p>How did the ref decide that was where the penalty should be when it was for a man in front?</p>

<p>Agreed on both counts (<strong>Mike Coman might not have been so bad after all!!!!</strong>) but somehow the Bay manage to score a try wide out on the right to Robbie Fruean and its nicely converted by West HB  10 - 10  Counties after twenty minutes</p>

<p>Weirdly they didn't show a replay.</p>

[Stockcar86]

<p>Remember this is supposed to be the easier part of the season, with a decent gap between games</p>

[Stockcar86]

<p>FFS even the scrum has turned to shit</p>

[Higgins]

<p>Now even the scrum has turned to custard</p>

[Stockcar86]

<p>But as long as they are enjoying themselves Mr Philpott</p>

[Higgins]

<p>Peter Russell was given the archer after taking the team to promotion. Wonder what will be the prize for winning relegation will be for this coaching outfit?</p>

[Higgins]

<p>Just in case anyone is interested the score has ballooned out to HB 13 - 31 Counties after fifty minutes.</p>

[Higgins]

<p>Ben May has gone down in the last two scrums, but thats ok as he was signed for his experience too bad they did not factor in his scrummaging ability.</p>

[Stockcar86]

<p>That is not a penalty as he picked up the ball behind where the other HB player touched it, even if he was in front when the ball was last touched</p>
