Hawkes Bay v Counties Manukau

[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>

[Nepia]

<p>What the hell?????</p>

<p>yes Lowe got himself back onside before playing the ball. Fucking ref has no idea at all</p>

[Higgins]

<p>It certainly is frustrating, especially considering he was contemplating awarding a penalty try. Considering it was referred to him surely the TMO could have pointed out that Lowe was not offside?</p>

[Higgins]

<p>Surely by now you would think HB have got kicking off down pat (they have certainly had plenty of them in these three games) but no yet again another knock on for about the fourth time from a restart tonight.</p>

[Stockcar86]

<p>Well at least they enjoyed themselves even if they almost conceeded 50 at home </p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Fucking hell. That was depressing. And infuriating. All. at . the. fucking. same. time!!!!</p>

<p>I assume he's playing with the U19s this Saturday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I predict another loss for both the Saracens and U19s by the way. The U18 girls might win. They seem to be our only winning team thus far.</p>
