Magpies v Manawatu

[Higgins]

Scrum put in for HB, surely we can't blow it this time?

[Gunner]

Oh fuck.

[Higgins]

But we do and the 'Poo get a penalty and take play down to lineout 18 metres from the HB tryline

[Higgins]

Yes, a 'Poo knock on! Damn it he was playing advantage for a penalty

[Magpie_in_aus]

Jesus This isn't on foxtel for another half an hour. Updates are killing me

[Stockcar86]

Poo take a scrum from a penalty 12 metres out

[Gunner]

@magpie_in_aus is suggest you wait till half time before watching in that case.

[Higgins]

'Poo taking the scrum. After making mince meat of our last two scrums, I'm very worried.

[Gunner]

This is going to end badly for the Taniwha, I can feel it

[Higgins]

Getting very close to the goal posts

[Higgins]

It's out WE WIN

[taniwharugby]

[Magpie_in_aus]

A last ditch effort at a bit of reverse psychology did the trick.

[Stargazer]

I still need oxygen. Help!

[J77]

Mwah!!

[Higgins]

I'm worried about Nepia, it's not like him to refrain from HB Magpies game threads.

[Number 10]

Gareth Evans received the man of the match award - well deserved.

His speed off the back of the scrum was impressive, won lineouts, made tackles, scored a try.

K.R. Tremain Memorial Trophy successfully retained,

Manawatu arrived by bus in the morning, and left shortly after the final whistle.

[Nepia]

Never in doubt, um, yeah, well ....

Because Fox didn't show the game live here I was watching on a stream - then clearly the excitement of winning a game was too much for me and about 2 minutes after fulltime I got a migraine that laid me up until this morning.

What that game showed was that we have some talented attacking players, we just need a coach, and a defence coach.

While I'm disappointed we helped Northland I'm extremely glad we got a win over the Poo!
