Magpies v Wellington

Higgins

Alls well with with world again, at least for the moment as Tom Parsons drives over for a lovey converted try. Sadly a Wellington long range try then makes the score HB 12 - 17 Wellington after about thirty two minutes

Stargazer

@Higgins How many minutes are you behind?

Stargazer

Try saver from McClutchie!

Steven Harris

Why oh why ,Hawke’s Bay when you have scrum dominance would you not keep the ball in the scrum and pull a penalty

Higgins

@Stargazer Using a borrowed computer after I left my mouse at a mates place. Hate using those touch pad things. It slows me up hugely and causing me great frustration, kind of like the non policing of the offside line of Wellington players by the visiting referee.

Steven Harris

Fakatava starting to remind me of Augustine Pulu..what’s on for me first..!

Canes4life

Beautiful turnover from Kirifi. Both teams looking deadly with ball in hand. Defence by both sides is something to be desired though.

Stargazer

@Higgins Ah, yes, I hate those touch pads, too!

Yeah, they're living offside quite a bit. Collectively, so not spotted.

How good is it to see Vince Aso back.

Wasn't good for us Bay fans.

Bovidae

Sapsford's defence on the right flank is poor, so Wellington are making plenty of breaks down his side.

Steven Harris

@Bovidae ain’t that the truth..he’s probably missed 3 or 4 of the 9 missed tackles..

Stargazer

@Bovidae Yes, I hope Lowe is not far from returning, because that part of the field is really exposed. Unfortunately, the HBRU never give injury updates, so no idea how bad his injury is.

Canes4life

@Bovidae that’s why he’s playing for The Bay and not Wellington. Lucky Lam is absent tonight.

Stargazer

Ah, this could be a loooooong second half. Numia in.

Canes4life

Outstanding start to the half. Another Billy Proctor deft touch. Leave him at Fullback.

Canes4life

How does Ben Nicholas not get a Super contract. He was playing like this last year.

Stargazer

Terrible kick.

Steven Harris

Gone from 9 missed tackles to 13 in a minute

It's sometimes easy to forget how young our squad is. Several 20-year-olds.
