yeah the Stags leading at halftime, just hope they don't fall off
-
The ref is Fraser Hannon. Is this his first NPC game? Never heard of him before.
-
was watching the all whites so what was Southland's red card for?
-
@FakatavaAllBlack One of those headclash incidents. Blood was streaming off Hayden Michaels' face. He looked red and received red.
-
Head clash. Michaels was the tackler so gets the punishment, as well as a blood nose an sore head.
-
12-10 CM
-
The red card is unfortunate for Southland in that they looked to have a chance to win this game, were ahead on the score board, and now they're behind again, with a man in the bin for 20 minutes.

And now further behind
19-10
-
I think Malimali has done enough for a super contract somewhere. Finished a good try, 19-10 ahead. Counties need a bonus point win today.
-
MaliMali I would rather him at the landers than those Waikato wingers to be honest
-
An important bonus point try for Counties. 26 to 13 lead.
-
Costly red card period for Southland
-
A time wasting penalty against our half back at the back of the ruck.
-
Southland now back to 15 players.
-
15 vs 15 again now
62 minutes
-
Southland score
26-20 with just over 10 minutes left
-
Counties need to be careful here, back to a 6 point lead.
-
Southland on top now. Big turnaround
-
26-25 with conversion to come
-
Yes!! Come on the Stags
-
27-26 Southland 7 minutes to go
-
That may be Paula Latu's first NPC try (not sure). He moved from Hawke's Bay to Southland a few years ago, because Southland was short of frontrowers and he hadn't made the Magpies' squad (he was in our Development team).
Great to see this. -
CM surely got an advantage from the knock-on. Lucky
-
too nervous
-
yes penalty!
-
Never say bottom of the table games aren't exciting. This one definitely is.
-
@FakatavaAllBlack said in Counties v Southland:
yes penalty!
45 seconds remain. 30-26 FT
Well done Southland
-
Up the Stags!! just wish they were paying more than $3 head to head lol
-
Quarter final chance gone. I am seeing improvements, hopefully this group, this coach can grow and we get a few more guys into super rugby.
-
Congratulations to the Stags ,injuries for Africa , a 20 minute red card ..down by 2 tries and they get the job done ..probably the game of the weekend .
-
@FakatavaAllBlack southland tend to go ok v Counties...
This is a bet my eldest put on them when they were on the back of that huge losing streak...
-
Manawatū must beat Northland with a bonus point, next week, to avoid the wooden spoon. Can't see that happening.
