@stargazer What is the bonus point requirement in the Super 8 ie is it at least four tries or three more than the opposition?

[Stargazer]

@Higgins I think they need to score 4 tries or more.

[Higgins]

Bloody early tackle, that's a penalty try surely?

[Stargazer]

More handling errors now. No surprise with all that mud.

[Stargazer]

Now Palmy drops the ball. Napier going for the pick and go early, still some distance to go to the try line.

[Stargazer]

Arghh again a dropped ball. Palmy scrum.

[Stargazer]

Bad clearing kick from Palmy. Napier line-out.

[Stargazer]

That's Palmy's first line-out steal.

Now some kicking back and forth. Napier get the line-out, but back in their own half.

[Stargazer]

Geez, another knock-on. Palmy scrum, now a bit deeper in Napier's half.

[Stargazer]

Scrums are hard on that field.

Napier get the penalty!

[Stargazer]

The commentators regularly get the names wrong, btw.

[Stargazer]

Palmy line-out in Napier's half.

They're making metres with their drive, players going for a run. And knock on.

[Stargazer]

Not sure why this is a Palmy line-out but Napier steal it and kick the ball away.

That was a great break from the Palmy winger, but of course it ends in a knock on.

Napier penalty.

[Stargazer]

Another dominant scrum from Palmy, who now get the penalty.

[Stargazer]

Palmy line-out deep into Napier's half.

Palmy attacking again .. but knock on.

Napier struggling a bit.

[Stargazer]

Palmy players loses the ball forward again, Napier back on attack. Box kick goes high and not long.

Palmy get possession back. Napier has to do a lot of tackling at the moment.

[Stargazer]

Turnover Napier. That may have been Angus Prouting.

[Stargazer]

So many Palmy players offside or diving on the ruck. Ref lets it all go.

[Stargazer]

Napier back on attack and get the penalty midway Palmy's half.

Bit of a committee meeting about what to do.

[Stargazer]

Of course, they go to the line-out. On the Palmy 5m line.
