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

[Stargazer]

Not sure why Palmy gets the penalty, but it's their scrum feed. Still close to their 5m.

[Stargazer]

Napier turnover. Pick and go. Come on boys!

[Stargazer]

No try. Ref says held-up.

[Higgins]

@Nepia won't be impressed after the commentators called Ahuriri as Heretaunga!

[Stargazer]

The kick doesn't go far. Napier back in possession.

Little knock on. Palmy get the ball back.

[Stargazer]

@Higgins I missed that. I've only heard Ahuriri.

Palmy commentators though, so they probably are doing it on purpose!

[Stargazer]

Napier line-out at halfway. Penalised for holding on. Palmy back in possession and kicking for a line-out, 10m into Napier's half.

[Higgins]

@stargazer Not looking good time wise to score two more tries in the remaining eight minutes. I can see one coming but, sadly, not two.

[Stargazer]

Line-out not straight.

Now Napier also get the penalty. Line-out Napier.

[Stargazer]

Sigh. Another penalty to Palmy. They seem so random.

[Stargazer]

Great break from the Palmy reserve winger. Palmy hot on attacj again.

[Stargazer]

Another random penalty to Palmy. I don't trust this ref.

[Stargazer]

Just over 5 minutes to go.

[Stargazer]

Palmy line-out on Napier's 5m.

[Stargazer]

Their maul is moving forwrds. Napier penalised for offside.

[Higgins]

Ahhhh pooop, Palmy avoid the down trou with a very late try!

[Stargazer]

Scrum! Napier with the feed, but so close to Napier's try line.

[Stargazer]

Try Palmy.

[Stargazer]

That Palmy scrum has been dominant, so it's kind of deserved. I hate to say that.

The try goes unconverted.

5 - 12 Napier
