Manawatu v Magpies

@Stargazer said in Manawatu v Magpies:

I'd like to see IWL come on early.

Haven't seen anything from Sapsford. Has he had the ball at all?

Just the once, right aginst the right hand touchline about the Bay 10 yard mark. It was in traffic and he kicked ahead. In the meantime another beautiful work of art seem the third lineout drive try (Ash Dixon with his second one) and change of kicker Danny Toala successful from about ten metres to the left of the posts.
45 mins 'Poo 07 - 17 The Bay

Why do refs tell a team to clear it on a dominant scrum. Stupid reffing.

[Hooroo]

What’s the score. Happily. I’m watching love it or list it.......

[Stargazer]

@Hooroo 17 - 10 to the Bay with 53 minutes on the clock

@Hooroo 17 - 10 to the Bay

Cheers. Full time?

[Stargazer]

@Hooroo No, after 54 minutes played.

[Stargazer]

Another try from a line-out drive. Rakete-Stones this time.
24 - 10 to the good guys.

[Stockcar86]

24-10.

Great tactical kicking by Fakatava and McClutchie in the 2nd half with the wind

[Stargazer]

Try Folau Fakatava, converted by Toala.

31 - 13 to the Magpies with 10 minutes to go

[Higgins]

With a bit of luck the score might get to the 40s in the remaining ten minutes. Heaps of reserves have been run on so expect play to become a little disjointed from now on.

[Higgins]

Leading by twenty and you take a 48 metre penalty shot with five minutes to go. That's really rubbing it in. Would have been sweeter if Toala had not missed!!!!

[Stargazer]

Yessss, full time: Manawatu 13 - 31 Magpies

Bonus point in the bag as well!

[Stockcar86]

Apologies to those in the Hawkes Bay picking team. I did not keep the faith, and only picked us by 9-16

[Stargazer]

@Stockcar86 I may have done the same. Not having seen the team play yet, it was hard to know where we're at. Glad to know, too, that we're still expecting a few SR guys back.

Duane Monkley medal points:
Ash Dixon 3

@Stargazer superb forward effort ,PJ looking comfortable on the loose head side of the scrum.. Joel Hintz for a small stature goes well

[Stargazer]

@Steven-Harris Pouri was great! He looks way more confident than last year (bigger too?) and his game showed that.

[Stockcar86]

Every time I see Hinz, I am reminded of Otis Dozovik

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer really glad he was patient and hung around the Bay, he loves the region ..if he can keep this sort of form up, a super contract will be just around the corner..
A really dominant display from the magpies forwards..like the look of Fakatava , just needs to pick his moments..feel for Sam McNicol he can’t seem to catch a break at the minute.
