Magpies v Southland

[Stargazer]

Copy, paste, Ash Dixon try.

HT: Magpies 17 - 6 Southland

[Nepia]

While I'm happy to get the try I still don't agree with the two go mauls. We were stopped, we should have had to play it.

[Number 10]

Both captains are a bit frustrated. They both had separate conversations with the ref when they were coming off.

Watching this out the corner of my eye having renewed Kayo today.

Haven't seen any Mitre 10 Cup in a while - many female officials around?

Great try

[Stargazer]

Dammit. Try Te Tamaki

17 - 13 Magpies

[Stargazer]

@NTA She's the first and it's her debut in the M10 Cup tonight. There are more ARs.

[Nepia]

What's going on, the Magpies have fallen asleep.

[Stargazer]

@Nepia We're shit.

[Higgins]

It looks like like the ghosts of Craig Philpott still haunt the dressing room.

Given the official plenty of credit ,but Evans should be in the bin..that’s about as Cynical as it gets ..Southland would have had a line up to the left..

I thought there's already been one in the NPC this year? Or I'm Nostradamus.

Similar to club Rugby here then. I've had 1 female ref (2007) and a couple of ARs. Amy Perrett has done a few Premier Club first grade games here.

Yeah he should of, but so should have the Southland lock in the first half who picked up the ball while lying on the ground a similar distance from the try line.

[Stargazer]

@Nepia This same ref officiated a Heartland Ranfurly Shield game.

[Stargazer]

@NTA Perrett has already been the ref in a SR game, too.

[Stargazer]

Oh man. Please, don't lose this game.

[Number 10]

The crowd, and me, getting pissed off

[Stargazer]

Bonus point try Toala!

[Stargazer]

24 - 13 HB

[Higgins]

Don't you just love it when the penalty count is about sixteen four in your favour. Probably one of the reasons why my guys just can't seem to string much together. Too many interruptions from penalties stifling any lengthy buildups of forward pressure. In fact it is kind of like playing Clive or Colenso Pirates in the early 70s. They had they uncanny knack of dragging opposition teams down to their level on a regular basis. Sane thing is happening here tonight.
