Hawke's Bay v Taranaki

[Stargazer]

@Higgins Should have sent a Naki man to the bin for that. They were under a warning.

[Stargazer]

Half time: Hawke's Bay 21 - 7 Taranaki

@Canes4life said in Hawke's Bay v Taranaki:

@Higgins haha classic from HB supporters, most of the time it's because the Wellington players are better. Agree that McClutchie is class and GB is mud.

Who are the Wellington players better than Retallick.

[Nepia]

Decent half, but probably should have banked three points for the scoreboard pressure rather than continually going for the maul for a try.

Emerson has been playing well the last few weeks, I should have called him out for being average a lot earlier.

The ref is really annoying me, not sure whether it's his whiny voice or his decisions.

[nakosi]

how is it possible to have 20 minutes of good free flowing rugby and then the other 20 of total crap ?

[Higgins]

@Nepia Have you stumbled onto a live stream in Sydney?

[Canes4life]

@Nepia Christian Cullen.

[Stargazer]

Penalty goal Perofeta.

21 - 10 HB

[Stargazer]

Again a Naki player (Naholo) penalised for offside. Still no card.

[Higgins]

Lineout from that penalty 16 metres out from the tryline. Double blast from the ref's whistle at long last

[Stargazer]

Leighton Price finally gets the YC.

[Stargazer]

Another warning for Taranaki.
Another line-out for the Bay.

[Higgins]

Fakatava absolutely murdered by a Naholo tackle when he was all but in for the try after yet another nice break from the ruck.

[Stargazer]

Penalty try and Taranaki is down to 13 men, with Bedwell-Curtis also sent to the bin.

[Higgins]

Penalty try from the lineout drive and 'Naki down to 13. If this keeps up they will have the same numnber as a soccer team before too much longer. 28 - 07 to the Bay six minutes into the second half.

Yep, it magically appeared on my laptop!

@Canes4life You can't compare nancy backs with forwards.

[Stargazer]

28 - 10 to the Bay after 47 minutes

[Nepia]

Well, we've benefited from his decisions this half but he's still annoying me, so it's the voice!

[Higgins]

@Nepia That's good, so we don't have to keep supplying you with a written commentary then!

[Stargazer]

Another Naki player penalised for side-entry. Geez
