    @Bovidae Yeah, I think that's what will happen if Fakatava gets injured. So far this season, Fakatava's replacement (Zach Donaldson) has had very little game time. If Fakatava was subbed at all, it was always very late in the game, so Fakatava can easily go the full 80. So bench cover would only be injury cover. McClutchie can go to halfback, Falcon to first five, Makene to fullback.

    I just read in the Hawke's Bay Today (unfortunately behind the paywall; had to use a trick), that they expect Lowe to play only 20-30 minutes because he hasn't played much this year (due to injury), but they want to get him ready for the Final (if they win tomorrow). That also explains why both Sapsford and Lowe had to be on the bench. Apparently, that 6-2 split is more important than having a reserve halfback, although in a previous game, they changed that on game day.

    They also hope to have Danny Toala back for the Final.

    Interestingly, the Otago reserve halfback Connor McLeod is a St John's (Hastings) old boy. His father is former Magpies first five-eighth Ross McLeod. Connor was never selected for any of the Hawke's Bay rep teams.

    Is Chris Eaton away whitebaiting somewhere?

    Sitting here in full supporters kit albeit still missing my flag which a certain Wellington Lions player will forever be tainted as the number 1 suspect in it's disappearance. Replacement black and white hooped socks might be the all important change that could make the difference in a narrow win becoming a big Magpies win and new beanie and scarf topping of the outfit.
    Oh here is the final top up to complete our pre-match build up for us HB supporters


    Bring it on!

    WTF, Collins wobbled through for the first try.

    FFS @Higgins this is what happens when you mention Eaton multiple times this week!

    Yeah, not the best. I was still adjusting my cushions to make things a bit more comfortable so at least I was spared watching it!

    Um, I think you need to read down this thread a bit. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    @Nepia Oh yeah I forgot about that other one but it got red carded by Stargazer so hopefully that negates it's effect!

    Jeez, This is terrible, surely there must be something untoward going on behind the scenes that we are unaware of at this stage.
    Hawkes Bay 00 - 14 Otago after just ten minutes

    That was my red card. ๐Ÿ™‚ Clearly I needed to give you a suspension as well.

    FFS, you'd think after the last two matches we would have been doing defence training in the lead up to this match.

    An obvious offside from Otago not spotted. That's the 2nd.

    We're not getting the rub of the green but that's irrelevant to how shit we're playing.
