Magpies v Otago (Championship SF)

[Nepia]

WTF, Collins wobbled through for the first try.

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

[Higgins]

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!

[Higgins]

@Nepia It was only the once, and it was in another thread!

Um, I think you need to read down this thread a bit.

[Steven Harris]

The start from the magpies is about as disappointing as the crowd that’s turned up..common on boys.,!

[Higgins]

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

[Stargazer]

Pfft, another soft try. Geez.

[Higgins]

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. 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.

[Stargazer]

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

[Higgins]

@Stargazer Clearly in front of the kicker

[Stargazer]

Otago 5 in from the side. Not penalised.

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

[Higgins]

Phew, another near miss

[Stargazer]

@Nepia Yep, but it's frustrating nevertheless.

[Stargazer]

Makene knocked out.

[Higgins]

And now two players looking likely to have to leave the field after what must have been some sort of collision. Can it get any worse?

[Higgins]

@Stargazer said in Hawke's v Otago (Championship SF):

Makene knocked out.

Shite, we only have two backs on the bench as well.

[Stargazer]

Sapsford on.

[Nepia]

Otago got lucky there, clear knock on just before ref blew the whistle for the head knocks.
