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.

Recant on that nasty comment about the Ta$man loosies or feel the wrath of Mistress Karma!

I was merely referencing the depth you have in the loosies. A depth us small poor unions without franchise and NZR backing are unable to attain.

Plus, you won in the end.

Two tries by Michael Collins and you still haven't recanted!

Not yet. We're working our way back into it!

Try to Rakete-Stones.

Don't leave it too late - Caleb Makene's impersonation of Taufua should be a further warning about Karma's sword dangling over your head!

I'm not going to lie to myself and the world just to appease karma.

Ben May with 2 dumb ass plays within 2 minutes

Product of Nelson College @Nepia!

Not an academically minded school I see.

True, it's hard to top that/him.

[Higgins]

The halftime shot in the changing rooms does not show all that many dropped water bottles. Hopefully that is a good sign that our handling errors might be cured. Just got to work on the tackling now.

[Stargazer]

Why kick for goal? Go to the corner!

[Higgins]

Take the kick, it's an easy three points.

[Nepia]

We're getting the ref rub of the green at the moment.

[Higgins]

Hawkes Bay 17 - 24 after 48 minutes, The Magpies on attack with what looks to be a sou westerly breeze behind them

[Higgins]

We haven't scored a lineout drive try for a couple of games. Chance to make amends here?

[Steven Harris]

Fakatava doing my head in..takes a sideways step b4 passing

[Higgins]

Big change coming up with Isaiah Walker Leawere about to be injected into the HB team.

[Nepia]

I take my rub of the green comment back.

[taniwharugby]

is that wind strong? Ioanes kicking was pants last week too

[Higgins]

@Nepia That knock on call looked to be a bit lucky

[Stargazer]

Ref totally missed that several Otago players were in front of the kicker.

I think it was fair, it's up to Ioane to hold on to the ball and he lost in the pass.

But I was referring to the turnover ruck, there was an Otago player lying on our side.

[Nepia]

Then we get a lucky scrum penalty.

[taniwharugby]

@Nepia yeah I reckon if you lose control, whether knocked out or not, and it goes forward, then tough luck.
