Southland v Hawke's Bay
-
Ash Dixon scores from a rolling maul. McClutchie hits the post. Southland 6-5 after 21 mins.
-
Ash Dixon in again from a rolling maul with McClutchie missing the kick again. Hawke's Bay 10-6 up at half time. Southland probably had more of the play in the 1st half but couldn't come away with a try for all their endeavour. Hawke's Bays set piece working well in tough conditions.
-
Weber's on the field 60secs and gets charged down from a ruck clearance. Southland lead 16 - 10.
-
Pleasants-Tate score his 2nd for the day. All 4 tries scored from the hookers today. Southland lead 16-10 after 51 mins.
-
Hahaha Marshall claiming that Glenn Preston had replaced Mikaele-Tu'u.
-
42 year old Jason Rutledge is on.
-
HB will be ruing missed opportunities. Good to see some wet weather rugby again.

@Nepia Awful game just nothing went right, have to bounce back next week.
Hope so, will be a home game against @Crucial's lot so hopefully they can put in a good one.

@antipodean Definitely suited the Stags. Reminded me of when they defended the Ranfurly Shield against Auckland in 2010 where they just defended multiple attacks time and time again. Selby-Rickit, Pleasants-Tate, Lambourn and James all stood up for them in the pack, with Eade's general kicking getting them out of trouble a lot.
Southland probably won't threaten promotion, but they have a much more competitive side this year. Don't see any reason why they can't push for a semi final spot.
