North Harbour v Hawke's Bay

[Stargazer]

@Duluth The picture on FB is better.

@Higgins pfft, it's only Northland!

Haven't had a good track record in shield challenges in recent years (talking 10+ given the lack of them we have had) more often than not, failing to fire much of a shot.

[taniwharugby]

you lads need to get onto Mitre 10, that is unacceptable!

Kayo not playing the game. Angry old man email on their way.

[Stargazer]

For who hadn't noticed. Because there are two games being played at the same time, this game will be on Sky Sport 2 (and Fox Sports More, Ch 507 in Oz).

[Stargazer]

@Nepia You don't get Fox Sports More on Kayo?

@Nepia You don't get Fox Sports More on Kayo?

Funnily enough I just logged into my Kayo account to send my angry man letter and noticed it was available when it clearly wasn't when I first typed out that post.

[Nepia]

Crap, Harbour in after the Pies tried to run it out from the 22.

[Stockcar86]

MMT!

[Stargazer]

This is just as bad as I expected, and that's with the wind in the Magpies' backs.
Hoping for some half time changes and, especially, it's not going to be a monster score.

[Stargazer]

Oh, and Kurt Baker really is a liability. Just move Makene to fullback when McClutchie comes on!!!

[Stockcar86]

McNicol is another option for fullback

[Stargazer]

Oh, and just to continue my brief rant: is it coincidence that our two sevens players (Baker and Sapsford) seem to concede more turnovers than others? Grrr.

[Stargazer]

@Stockcar86 Yeah, but then more changes are necessary, like moving Fomai to centre and Makene to the wing. Don't want to bring on Tuitavuki early.

[Stockcar86]

FFS, what is this, ripper rugby?

[Stockcar86]

The ref's comment "live I saw contact to the head". Meaning, I can't see anything on the replay and won't admit I was wrong, so giving you a yellow card

[Stockcar86]

Hoping to salvage something from this game Maybe Baker can get a season ending injury

[Nepia]

I wish I didn't discover this game was being broadcast.

[taniwharugby]

Great interplay in that try

[Stargazer]

@Stockcar86 That was really a stupid yellow. Stupid from the ref, I mean.
