Three and a half hours to kickoff, and temperature is 22 degrees.

[Yeetyaah]

I thought NZR read the fern? They should know that BoP are The Bay. Useless.

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah That's a misinterpretation from the Fern. The real bragging rights are about who is the REAL Bay, not who can call themselves Bay (that's a Fern thing).

perhaps, ...I would argue the fern started it before any of the media got involved.Still a good bit of fun on the side nonetheless

[Yeetyaah]

What do we call this one? Battle of the Vikings? Or something idk.

[Nepia]

The Poo defence has been annoyingly good so far.

[Nepia]

And then the Poo score a long range try.

To be expected from their international laden team.

[Yeetyaah]

Why would they even need to go upstairs for that? It's not Reiko scoring the try.

[Yeetyaah]

Great try from Toala. @Stargazer please contain yourself.

[Nepia]

Finally the Magpies get a try after a McClutchie chip kick for Toala to run slowly on to and catch, jog to the line and score.

[Nepia]

Flanders scores after a great run by Makene. Good to have an actual attacking fullback in the team this week.

[Stockcar86]

Makene so much better than Baker

[Nepia]

Try to the Poo after a nice pass by NMS.

[Nepia]

Makene in after a nice pass from McClutchie.

[Stockcar86]

Baker can wave goodbye to that 15 jersey now

[Nepia]

O'Connor in for a lucky try after not being held by the Poo defenders.

Halftime - 28 - 12 to the Pies.

[Stargazer]

Nick Briant has helped the Pooh enough for the game, I'd say. Fortunately, the Magpies didn't let the bad calls affect them. Just keep going!!

[Stargazer]

@Nepia That was the easiest of easy tries!
