Forward surely...

Backwards out of the hand, drifted forward is the decision I assume.

[taniwharugby]

@nepia that started forward and went more forward...but all good.

[Dice]

Toala at centre. Never seen him there.

I thought so at first, but the sideline angle looked much more like momentum.

It would've been galling to not award it after some of the maul decisions.

[Dice]

Give the Highlanders the MP backline and this game is already over.

[antipodean]

Highlanders may rue Hunt's inability to kick a conversion.

[taniwharugby]

@dice given Gregory played 7s, he offers no attacking threat, his ball security and tackle accuracy is poor (last year defence and ruck work was very good)

[KiwiMurph]

For a team that struggles to defend the maul you'd think MP would try to avoid giving away penalties.

[Machpants]

@taniwharugby he's gone so far backwards, it's not funny

It's a feature of all three island sides, they're just playing to stereotype

[African Monkey]

Nice to see only one side getting pinged for being offside tonight.....

[Stargazer]

Fakatava is getting better with every game he plays.

[KiwiMurph]

Highlanders need a better 13

Not hard after his first one of the season!

Always the negative angle aye?

[Toddy]

Fakatava first action was to put his hands on the ground to balance himself. It's a bullshit penalty.

[Stargazer]

I forgot this is a grumpy old men forum. Better get out before I turn into one as well.

[KiwiMurph]

@stargazer people are allowed to criticise Hawke's Bay players

[antipodean]

Well done Brumbies on your first win of the competition.
