Hawke's Bay v South Canterbury (RS)

[Donsteppa]

The game seems to have gone about to script for a pre-season Ranfurly Shield game so far.

[Steven Harris]

These sorts of games should be played away , I really don’t see the point in playing amateur teams at home ..Not even Hawkes Bay supporters give a hoot
Not a bad effort from blokes that will be back at work tomorrow morning

[Steven Harris]

That’s a brilliant passage of play from an amateur team .deserved a try showing they are a very well coached team

[Grooter]

think it's cool South Canterbury have a player with the surname Fakatava!

[Grooter]

They're playing at the right end of the field that's for sure

[Grooter]

McLeod gets a double

[Steven Harris]

Big difference in the quality of starting halfback compared to the reserve halfback for South Canterbury

[KiwiMurph]

Score?

[Grooter]

Good on the Timaru lads!

[Steven Harris]

@KiwiMurph Hawkes Bay 38 -15 score hugely flattering to the home team

[Grooter]

@KiwiMurph 38 - 15

[KiwiMurph]

@Steven-Harris @FakatavaAllBlack thanks. Awesome effort!

[Crucial]

That SC 18 reserve prop has great handling. Pity he’s built like a hippo.

[Steven Harris]

@KiwiMurph incredible effort by these guys , plenty of heart and no lack of skill , have created so many chances…and this last try , truly amazing ..
Like to know more about this coach , very well coached

[Crucial]

What a finish! Great endeavour by SC.

[Grooter]

South Canterbury certainly did themselves proud!

[Steven Harris]

@FakatavaAllBlack Incredible that heartland team can rock against a premiership team with such a solid set piece line out , but complete phase after phase at breakdown with such accuracy, but more importantly stay in the fight for 80 minutes and then score the try of the match at the end
Their ball movement and support play was superb.

[Crucial]

If they had won would they become the (Caroline) Bay?

@Duluth worth looking at those highlights just to see that last try
