Tevita li just loves a meat pie 🙂

game on!

I really don’t why teams don’t just pull the ball carrier across the line and just lock him up and it’s a goal line drop out ..

because if the dynamic situation goes pear shaped, it is 5-7 points.

But yes, there are places it's worth it... bur rare

VG try HB. Not converted

[Steven Harris]

@nzzp for me in that situation, the defenders both had Tolai locked up high has he was driving to the line , they collectively drove him back and the ball came out quickly ..
I reckon it would have been worth the risk ..

I agree in that case - they had tehball pretty secure.

Also, no rucks over the goal line - so you dno't have to release I believe.

Poor play Flanders almost led to a NH try

[Grooter]

@Chris Li as a replacement for Goosen? I just figured Li would want to join his good mates Bryn, Stevenson and D Mac in the Tron🙂

[Nepia]

WTF - I had no idea Brock James was coaching the Magpies.

[Grooter]

all tied up.. well this game could certainly go either way🙂

[Grooter]

Bryn 👏

[nzzp]

ouch that hurts.... all the way back

You could be right just a guess on my part.
Chief’s and Canes both need outside backs.

[Winger]

NH in front just before HT. Good try Tevita Li

15-12

My guess is he will join the Chiefs if they want him.

WTF commentators - only second game for Magpies for Retallick??

[Grooter]

the Bay have taken off Mikaele-Tu'u well I'm leaning towards wanting to see Habour pull this off now

[antipodean]

That's a great step by Stevenson. Caught the ball flat and made that try with the left foot step and acceleration.

[Grooter]

Great work by bones boy Stevenson and wow that man Tevita li I don't know what to say!
