Canterbury v Hawkes Bay

@Higgins I reckon it's your fault...
@Higgins said in Canterbury v Hawkes Bay:
Breath easy guys, we have not lost any of the "close games" so far this season
With almost 15 to go....

Well f*ck. That's all.
No, that's not all. Why did the ref deny us a quick tap, only to explain to Canterbury why it was a penalty to the Bay?
Sam Smith has scored two tries already this season from quick taps. Who knows, he might have done it again if he caught them napping?

So our injury ward also becomes a bit too full, now also losing Caleb Makene, Lolagi Visinia and Lincoln McClutchie. If both of Makene and McClutchie don't make the next game, the Ranfurly Shield defence against Southland, it's likely to be our 19-year old puppy - Harry Godfrey - who'll have to start at 10. Heaven forbid Tiatia returns to play pivot.

I assume Toala has concussion too after that ending. If not he should sit out next week as a stupidity punishment.

@Nepia Yeah, that was so dumb! Total brain explosion. Still rather him than Sapsford or Higgins at 12.
Normally me too - but my anger at the forward pass and Toala stupidity hasn’t subsided yet. 🤣

A must win game so Wellington get a challenge. The team haven't had a lot of challenges in recent years

@Stargazer And they were in for a real trouncing after about 25 minutes until we eased off massively and they got a couple of late tries to put some respectability into the score, for them anyway.

I had to scroll through the thread three or four times looking for your posts of anger with the forward pass to Visinia for HB’s first try. Just couldn’t find them….

That one should have been reviewed by the TMO too (not sure why you expect me to get angry on behalf of your province) as it may well have been forward like the game changing one we're discussing.
