[Stargazer]

Southland have now deleted the social media posts with their line-up. I'll replace the picture I posted as soon as they post their line-up again.

edit: done.

Here is the not so flash part, going from high 20s to this brrrrrrrrrr

MetService - Te Ratonga Tirorangi

7-5 to the home team as the rain begins

[Higgins]

ANyone watching? I understand it is seven nil to the home side. I am already hiding any sharp knives that might cause problems.

I'm watching @Higgins - I'll keep the updates coming

Oh no, I well remember result the last time we played them down there in blizzard like Antarctic conditions all those years ago.

Thanks, there is no radio commentary available on the local HB stations.

Was that the promotion match in 1989ish? We thrashed them at home in the round robin and finished top, but the rules then were if you played someone at home in round robin, you played them away in playoffs

Due to 94 I expect us to lose any game in Invercargill. Combine it with our lack of coaching and the currents coaches' love of the old coaches' Wellington mates (he seemingly loves them more) and I'm watching this like it's a horror movie.

15 minutes gone, still 7-5 to Southland.

[Stockcar86]

HB scrum looks strong with our starting front row. Won 1 penalty and pushed them back earlier in the game

[Stockcar86]

Sapsford drops after a great break by Visinia

[Stockcar86]

Now Tiatia throws it forward after a break by Grigg. HB pushing too many 50/50 passes currently

[Stockcar86]

Weber milks a good penalty throwing it into an offside player at the ruck

[Stockcar86]

MMT scores after the driving maul was stopped

[Stockcar86]

McClutchie gets this conversion, after previous one was off the post 7-12 after 25 minutes

[Stockcar86]

Average exit after restart as Tiatia skews it off side of boot

[Stockcar86]

HB scrum just outside their 22. Good strong defence

[Stockcar86]

Another scrum penalty as we destroy them again
