@Tim said in Hawke's Bay v Auckland:
Wasn't that a clear penalty for playing the ball on the ground there?
Yes thought the same. We need a big half here that was pathetic.
-
Hawkes Bay in. We could be gone here.

Seu needs to come on for Moli.
Hopefully he never plays 6 again.
-
And somehow we're in front, now can we get a bloody kickoff!
-
Don't know why we're happy we were awful for most of it. That win feels like a loss.

I'd love to have a win that feels like a loss.... Better than having a yet another loss that feels like a... a........ loss. 😉

I'm sure I'll feel better about it once I've calmed down. Just pissed at how bad we were for most of the game.

Totally understand, just pulling your leg. I'm much the same when the All Blacks play shit but still win, kinds feel ripped off. (I'd love to also insert Northland in place of the ABs, but we don't win)

@African-Monkey Yep, as Gunner says, that was a win for you guys, we know what the loss feels like.
Funny that there are two threads running for this match.

Yes haha should be thankful for a win when there are long suffering Northland fans out there.
I thought Vince Aso came into his own in the last 20 but yes, no Ioane's and we simply don't win that match. They were immense.
Fatialofa looked a bit off the pace for me. Maybe he's still a bit tired from super rugby but I don't think he's anywhere near his best at the moment. Seu, apart from his penalty he gave away and GPT made a positive impact.. Hopefully we don't see Moli at 6 again.
Massive improvement needed for Waikato on Sunday. Being back at home will hopefully help.

@Nepia My prediction of an upset almost came off lol.
-
@African-Monkey There's no almost! You won. Grrrr.

-
@African-Monkey I thought the Ioane's would carve it up, I didn't realise you were going to waltz Seu on from the bench and then unleash Pleasants-Tate as the new outside hooker back.

Yes the beauty of depth where it can get you out of the shit like it did for us tonight. Still think we're struggling with the rules.
Mark Abbott was probably the best out there tonight with West (apart from his miss at the end). West had the ball on a string in the first half and Abbott was a handful all night. Your scrum also dominated but that was to be expected against a rookie front row.
Do your good Auckland mates a favour and beat Canterbury on Sunday please. We know all you Bay fans (apart from stargazer) have a strong dislike for the cantabs
