Manawatu v Counties Manukau

[Chris B.]

Roigard starts the 2nd half and scores a try after 5 minutes - nice little dummy close to the posts and scores under them.

[Chris B.]

Iose should have replied almost immediately - but, he runs through a gap - looks about to score but just drops the ball trying to shift it to the other arm. Minties moment!

[Mattasaurus]

Counties making very hard work of this ..... Clean outs and some of their tackling in close has been poor.

[Chris B.]

Nice run and try by Dalton - offload from Hoskins to put him in space.

Who was it the other day claiming Papali'i locked pace and dynamic ism?

[Bovidae]

Armstrong-Ravula doesn't want to tackle anyone.

[Chris B.]

Now Dalton puts Roigard into space - he easily steps a couple of defenders and scores.

[Frank]

Ridiculous skills from a halfback - looks like a wing in space

Partly explaining their scrummaging.....

[Frank]

Last try saw the Counties defenders hanging off expecting Roigard to go himself.
Shows the value of having a true running halfback.

Has Vernon Bason switched from hooker to loosie?

Injuries meant he was named as a reserve loose forward.

[Frank]

Papalii off with what looks to be a (hopefully) minor injury.

[Dan54]

@KiwiMurph was wondering about Bason too mate, his brother is a loosie

[Dan54]

The extra good thing is with Counties (hopefully) making finals now Roigard will get another run before ABs assemble for EOYT!
Glad to see Brash got MOTM , geez he played bloody well.
