North Harbour vs. Hawkes Bay

[Stockcar86]

Haha Duffie taking a dive

[Stockcar86]

Harbour defence gone from looking like a brick wall to swiss cheese

[Tim]

Terrible reffing. Hawkes Bay had several players go off their feet over the ball to seal it off and prevent a turnover. A classic penalty.

[Higgins]

Yellow card you prick

[Higgins]

Yes it is awarded against the Nth Harbour No 8 for his repeated late tackling

[Gunner]

Willy Lose called and Duffie came running....

Pretty good game....sensational individual effort by duffie

That wasn't even late (and if it was late was far less late then the one a moment before when the Hawkes Bay player didn't even use his arms and wasn't even penalised).

[Higgins]

Yes I have to agree with that TR, admittedly through gritted teeth.

[Stockcar86]

Hopefully our scrum is better against 7...

[Gunner]

The lack of refereeing of the offside line this season is pissing me off.

If the assistant refs aren't going to call it they might as well revert to being called touch judges

[taniwharugby]

Hungus volavola there

[Higgins]

Dumb play by the HB blindside giving away an almost certain three points Nth Harbour 30 - 27 Hawkes Bay after the kick is successful

[taniwharugby]

Buckman looked offside at that last play that lead to the turnover

[taniwharugby]

Penalty traders

[Stockcar86]

Well, fuck

[Gunner]

That was a bit daft from Gatland kicking the ball away with only 60 seconds left on the clock.

Had a chance to let the forwards close the game out, but all he achieved by kicking was give HB a chance.

Good game to watch.

[Higgins]

At least they finally showed a bit of ticker

[reprobate]

that's a farce, the guy who caused the final turnover was an absolute mile offside.
ref no stones.

[Stockcar86]

Looks like Falcon got a bit of his mojo back which is good
