Hawke's Bay v Counties Manukau

If Falcon had got injured who would have moved to 1st 5?

Last week, when Falcon had to go to the blood bin to get stitches in his face, Pasqualle Dunn moved to 10. So I guess Dunn is the one to replace him as long as McClutchie isn't in the 23.

The Jock Hobbs U19 Tournament starts on Sunday, so McClutchie, Toala, Kereru-Symes and Tavita-Metcalfe should be available after the weekend of the 15th. They'll be integrated into the squad slowly (that's what Ozich said at the beginning of the season), so will probably not get more than a little bit of game time. I'd expect Toala to be the first to be named of that group. His good boot will be welcome, although in fairness to Falcon, it was pretty windy yesterday and Fosita from Counties also missed a few kicks.

Watched the first half and was entertained.

Is Buckman injured? Just realised I didn't notice him in the game?

[Stargazer]

@hooroo Buckman isn't in the squad. He's playing in Japan.

@stargazer @Crucial Cheating bastards!

The reserve hooker went on when Parsons was lining up his conversion attempt.

Parsons returned to his side of halfway instead of going to the sideline.

@number-10 Pffft, we don't need facts.

Also, is that Harbour we're playing not Counties? I need to apologise to @Crucial and find out who's an out Harbour supporter so I can direct my abuse towards them.

@nepia Yep, I didn't look at the jerseys properly. Should have posted this in the Magpies v Harbour thread.

Even more reason to change the result!

Apologies accepted.
