Counties Manukau v Waikato

[Bovidae]

@Yeetyaah said in Counties Manukau v Waikato:

Also, in the article it says that Johnstone has been ruled out for a few weeks with a hand injury.

Out for the season I was told today. Toby Smith should be back to cover the loss.

[Yeetyaah]

@Bovidae Ah ratshit. Been pretty average recently but sad to see the young guy out for the season.

[Bovidae]

Quinn Tupaea won't be playing and is replaced by Louis Rogers.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Injured?

[Bovidae]

@Stargazer A minor injury. He said he would be back next game.

21-7 to Waikato at HT.

The breakdown is a mess and the offside line is non-existent.

kind of weird - the ref's going OK, but I think missed a big knock on for the second (?) Waikato try, and then let people swim up the side of the ruck for the third. Evenly matched generally... would be stoked to see CM win this one

[Bovidae]

@nzzp The C-M player was offside at a ruck right on the goal line when he tackled Stratton so swings and roundabouts.

Luke Jacobson is playing well too.

[Bovidae]

Phew. Waikato hold on 31-26.

Plenty of close finishes this round.

Waikato is missing McWhannell in the lineout as not much height there.

[sparky]

Luke Jacobson superb. Turning point in the game was when he went off.
