Magpies v Southland

[Stargazer]

Yup, Dixon with the try. That wind must be strong, because even Toala misses what didn't look like a difficult kick.

10 - 6 Magpies.

[Higgins]

@Stargazer Goalkicking does not seem to be a strength of our team. Can Devan Flanders kick goals?

[Stargazer]

@Higgins I was wondering whether Makene can kick.

[Stargazer]

I feel like swearing.

[Steven Harris]

Referee Rebecca Mahoney in her first game at this level doing a superb job...better watch out Glen Jackson...

[Higgins]

Is it just my imagination or are we seriously lacking a player with outright gas that could result in a 95 metre runaway try to our team?

[Stargazer]

Are we lucky we're playing Southland, now that we are playing so terribly? Or are we so terrible because we're playing Southland (complacency?)

[Higgins]

@Steven-Harris Agreed, she is going well. Incidentally her hairdo seems to resemble those popular amongst Northland players!

[Steven Harris]

@Higgins I was wondering where I had seen that hair style before..?

[Higgins]

What are the odds on yet another lineout drive try here?

[Steven Harris]

@Higgins for a discipline they don’t train for the Magpies have got the lineout drive and maul down pad..it’s like watching English packs during the 70s & 80s...!

[Stargazer]

Copy, paste, Ash Dixon try.

HT: Magpies 17 - 6 Southland

[Nepia]

While I'm happy to get the try I still don't agree with the two go mauls. We were stopped, we should have had to play it.

[Number 10]

Both captains are a bit frustrated. They both had separate conversations with the ref when they were coming off.

[NTA]

Watching this out the corner of my eye having renewed Kayo today.

Haven't seen any Mitre 10 Cup in a while - many female officials around?

Great try

[Stargazer]

Dammit. Try Te Tamaki

17 - 13 Magpies

[Stargazer]

@NTA She's the first and it's her debut in the M10 Cup tonight. There are more ARs.

[Nepia]

What's going on, the Magpies have fallen asleep.

[Stargazer]

@Nepia We're shit.

[Higgins]

It looks like like the ghosts of Craig Philpott still haunt the dressing room.
