Magpies v Otago (Championship SF)

[Higgins]

Jeez, This is terrible, surely there must be something untoward going on behind the scenes that we are unaware of at this stage.
Hawkes Bay 00 - 14 Otago after just ten minutes

@Higgins said in Hawke's v Otago (Championship SF):

@Nepia Oh yeah I forgot about that other one but it got red carded by Stargazer so hopefully that negates it's effect!

That was my red card. Clearly I needed to give you a suspension as well.

FFS, you'd think after the last two matches we would have been doing defence training in the lead up to this match.

[Stargazer]

An obvious offside from Otago not spotted. That's the 2nd.

[Higgins]

@Stargazer Clearly in front of the kicker

[Stargazer]

Otago 5 in from the side. Not penalised.

We're not getting the rub of the green but that's irrelevant to how shit we're playing.

[Higgins]

Phew, another near miss

[Stargazer]

@Nepia Yep, but it's frustrating nevertheless.

[Stargazer]

Makene knocked out.

[Higgins]

And now two players looking likely to have to leave the field after what must have been some sort of collision. Can it get any worse?

[Higgins]

@Stargazer said in Hawke's v Otago (Championship SF):

Makene knocked out.

Shite, we only have two backs on the bench as well.

[Stargazer]

Sapsford on.

[Nepia]

Otago got lucky there, clear knock on just before ref blew the whistle for the head knocks.

[Higgins]

And now what looked like a head high tackle by Adam Thompson not censured with the ref coming back for a previous penalty infringement.

Recant on that nasty comment about the Ta$man loosies or feel the wrath of Mistress Karma!

[Higgins]

Take that!!!!!!!! Beautiful try to us.

I was merely referencing the depth you have in the loosies. A depth us small poor unions without franchise and NZR backing are unable to attain.

Plus, you won in the end.

[Nepia]

WTF!!! How was that straight?

[Higgins]

Hell that's frustrating. Win a high ball from a kick. Tap it back your was only to find an opposition player standing there to take it

[Nepia]

Rough penalty against Otago there.
