2020 Hawke's Bay club rugby

[Stargazer]

Try Jason Long. Again great work from Neria Fomai. McLeod's conversion makes it 41 - 20 to Hastings.

[Stargazer]

Try Tere Joel. Hastings lucky there, because the ref was about to give Tech a penalty try, which probably would have meant a yellow for Hastings and no need for a conversion; the Tech kicker missed the conversion.

[Stargazer]

Stupid, stupid. Fakatava sent off with a yellow for kicking away the ball. There was no need for that. Toala behaving like a child about 5 minutes ago, too. Grow up lads, we don't want to see that when you're playing for the Magpies.

[Stockcar86]

Ref and TJ guessed. Folou did not kick the ball at all. Bad call

[Stargazer]

@Stockcar86 So both the officials and commentators got that wrong?

[Stockcar86]

@Stargazer yeah spiked the ball by his feet when the ref blew his whistle and it rolled away

[Stargazer]

Fakatava back on, early.

[Number 10]

Yes I noticed that, too.

off in the 71st min, back on in the 80th.

[Stargazer]

And it's over.

FT: HRS 44 - 25 Tech

Best players according to Syms:
HRS: Fomai, Long, McLeod
Tech: Joel, Boswell-Wakefield

[Stargazer]

I just watched it back. The ref didn't see it and gave the yellow on advise from the AR.

[Stockcar86]

I would have been good for Tech to win in their centenary, but the best 2 teams are in the final. Now hoping for a good open game, with no Magpie players or prospects getting injured.

You can't actually see what happened though on the coverage as it was out of shot?

Did anyone at the ground see to confirm?

[Stockcar86]

@Nepia Yep, me. See my earlier comments

[mikey07]

@Stargazer Now you know why I disliked him playing for the Lions

[Magpie_in_aus]

I'm never too phased if prospects get injured. Their fault for wanting to join a gang...
