[taniwharugby]

Scratchy start all round...Hawkins call 50-50

[kev]

And they score. Body positions too high. Average.

[kev]

@taniwharugby they need to do little things well.

[shark]

Ben Wyness: another off the CBHS 10 production line...

[taniwharugby]

@kev need to get their hands on the ball and settle down

[taniwharugby]

We looking like a pre-season match

[kev]

@taniwharugby just giving away possession.

[taniwharugby]

So passive everywhere

[taniwharugby]

Gotta say that is a shit call, no matter what the rules say, Booth twists under and wins a pen

[Stargazer]

What on earth does Sam Nock have on his head? There's a whole new level of bleaching, geez.

[kev]

@taniwharugby full of errors.

[taniwharugby]

Man Ranger looks to have lost alot of pace.

Made hard work of that, but good try

[taniwharugby]

Hawkins should have been quicker

[taniwharugby]

Surely 8 green should get a YC? Infringed but as always, try means you ignore it

[Duluth]

Manawatu getting smashed by the ref now

[taniwharugby]

Pen advantage and 2 more pens and still nothing after a warning

[kev]

Scott Gregory full of errors .

[shark]

I can't tell Gregory and Robinson apart. They all look the same to me.

[Duluth]

Gregory makes too many errors to be fullback. He should be a winger at this stage of his career
