Hawke's Bay v Manawatu (RS)

[Yeetyaah]

Why would they even need to go upstairs for that? It's not Reiko scoring the try.

[Yeetyaah]

Great try from Toala. @Stargazer please contain yourself.

[Nepia]

Finally the Magpies get a try after a McClutchie chip kick for Toala to run slowly on to and catch, jog to the line and score.

[Nepia]

Flanders scores after a great run by Makene. Good to have an actual attacking fullback in the team this week.

[Stockcar86]

Makene so much better than Baker

[Nepia]

Try to the Poo after a nice pass by NMS.

[Nepia]

Makene in after a nice pass from McClutchie.

[Stockcar86]

Baker can wave goodbye to that 15 jersey now

[Nepia]

O'Connor in for a lucky try after not being held by the Poo defenders.

Halftime - 28 - 12 to the Pies.

[Stargazer]

Nick Briant has helped the Pooh enough for the game, I'd say. Fortunately, the Magpies didn't let the bad calls affect them. Just keep going!!

[Stargazer]

@Nepia That was the easiest of easy tries!

[Stockcar86]

Visinia has been crash ball 3 times so far. Expect him to pass on the inside next time

[Yeetyaah]

Haven't watched a whole lot of Manawatū, is Waitokia any good?

Toala has been doing hit ups as well. I think they can use those two better.

[Nepia]

Well that was an awful period of play.

[Nepia]

I think this ref is trialling for a job in the NFL - he just doesn't give a shit about attackers being shepherded by their teammates.

[taniwharugby]

that one that was ripped wasnt called as a knock on, reckon refs need to be more consistent about those calls

The one that Flanders ripped?

[taniwharugby]

@Nepia yes, well not specificall,y more a general observation...some refs call it a knock on, some dont

[Nepia]

FFS, Baker is on. His agent must be the best in the business because he clearly has a must play every game clause in his contract.
