Yep, bad habits learnt at the Highlanders.

O'Keefe "advantage over", Counties player goes out, "ah scratch that, penalty back halfway down the field". Grrr.

[nzzp]

that head high penalty against Counties on the HB tryline looked a bit soft.

The 3rd guy in was straight around the neck.

[Nepia]

Magpies playing like they're the challengers at the moment.

[taniwharugby]

@Nepia THE HB guy was almost sitting down.

[antipodean]

Tiatia decision making coming to the fore again.

That makes it worse, he was a midget to start with. In fact he could have stayed out of the tackle and they would have got the 5m scrum.

Yep, we have two other players I'd rather have back there. It's like Kurt Baker all over again.

[Steven Harris]

Good contest thus far

[Nepia]

Counties kick a penalty, 6-7 Magpies.

Counties playing the better and smarter rugby at the moment.

[taniwharugby]

HB looking better with ball in hand, making metres with their runners moving before theybtake the ball, many of the CM players are standing still when get it, although CM do look good wide.

[antipodean]

Counties trying to lose this.

[Nepia]

Magpies in for a maul try from a lineout.

[taniwharugby]

I reckon he was gonna card someone until HB 12 told him to send him off...

CM maul d non existent

[Steven Harris]

@antipodean yep, all the way from a poor cleanout by a 7 thats played international rugby 🤦🏻

Yeah Toala should have kept his trap shut.

[Nepia]

Fomai'i in the corner after Counties stuff up their lineout.

[Steven Harris]

Game over

[Crucial]

Simply HB taking the chances offered at CM not.
I haven’t been happy with some of the calls. (That so called high shot by Roigard was bullshit) but can’t argue against HB being the better side.
