Counties v Southland

[Stargazer]

The ref is Fraser Hannon. Is this his first NPC game? Never heard of him before.

[Grooter]

was watching the all whites so what was Southland's red card for?

[Stargazer]

@FakatavaAllBlack One of those headclash incidents. Blood was streaming off Hayden Michaels' face. He looked red and received red.

Head clash. Michaels was the tackler so gets the punishment, as well as a blood nose an sore head.

The red card is unfortunate for Southland in that they looked to have a chance to win this game, were ahead on the score board, and now they're behind again, with a man in the bin for 20 minutes.

And now further behind

19-10

I think Malimali has done enough for a super contract somewhere. Finished a good try, 19-10 ahead. Counties need a bonus point win today.

[Grooter]

MaliMali I would rather him at the landers than those Waikato wingers to be honest

[mikedogz]

An important bonus point try for Counties. 26 to 13 lead.

[Winger]

Costly red card period for Southland

[mikedogz]

A time wasting penalty against our half back at the back of the ruck.

[Stargazer]

Southland now back to 15 players.

[Winger]

15 vs 15 again now

62 minutes

[Winger]

Southland score

26-20 with just over 10 minutes left

[mikedogz]

Counties need to be careful here, back to a 6 point lead.

[Winger]

Southland on top now. Big turnaround

[Winger]

26-25 with conversion to come

[Grooter]

Yes!! Come on the Stags

[Winger]

27-26 Southland 7 minutes to go
