Northland v Hawkes Bay

[Nepia]

McClutchie gets the double.

[Stockcar86]

McClutchie Nock 10-9 combo for Blues next year?

[Nepia]

Well, that's a better halftime score than we deserve.

Who's the northland coach this year? THey look heaeds up and pretty well drilled this year

John Leslie

[J77]

I'll take that lead, but that was a soft 7 we coughed up from a kickoff mistake. This game is far from sealed though, we need to keep playing..

[Stargazer]

Btw, Flanders showing his speed again. Nock only just scored that first try.

Wide open at half time. HB with some scrum dominance, Northland have made the most of their opportunities.

[Stockcar86]

How was that not called not straight

[nzzp]

Nock's pass, when he cares, is superb

[ACT Crusader]

That was a good ball by Goodhue, the gap was there.

[Stockcar86]

HB coach better not pull the starting props early - we need that scrum dominance

[Nepia]

Where is this ref from? She has an accent?

[Stockcar86]

Sounds Canadian

[Stockcar86]

Nock off WTF. That's a Foster move, subbing your best player

[Nepia]

I dislike this foreign ref right now.

[Stockcar86]

Maybe thats a Kaitaia accent...

[Duluth]

Not sure the ref can make that call? It came up in an AB test 4-5 years ago. The ruling at the time was ref getting in the way of a defender isn’t a scrum. Ref touching the ball is

Maybe it got changed?

Magpies get the try in the end. The non-try did look suspiciously too easy live, until I saw the replay.

[Stockcar86]

Lochore off. I've been very impressed by his progress this year. Doing his core job well

[Stargazer]

@Stockcar86 Yes, he's been good.
