[Stargazer]

Great game from big Gus Brown; great impact from Max Ratcliffe; Tyrone Chrystal was good and CJ Mienie the best of the backs. Joel Russell and Luke Thomas (?) good, too. Some of the backs (have no team sheet, so don't know who they were).

[Nepia]

Palmy infringing like they're the Crusaders last night.

[Nepia]

Try to Hastings.

[Stargazer]

One of Palmy's players sent to the sin-bin.

Hastings scores!! Their fullback goes over! Finally.

The try is converted.

13 - 7 Palmy.

[Stargazer]

Hastings line-out. Can't see where on the field they are.

[Nepia]

Looks like the weather has settled as Palmy are clearing from their end pretty easily.

[Stargazer]

Now a Palmy line-out at the same spot.

[Stargazer]

Great steal from Hastings. I wish they'd stop kicking possession away. Palmy kick it out on the full, fortunately.

[Stargazer]

Hastings line-out. Driving maul, but Hastings penalised for obstruction.

Another B/S maul penalty. I just sent an angry text to my mate - who's a referees manager in Palmy.

[Stargazer]

Hastings back on attack. Damn it stop kicking the ball away.

Again fortunately, Palmy penalised.

Hastings scrum.

[Stargazer]

Pick n go. Now a Hastings penalty. They're going again.

Come on boys!

Sheesh, I'm getting more of a Chiefs vibe with all these pick and goes and no try.

And as I write that they score.

[Stargazer]

Cross kick, it was close, but no try.

Penalty Hastings ... There they go again. They deserve that try.

Yess, try time!!

[Stargazer]

Please, make that conversion ...

[Stargazer]

Not even close.

13 - 12 Palmy.

[Stargazer]

Dumb mistake, kicking the ball out on the full from outside your 22.

Palmy line-out in Hastings' 22.

Palmy on attack now.

[Stargazer]

Hastings' clearing kick. They really should stop doing that.

Palmy knock on. Hastings kick the ball away again. Palmy penalty on their 22.

[Stargazer]

The commentary is biased as.

[Stargazer]

Hastings line-out. Still in their half.
