Pick and go. Accidental offside, and Palmy gets the penalty. They're back to 15 players.

@Stargazer You are right must be over half a dozen going the way of the visitors now, and thats not counting those that were cancelled out by gaining "advantage" from nor multiple penalties being signalled before the original one being whistled. A real change from what you can expect when playing down there!

[Stargazer]

The pick and go goes well, and it's a try to captain Ta$man Soanai-Oeti!

But not enough to stop Napier rolling over for their second try!

[Stargazer]

Luke Thomas misses the conversion.

0 - 12 to Napier after almost 20 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Hmm not sure the ref got that right. It looked like the Napier player had a knee on the ground, but he says it was a maul.

[Stargazer]

Palmy on attack now. For the first time in Napier's half.

[Higgins]

@Stargazer Don't argue, you take anything you can get from a 'Poo referee.

[Stargazer]

That looked to be a good attack from Palmy, but they knock the ball on. There seemed to be a forward pass in there as well.

[Stargazer]

Napier should have gone for a clearing kick; instead they try to run the ball out and the ball carrier is pushed into touch. Palmy line-out. Napier get the ball back and kick it far into Palmy's half where it goes into touch.

[Stargazer]

I can't read the numbers on Napier's backs anymore.

[Stargazer]

Another penalty to Napier.

[Stargazer]

Not sure why Palmy got that penalty, but they go for a scrum because their line-out hasn't been going well.

[Stargazer]

Palmy looks stronger in the scrum than Napier, although they're not pushing straigh at the LH side.

[Stargazer]

Palmy on attack again; back in Napier's half.

[Higgins]

Thirty five phases and still not enough of an advantage for the confusing penalty signalled in favour of the home side.

[Stargazer]

Advantage Palmy.

Palmy knock on. That advantage lasted long and they made many metres.

[Stargazer]

Palmy again going for the scrum at about midway Napier's half.

[Stargazer]

Penalty to Napier!
The kick doesn't cross the touchline and Palmy go for a run again.

[Stargazer]

Bad pass from the Palmy player and Joel Russell picks it up. Palmy then offend again and it's a penalty to Napier. Another line-out, close to Palmy's 22.
