    Damn, I wish I knew this game was on - I would have been messaging my BoP mate all match. Ah well, no time like the present. 😉

    Most hated team defeated by your second most hated team, must have felt like a bitter sweet moment 😉

    Will Fucking Jordan.....again.

    Absolute first name on the team sheet. So classy.

    He's raised his level this year

    And actually passed to a supporting player (@Bones )

    Even fucking Nisbo spotted the supporting player to the right. Jordan didn't even consider it.

    Forgets the bad miss on penalty kick a few minutes earlier.

    Aj lam was badly outplayed by rona

    The new blonde look makes Lam stand out for the wrong reasons.

    So good seeing Casey going from carving up at club level to doing it NPC too.

    Him and Pledger have just gone straight in as key guys. Both them need to play big minutes.

    Those face balls from Millar are his nicest attacking moves. He has done it plenty of times with Hurley as well. Good to play to his strength with those plays.

    Hawkes Bay nowhere near their best but still good enough to find another gear when it mattered awesome team watch when they get on a roll
    Was impressed with Harbours physicality but it’s fair to say their 10 had night to forget

    huge drop off from our 1st 4 props to the 5th and 6th...

    I was starting to get a bit concerned, but our scrum got better with KSM and probably Leppien and your's got worse and that was the difference.

    We'd given a few penalties away at the start of the second half to help piggyback Northland back into contention, but then the scrum penalties eased the pressure.

    A running halfback makes a huge difference

    @Dan54 I reckon last week v Northland he forgot how fast he was when chasing that kick through 😄

    @Grooter said in Otago v Hawkes Bay:

    Magpies get the chocolates. as for my Otago well Lucas Casey needs to be starting at 7 for us from now on

    Personally would like to see a back row of Haig 6, Casey 7, Stoddard 8. It’s the most well rounded and brings the most to the set piece and ruck. Thought Toleafoa was sea gulling at the ruck far too much and doesn’t seem like a viable option at lineout. Taylor was ok at 7 but Casey is an upgrade

    @pakman said in Waikato v Wellington:

    Only based on highlights, but Numia seemed to have a good game.

    Yep he seemed back to his lively self. Carried strongly all game. Hopefully the Lions get Aumua back soon as he’s likely to play a full NPC with Wellington coming back from injury.

    @Bovidae

    A couple of mis-kicks but he seems to have good distance at least. Way too many kicks were going straight to hand without much pressure on though. Most of the contestable kicks came from Funaki

    @taniwharugby I thought the first non try called back for a forward pass was ok - backwards out of the hands. But in ugly win is a win.

    @Dan54 said in Hawkes Bay v Counties:

    @Mauss I will be interested to see if Coles gets a bit of time for Hawke Eyes too, he another kid who doesn't look bad.

    I think Will Cole is an excellent young 10, and I agree, I'd like to see him get an opportunity. But game time will be hard to come by at the Magpies, with Godfrey and McClutchie ahead of him.

    But he's a genuine first five, so it would be good to see him being developed.

    we are very fortunate to have Lio-Willie. he was instrumental in making sure Tupou Ta'eiloa had the most quiet game I've seen from him in ages

    @Crazy-Horse Runs great lines for smallish loosefoward ,thought he was the Lions most effective forward.

    Looks like a centre in the way he runs the ball.
