the Mitre 10 Cup preview says Buckman is being rested...
Michael Allardice (rib) and Geoff Cridge (shoulder) are the latest in a fairly packed Hawke's Bay medical ward, while Richard Buckman has been rested to allow Pasqualle Dunn a rare start at second five-eighths.

@taniwharugby They've had it wrong before. According to our local paper, Buckman was meant to start at fullback this week. I'd hardly call that resting. They say he suffered a leg injury at training this week. Although they're not flawless either, I tend to believe that more than what somebody writes for that Mitre 10 Cup website. Cridge also doesn't have a shoulder injury, but a knee injury. Out for 12 months, apparently.

@stargazer wasnt saying it was right or wrong, just thats what they said.
Pretty much sums up the quality of most of the stuff we get in the media these days, opinion and speculation.

Not long to go guys, just finished my pre-match buildup with couple of practice waves of my flag and a got my jersey tucked into my shorts. Sadly the fridge hs only a couple left in it so will have to pace myself. Surely today will be better than what we have seen for most of the season so far?

Please take note Northland RFU white numbers are almost invisible to read on a Cambridge blue jersey. In the meantime HB scored sixth tackle type try after Ihaia West grubbered it through. The Northland defender had an airshot trying to ground the ball and C Vaenga dived on it for the try After 25 minutes the score remains Northland 07 - 07 Hawkes Bay. Notably Peter Breen has fluffed two penalty kick from reasonable distance out but close to the line of the posts.

Where was the penalty for Vaega being held back after that break by West?

Hi there '86, did you catch the Bathurst classic races? There were some gorgeous cars there racing including a couple of early seventies Mustangs and some real nice early 70s Falcons, even a couple of Chargers and what looked to be VJ Valiant and another that might have been a Valiant Pacer amongst others. On the other side there were also a number of Holdens!

@stockcar86 The ref missed more offending by Northland. And also, why re-setting the scrum after scrum when Northland takes it down, and penalising the Bay after just one mistake by Long?

Been working today, so seen no tv until 1/2 hr into Magpie game

Oh dear, looked a good try in live viewing to me but definitely a knock on. However the blue player dived onto the black players legs whilst both players were sliding on the ground before reaching the ball thus could justifiably be deemed to be a penalty try in my books.

Sky can fuck off with these interviews during play

Oh well at least we have the consolation of keeping the score well below 50, not that that is too much to be chuffed about. Fortunately there is just the one more game to go and I see the HBRFU are advertising tickets for the Lowe and Chapman stands at $7.50 for that game against the 'Poo next Sunday afternoon. Can anyone recall when the last time we lost to that mob at home was?
