Hawke's Bay v Counties Manukau

[Higgins]

But I bet he gets the school he went to right!

[Higgins]

Over to you Stargazer to describe that Jonah Lowe try
Hawkes Bay 15 - 12 Counties-Manakau after fifty minutes

[Nepia]

Is there anyone else who can kick conversions?

[Higgins]

To be fair all the three tries have been scored widesh and the sea breeze does seem to be a bit stronger than usual.

[Nepia]

Counties in again. Just a lot of poor defence from the Magpies.

[kiwimatrix]

Gees they are struggling at the moment, hopefully the subs can give them a lift.

[Higgins]

A 20 metre lineout drive is a thing of beauty, at least it is whem your team is the one doing it. Replacement halfback Fakatava scores as a result of that

[Stockcar86]

Fakatava looking great

[Higgins]

Take the shot, we already have the four try bonus

[Higgins]

On second thought another lineout drive try is an appealing prospect, or was until a poor throw in by the replacement hooker

[Nepia]

22 all, really should have gone for the penalty, although with the way Falcon is kicking the line out was probably the percentage play.

[Higgins]

Take the kick this time please

[Nepia]

What a kick by Fakatava, Weber better not be injured too much this year or he might lose his place.

[Nepia]

Try saving tackle from Tian Falcon!

[Higgins]

Phew, Ledger nailed in the corner by Falcon saving a certain try

HB 25 - 22 Counties with four minutes to play

[Nepia]

How is a guy tackling the ball carrier at the back of the maul 'fine'?

[Nepia]

Counties in for a try. They've been too dangerous with the ball the last few minutes.

[Higgins]

Did any of those last two passes look forward to anyone other than me?

@nepia Fakatava looks class. I hope the Canes have signed him to a long term deal.

I doubt it, haven't they got that guy Carlos Price all locked in?
