Reserves:
16 Kianu Kereru-Symes, 17 Jason Long, 18 Joel Hintz, 19 Devan Flanders, 20 Josh Kaifa, 21 Marino Mikaele-Tuโu, 22 Zach Donaldson, 23 Ollie SapsfordNot trying to curse us, but the Magpies have been pretty lucky with injuries this year, and can still put out a great 15 with a strong bench. Apart from Falcon (injured before season) is McNicol the only possible top 23 player currently injured during the season?
@Stockcar86 Jonah Lowe would be in the top 23 as well.

Of course. My bad

No way should I have forgotten him with his performance in last years match

What a magnificent sight seeing my team walking down the stairs amongst the crowd to take the field for this game. Something essentially old fashiond almost cricket like in a way. Anyway battle commences.

I saw it as a sneaky plan by Of Plenty to try and make some our players trip before making the field.

Chase Tiatia is ripping Hawkes Bay a new one. Sheesh HB look piss poor on defence.

On defence implies there is defence.

I'm going to start ragging on the sub standard facilities to cover my anger at the start.
How can an NPC ground have players walk down from the grandstand and the coaches box is a trestle table?

-
Yep, there are high schools with better facilities than what's on offer today! Where the heck are they anyway? Whakatane?? Opotiki??
-
Looks like a 20 point wind

We are certainly off our game today. Normally a lineout five metres short of the line would almost be a certain try but without Ash Dixon it went nowhere and eventaully the ball was turned over in front of the posts and hooferd down to half way. This is not going well!

There are probably extension cords running from those laptops to a generator out the back. I hope it doesn't rain.

@Higgins noticing the fact Walker-Leawere isn't there either. He provides so much grunt in the tight five.
