Counties Manukau v Magpies

[Higgins]

Oh dear, here comes a red card for Black 6

[Higgins]

Mybe not, it was a complete cartwheel and not a pile driver

[Stargazer]

Yellow it is. Not happy with how we're going.

Toala failing his HIA isn't helping. Hope he'll be able to play next week.

[Stargazer]

HT: Counties 3 - 12 Magpies

[Nepia]

Da Fuq ... when did this start????

[Stargazer]

@Nepia The usual time. 7.35pm NZT.

[Nepia]

@Stargazer said in Counties Manukau v Hawke's Bay:

@Nepia The usual time. 7.35pm NZT.

Daylight savings screwed me.

[Stargazer]

At least, 9 minutes to go with 14 men, while Mikaele-Tu'u sits on the naughty chair. Hope we can keep Counties scoreless in that time.

[Higgins]

@Number10 When you read this take it as a reminder that you have not done your tips for the bronze medal playoff in KPs tipping competition. Damned unlucky to get rolled by just the single point by the Bush last week in the semi so the bronze is the best we can hope to bank this season.

[Stargazer]

Our scrum is not going well. And all at the TH side. Looking at you, Hintz!

Hope we can keep on stealing Counties' line-outs.

[Higgins]

@Stargazer It doesn't seem to matter who is throwing in we seem to be winning the ball almost every lineout so far. Long may that situation continue.

[Stargazer]

4 minutes to go on that YC.

[Steven Harris]

@Higgins yes,the misty rain has just stopped

[Higgins]

ANy reason why Ollie Sapsford is on so early?

[Stargazer]

@Higgins Because Danny Toala failed his HIA.

[Stargazer]

Now Sapsford off (also for a HIA?) and replaced by Falcon.

[Higgins]

Oh thanks for that, I hadn't really noticed he was missing. Isn't Tiann Falcon in the reserves as well. One would have thought he would be the first one on ahead of Sapsford. Presumable his fitness levels must not be high enoough to see him play out much more than about half an hour at best at this stage.

[Stargazer]

Even with Royal now at hooker, the Magpies steal another line-out.

[Higgins]

Even chaning the Counties hooker has made no difference with another three wins againast the throw being recorded since he came on.

[Stargazer]

Still, with Royal on, Counties look stronger.
