Counties Manukau v Magpies

[Stargazer]

Messy game.

[Higgins]

Hell those lineouts are messy, Nearly all of them are tap backs and hardly any two handed takes. Makes things rather tricky for Folau Fakatava trying to tidy up in the wet conditions.

[Higgins]

The way things are going we are looking miles away from banking any 4 try bonus points. Think we wiill jst have to concentrate on proctecting our lead and be satisfied with that at thisn stage.

[Stargazer]

Yep, we need two more tries for that bonus point.

It looks like Falcon is going to kick a long-distnace penalty kick! Gutsy.

[Squirrel]

What a kick!

[Higgins]

Welcome back Tiaan!!!!!!! Magnificent kick

[Stargazer]

Massive kick! Great to have Tiaan back!

[Stargazer]

Wow, Tiaan! Awesome break, beating several defenders and Fakatava scores the try. Brilliant!

[Steven Harris]

What a try ,made the trip down from West AK worth while ..Tiahn Falcons the man..!

[Stargazer]

It looks like Falcon is now playing 10 and McClutchie at fullback? Makene to the wing? Not sure.

[Higgins]

Hopefully this will see our first proper lineout drive try for the night.

[Stargazer]

@Higgins Not yet.

[Stargazer]

It looks like we're playing with two playmakers now. It's catching on.

High tackle on McClutchie. All good.

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer Caleb on the wing

[Nepia]

I almost wished I'd missed the whole thing for a good portion of this half!

[Stargazer]

C'mon boys, one more try.

[Stargazer]

Counties score a last minute try. 10 - 22 Magpies

[Stargazer]

We're in referee's time and Magpies under a warning.

[Stargazer]

Line-out close to our try line.

[Stargazer]

FT: Counties 10 - 22 Magpies

The Magpies are now certain of a home semi-final.

Counties certain of relegation, I think.
