Counties Manukau v Magpies

Yeah always a hard place to go to and win, so to do so is a good effort. Tough next week against Ta$man, but it's at home and there mindset may be on their semi final and rest some of their top players. The Bay on the other hand need to get all the momentum they can behind them, so barring injuries field a full strength team and give it hell.

Not sure how the Magpies will approach next week. By my reckoning we are just seven points ahead of the BoP (who have a game in hand) and two of the lesser performing teams left to play ('Poo at home and Southland away) so looking a reasonable chance of getting ten points. We will just have to front up and take Ta$man down at McLean Park next Saturday afternoon and the reward of five points will ensure home advantage for the playoffs. Missing the bonus point tonight could well come back to bite us as there is no way we can be seen to be supporting the 'Poo to help us out this round is there!
