Magpies v Tasman

[Nepia]

WTF, yellow card for that?

It is tiddlywinks!

[Higgins]

It bounced up after hitting him hard sllightly below the shoulder bone

[Higgins]

Did you spot that diving shoulder chrage clean out in the maul there by the red five Nepia?

[Steven Harris]

Dumb from Flanders..they had done so well to clear from a 7 man scrum

Nah I missed it, clearly I'm not watching intently enough.

[Higgins]

@Nepia He dived into the players lying on the ground leading cleary with his left shoulder.

[Nepia]

Well worked move for the try there from the Chequebook Mako$.

[Steven Harris]

Very good set move from the visitors..bugger...!,I really believe this is going to be one of these games where the magpies need to stay in the fight until Crocket and Lomax depart ..

[Steven Harris]

Magpies needed a much better chase..that was a real opportunity missed

Just looking at the team lists I look to have marginally the better front row bench, touch wood! Your guy Waa looks to be the weak link at the moment.

[Steven Harris]

@Higgins Waa is no May as a scrummager ..

[Higgins]

Pity the tighthead was not binned as then we could run on Ben May as the replacement.

[Higgins]

As I type that May is indeed subbed on for Waa. Hopefully that will shore things up a bit fpor this defensive scrum five metres short of my try line.

[Higgins]

And the Ta$man front row goes down but no penalty.......................

[Magpie_in_aus]

if May drops in this scrum will he get binned?

[Nepia]

Ta$man scrum collapses and no penalty to us.

[Steven Harris]

@Higgins great call from the coaching staff to pull.

[Nepia]

Too many Faigaanuku's!

[Bovidae]

Christie takes some poor options at halfback.

Yep, I'm enjoying his play.
