Hawke's Bay v Canterbury

[Winger]

Its all HB at present. just looking far too good but making too many unforced errors

But finally they score. 10-0 HB

[Bones]

Graphics department don't know the rules. They have Hawkes up as "BAY".

Not enjoying the refs turnover interpretation. Players are resting their hands on the ground and he's blowing penalties in their favour.

Not sure I agree with his interpretation with the mauls either.

A maul just went forwards, sideways, the other sideways, then forwards - and he called "that's one".

[taniwharugby]

@Nepia happens all the time at present, reffing of stationary mauls is poor.

[Bones]

Fakatava could work on his decision making.

I want him to work on his haircut first though.

We can't all be style icons like you bro.

[Stargazer]

We should have put more points on Canterbury, but the Magpies are looking good thus far.

[Steven Harris]

The reverse pass from Fakatava is such a low percentage play, how often have you actually seen that work..?, and makes it even worse., there’s a good chance your gonna be isolated..just trying to think of the last time a Canterbury team was kept to nil at halftime

[Winger]

Good try Canterbury

But dumb play from Cridge

[Bones]

Hawkes Bay have a chance to get back in the game? Ummm... good one Dagg. They're leading.

[antipodean]

This ref isn't terribly consistent in his adjudications at the breakdown.

Number 2 on side and trimmed on top is high fashion.

My main issue with him is he often doesn't give the attacker a chance to place the ball before awarding a penalty to a defender (this has been going both ways). I guess at least he's consistent.

[Winger]

Rakete-Stones gives away another penalty

He's about 60% there then eh.

[Bones]

Great work Flanders.

[Bones]

Flanders again! We have some brilliant young 6/8's coming through.

[Bones]

Ref calls use it. 7 seconds go by, Canterbury pick up the ball.

[antipodean]

He's taking the piss with the mauls. Red four falls to ground, gets back up and dusts himself off, rejoins on the side a couple of metres in front of the ball carrier.

Maul is going nowhere for about an hour, play on...

[Nepia]

Does Izzy remember he actually used to play for the Magpies? He sounds like he's the Canterbury hype man.
