Lindenmuth clearly offside at that ruck. How is that not a penalty try?

The Manawatū Turbos have made nine changes to the starting XV for their round four clash with Counties Manukau in Pukekohe on Saturday. A host of players will be given the opportunity to impress as the side look to benk their first win of the season. Upfront Chris Eves and Sam Stewart have been promoted to the starting side after helping to solidfy the scrum from the bench last week with both Tietie Tuimauga and Siua Maile moving back to the bench. Liam Mitchell returns from injury joining Micaiah Torrance-Read in the second row with Teofilo Paulo sliding to the bench. Brayden Iose is out with a knee injury so Tyler Laubscher shifts to No 8 with TK Howden getting his first career start, joining Shamus Hurley-Langton on the side of the scrum. Ben Wyness returns the No 10 jersey in place of Stewart Cruden and Josiah Maraku is back at centre in place of Nigel Ah Wong. There are changes on both wings with Ben Werthmuller returning from injury and Te Rangatira Waitokia given the start in his blazer game. The bench also sees the return from injury of Johnny Galloway who has made a rapid recovery from injury after looking likely out for the season after the preseason -
@Stargazer said in Counties v Manawatu:
Why would you kick it out before the hooter?
Preconceived. Was probably standing there thinking 'if we kick this out we've won' then got passed the ball.
Slightly forgivable when you've lost 12 in a row in front of your friends and family.
Hopefully, like the Stags, that's a little monkey off the back.
Game really improved once Kerr went off.

Entertaining game. Unfortunate finish for the Turbos with that attack incorrectly called in touch.
Lineouts again a lottery for both sides.
Who is the last forward to score a hat trick in the NPC?
