I think it's free - sponsors paid for tickets.

@Nepia people still need to go though!!

I think they do better giving people free tickets as opposed to saying it's free

Nepia

Jesus, are things that bad up north that people wouldn't go to a free match.

Sweet, angry blonde Maori boy Hoeata gives up a penalty.

@Nepia well it was free for kids in Kaikohe last week, and there was only about 1000 there.

That would be all the kids on Kaikohe wouldn't it?

Stockcar86

Give us that for the one they stole last week from Funaki

taniwharugby

balance of probability you'd say he had to have touched the grass, but the evidence is inconclusive he got it down to me

nakosi

that was 1000% a try

Nepia

Why did we have to use that scrum ball? It was stable.

The fix is in already.

taniwharugby

@Nepia reckon you were probably lucky he didnt give them the ball after the first scrum, went past 90 before it went up

referees are the real problem of modern rugby nowadays.

I must have blinked my one eye when that happened.

Nepia

Dixon needs to tell the ref they're driving straight up in the scrums to get it into his head.

Hopefully Hoeata stays on
