From the Magpies at least.

Think they missed a forward pass in that try though.

[Yeetyaah]

Classic home-grown refs

[taniwharugby]

@nepia were 2 YC offences by HB after it too

[Steven Harris]

@nepia all those officiating decisions starting to mount up , forward inside pass from the try ..on saying that some of the magpies passing not great under pressure

I'm surprised the ref didn't look at those TBH. I guess he's decided not to call anything.

@nepia can hear the hate in Smithys commentary though

Whanganui and Manawatu raised Smithy is like those uber religious born again Christians in his support of the Magpies.

@taniwharugby smithy has lost the plot when it comes to impartiality , yes we could see it was forward ..
Hawkes Bay midfield defence paper thin at the minute

It's like they've been told not to tackle Fai'anganuku and Nankivell. (I think I butchered both those spellings).

[Nepia]

We needed that try on halftime.

[Toddy]

Ref should've reversed that penalty. How many Magpies pushed the the No5's head into the ground. What a bunch of grubs.

[Yeetyaah]

@nepia I jumped on Hawkes Bay @$4 , they are a 2nd half team and have that decent wind behind them ..

I don't ever want to get my hopes up too much ...

[Number 10]

Good news for Highlanders fans, Folau Fakatava running around during halftime.

[Nepia]

WTF, Ta$man were throwing not straights all first half and now he finally calls one - against the Magpies.

We get a penalty from the scrum though.

[taniwharugby]

Really quick calling the ruck pen one time , ignores it next time

[antipodean]

Does this ref have something else he'd rather be doing?

[Nepia]

Renton is on. Hopefully he remembers where he's from and has a shocker.
