Waikato v Hawke's Bay

[Crucial]

That was reminiscent of DMac/SBW at their best.

[Grooter]

tit for tat

[Grooter]

James Tucker!

That was a B/S penalty, the ref is going to have to call everything now.

Soft D, good try though by Waikato.

[Crucial]

Value of taking on the line. Disrupts the defensive pattern

That how it’s ruled now (unless you’re a NH ref)

Sheesh, why do the Magpies send out the english as a 2nd language dude out to do the halftime interview?

@Bovidae Was gonna say Ah Sue had played for years for Linwood. Surprised to see him there but well done to him after many years of toil in club rugby down here.

[Nepia]

Waikato lucky not to get two cards there.

Toala in.

[Stockcar86]

It feels like goal kicking could be the decider in this game

[Nepia]

Great try to Waikato from the kick off.

Excellent example of playing a deep set backline to counter a rush D
Runners had time to get speed going and defence had to halt out wide or open a gap.

[Yeetyaah]

This ref can't spot forward passes

[Nepia]

Great defence by Waikato, but Magpies seem too patterned at the moment.

[Yeetyaah]

Offside?

[Crucial]

Hopefully this Ratima and DMac combo works well. Could be excellent for the Chiefs

[Yeetyaah]

How many more forwards passes to go unnoticed lmao
