Counties v Waikato

[Bovidae]

@ARHS Yeah, a couple of debutants and no L Jacobson, Johnstone, Dyer or Ratima. Good to see Norris available again.

@ARHS said in Counties v Waikato:

@Bovidae surprised to see a second string combination named against a Counties team with their internationals back. Counties should be too strong - unless Dmac provides some magic.

Nah. Reasonably even. Apart from those three guys our lot are mostly a notch below.

One News came out to training yesterday and got an understanding of what #prideinthehoops is all about..

[ARHS]

@Bovidae Very keen to see how Kemara goes. Looks a special talent. And good to see Norris back. At second look the Waikato bench looks extremely strong and should bring them home if opening pack hold up OK against 7 internationals pack from Steelers.

Counties looking pretty sharp.

Great try to Togiatama.

[Steven Harris]

Great play from CM ..patient and accurate

[Steven Harris]

How was that forward pass missed ..piss poor officiating

[Duluth]

Counties no8 looks good

[Steven Harris]

Nepo Laulala’s defence exposed big time ..

[Duluth]

Reidy didn’t make much effort to get in position

[Yeetyaah]

Seems to be a huge area of refereeing mistakes this season already

[Chris]

Hahaha DMac

[Steven Harris]

@Yeetyaah it’s probably a time that you actually want the TMO to intervene

[Grooter]

where did this Riley Hohepa guy come from?

He's improved a lot. I didn't see any of this in his previous 2 seasons with Counties.

[Steven Harris]

@FakatavaAllBlack been around the Counties Manukau club scene for a few seasons just remembering CM’s season was cut short last year

[Yeetyaah]

Been around for a few years now, since maybe 2018 or 19 I think, I thought he was underrated a few seasons back, going well this year.

Not often you see Counties dominate a scrum like that. Laulala making a big impact in the scrum.

[Steven Harris]

Got no issue with what the official did with the advantage, just hope every official would do the same thing ..wishful thinking me thinks

[Yeahtheboys]

Now I want Waikato to win this, but this ref has been awful so far.
