Wellington vs Otago

@Stargazer said in Wellington vs Otago:

So Dom Bird got a yellow in the 44th minute (before HT) and he's already back on in the 49th minute? Yellows aren't 10 minutes anymore? This is not the first game where I've noticed this.

Edit: I don't have another explanation than that Sky has re-set the clock on screen.

Bird had 7:50 minutes remaining at the end of the first half

@Toddy

Or was the clock set back at HT

[Stargazer]

@Higgins Ah yes, and the clock re-sets to 40 at half time.

[Winger]

Otago on top now Maybe the three games are having an impact now

[Higgins]

That was too easy. Imagine what the HB lineout drive is going to do this this mob next Saturday night.

[Grooter]

Keep going boys! what a comeback this could be

[Winger]

Otago a lineout drive try

Close game now 32-26

4 tries each. 2 penalties diff

[Winger]

All Otago. Wellington attack but get no-where

[Grooter]

Dammit bell

[Winger]

Some of these penalties against wellington are a it tough

[Winger]

Otago well on top though.

Numia just been replaced 70+ minutes after another long shift

[Higgins]

An now another wellington binning and an Otago lineout drive coming from the resultant penalty.

[Winger]

Yellow card wellington. Think wellington is done for now

[Higgins]

@Winger Maybe not, Otago botch the lineout!

[Winger]

Wellington hang on just. They kick it away a bit too much this half

3 minutes to go

[Winger]

and Wellington the win. 32-26

Excellent game. 4 tries each 3 converted. But Wellington 2 penalties

1st half all Wellington. Otago lucky to be so close at HT. 2nd half Otago on top

[Grooter]

Congrats Wellington lions.

[Winger]

I guess both teams don't get bonus points for try scored. Is it 4 tries or 3 extra tries

[Grooter]

@Winger just need 4 tries in npc

[Stargazer]

@Winger Both teams earned a 4-try bonus point; Otago also earned a bonus point for losing with less than 8 points.
