Counties Manukau v Hawke's Bay

[Steven Harris]

ETS for all his X Factor is poor under the high ball

[Stockcar86]

Hintz continuing his incredible scrum improvement from last year

[Stargazer]

@Stockcar86 Our scrum is so dominant; why is the ref so slow to award a penalty?

[Stockcar86]

Lets hope our starting props can do 60-70 minutes

[Stargazer]

Please, bring on Tyrone!

[Stockcar86]

No arms in that tackle?

[Stargazer]

Ref totally misses an illegal hit on Flanders.

[Stockcar86]

rubbish call he ran into the back of Tuituvaki

[Stargazer]

IWL on for Parsons.

[Stockcar86]

Ref missed knock on there

[Higgins]

In the absence of any previous scoreline and just in case there is anyone other than me @stargazer and @stockcar86 taking the slightest interest in the game five minutes into the second half it remains at the halftime score of Counties 14 - 13 Hawkes Bay. Where are you @Nepia?

[Stockcar86]

I'm not sure I want new props coming on for a scrum on our own 5m line

[Stargazer]

Our entire frontrow now replaced.

[Stargazer]

Let's see what the new frontrow can do in the scrum.

[Stargazer]

Hmm.

[Stockcar86]

Time for Fakatava to break the game open

[Stargazer]

Fakatava, Tiatia and Makene on for Weber, Grigg and Godfrey. Who's our captain now?

[Stockcar86]

How was that not a scrum penalty

[Stargazer]

Damn.

[Stargazer]

Our baby Magpie (Patrick Tuifua) has come on for his debut. Kaifa off.
