Counties Manukau v Hawke's Bay

[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.

[Tim]

How has Sotutu gone?

[Steven Harris]

@Tim superb ,his workrate has been very strong

[Steven Harris]

This been like a game nobody wants to win

[Stargazer]

IWL injured. Not looking good.

[Steven Harris]

Thats a seriously dumb penalty ,right up there with the BOP player v Auckland last weekend

[Higgins]

Will we rediscover our famous lineout maul drive that mysteriously disappeared last season?

[Stockcar86]

Unbelievable. Thanks ref

[Higgins]

Yeeeeeeees - penalty try for the win

[Grooter]

Yes boys!

[Steven Harris]

Wow ,full credit to the official for making the call ,some would have bottled that

[Nepia]

@Higgins I've been watching.

Ballsy decision by the ref.

I'll take this win too, two shit performances and two wins. Who would have thought.

[Stargazer]

Counties had that coming. Ill-discipline all game, often not penalised. Justice has been served.

I'd rather had a normal try though.
