Hawke's Bay v Waikato

Higgins

@ARHS said in Hawke's Bay v Waikato:

Surprisingly weak and inexperienced team from Waikato.

But no Mcwhannell.

I think he always unavailable for the first few games. I wasn't expecting two young, inexperienced locks to be selected in his absence though.

Think you will find the HB pairing is equally inexperienced so that equals that situation out.

Duluth

B Sullivan with the early try

Waikato have had all the ball

Bones

Roe needs to head to the crusaders.

Duluth

15-7 Waikato after 30mins

Waikato have had a massive amount of ball. 108-15 tackles. Waikato prob should’ve forced more points. It should make the final quarter hard for HB though

Stargazer

We've not had much ball, thus far.

Stargazer

I think we need to bring on Thompson early ...

Duluth

HB lineout has been poor

Stockcar86

Kereru-Symes having a shocker. Thompson must come on as hooker at half-time

Stargazer

@Stockcar86 Not a single good line-out tonight. Terrible.

Stargazer

Cridge has come on for Allen.

Stockcar86

Makene has been a step up from Godfrey so far. Much more accurate

Bones

Makene is killing it. Has he bulked up quite a bit?

Lowe is rather pedestrian even at this level.

Stockcar86

Scrum is way better with Hintz on

Stargazer

Did anyone see Allen get injured? Did he go off for a HIA?

Can't imagine him being seen as the problem in our line-out. That's all on KKS.

I think two of Waikato's tries came after two of our bad line-outs.

Well, I don't think he has cut his hair, does that count?
