Wellington v North Harbour

[Winger]

Wellington finally hold on to win a close one

[antipodean]

How did the AR and ref miss the Wellington hooker coming in from the side in that final maul?

[Chris B.]

Where was this Harbour team when they played Ta$man?

Today they've probably watched their title hopes drive off in a clown car!

[Winger]

Collins (HB) looked the good this game. Maybe deserves a start next week.

[Bovidae]

Wellington got better impact from their subs than NH. But Harbour will look back and wonder how they lost this game.

Well done to Welly to come back, even though I do think their winning try was a bit dubious.

Why?

Check Fatty Savea's push on the Harbour defender, straight push in the back, not jostling shoulder to shoulder.

@Nepia the defender intentionally shepparded in front of the player with the ball so fair try

Just watched the highlights. It looked OK to me.

The defender doesn't change his line and Fatty Savea pushes him (at 3:15 in the highlights) which he didn't need to do anyway as he would have collided with the Harbour player without the push.
