Hawke's Bay v Waikato (RS)

[Yeetyaah]

Smith not starting, copped an injured ankle. Leuila has taken his spot.

[Nepia]

Magpies score in the corner from a maul drive.

Whaitari (the touchie) hasn't been skipping any meals.

[Yeetyaah]

Probable try butchered by shit handling. Waikato are here.

[Nepia]

This is a scrappy game.

Ref just gave Waikato an extra 5 to 10m on a penalty because he let the advantage go on.

Waikato score from the lineout maul.

[Nepia]

Toala in after a long build up and great run by Fomai.

[Yeetyaah]

Roe off. He looked alright but obviously something's wrong. Ratima does a better job anyway imo.

The games probably running about 3 minutes over due to the stoppages for him.

Who's the tubster in 22?

[Yeetyaah]

@nepia D'Angelo Leuila.

[Yeetyaah]

Ratima makes an instant impact

@nepia D'Angelo Leuila.

I thought he was a front rower and then he took the sideline kick.

Waikato nearly in.

[Nepia]

Coombes-Fablings scores in close after O'Connor falls off he tackle.

14-12 to Waikato.

[KiwiMurph]

O'Connor won't like watching that on review.

[Nepia]

The Magpies appear to have decided their game plan is 7s.

[Yeetyaah]

Jesus there's some heavy contact holy shit. I'm feeling sore just watching it.

[KiwiMurph]

HIA for that surely

[Yeetyaah]

@kiwimurph you'd think so eh.

[Nepia]

FFS, Nisbett can't tell any of the Magpies players apart. It's lucky the Canes don't select any of them.

[Yeetyaah]

How was that a knock on lmao

Makes up for the Dyer penalty as the was in the side the entire time.

[Nepia]

I assume the Magpies are going to get a bollocking at halftime. They're playing like headless chooks.
