Canterbury v Hawkes Bay

[Higgins]

@Duluth There have been a few this season going my way even lookng through my one eye.

[Higgins]

Yellow card against The Bay openside. At this rate and with hoped for consistency this could be a record number of cards in an NPC game and it instantaneously leads to Canterbury 05 - 10 HB after about 25 minutes

Deliberate infringements so worth a card. Kicking out at a player like that could have earned a card by itself.

[Higgins]

Was that a push against the HB defender?

[Higgins]

Indeed it was so the try is rightly disallowed. No yellow card for it though, even though it was described as "foul play".

[Higgins]

Rakete-Stones held up over the line right on half time with the margin still being eight points. I doubt that will be enough, but you just never know....................

[Winger]

13 - 5 HB at HT. Is it enough with the wind Canterbury will have in the 2nd half

Only watched for last 5 minutes but HB scum was holding up well enough. One area I thought Canterbury would have a big advantage

HB needed this try after a bad mistake by Canterbury. 20-5 might be enough with this wind

[Higgins]

@Winger At least playing into the wind does favour you when it blows lineout throws down your side.

Good defense HB

[Nepia]

WTF was Weber doing at the penalty?

[taniwharugby]

@Nepia not liking the wind for kicking...woulda been fine if mcclutchie had gone for the line

[Winger]

13-8. Cnaterbury close the gap

[Higgins]

Olly Sapsford partially redeeming himself with a deserved try HB 18 - 8 Canterbury Lolani VIsinia about to be replaced by Nick Grigg grrrrrr

[Winger]

VG try HB. 18-8

[Higgins]

Early tackle, surely that's foul play and a penalty try with luck he says with my very one eyed view

Yellow card only. But Canterbury lucky it wasn't a penalty try as well

[Higgins]

It is for the former and Canterbury dodge a bullet by it not being seen my way in the latter. You can just imagine @Stargazer eloquently agreeing with me on this one

Try to Brad Weber anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Canterbury 08 - 25 Hawkes Bay after the McClutchie conversion, about 20 minutes left
