Hawkes Bay v Tasman

it does make you wonder when HB were playing as well as they did, why they then shut up shop and play the clock down you run the risk of exactly that happening.

Game worthy of 2 unbeaten sides

Congrats @Chris-B your foreign backs outplayed our foreign backs on the night.

Think he'll remember that kick for the rest of his life.

In the 80's and 90's, that would have been "never paying for a beer ever again" territory.

A kick that his grandkids will be talking about.

Love seeing the young’uns in the crowd firing up after that kick.

@Canes4life Wouldn’t it be ironic if we won it off Ta$man then lost it to Hawkes Bay in 3 weeks time

@taniwharugby For some reason Coxon played the whole game.

What a kick to win it. Mabey could have penalised HB for sealing off at the end prior to the final penalty.

Agree. But perhaps Mabey was wanting to add to the drama for it to be the last play

Shit to think I used to watch him plat 1st XV rugby in Aus. He was Southport school boy!
That was a good shield challenge even if stuffed up my picks, and Naki's shield challenge!

I love a shield challenge!

Don’t see why you do an interview. Just hand him the mic and let him speak.

I can see that happening aye. I think we’ll be sending a B team down to Otago on Wednesday now.

@Canes4life Most definitely I think it would’ve been the case anyway regardless.

Campbell Parata's kick up there with Mark Milne's try!

That was a totally fucking stupid penalty given away by the captain!

Dice

Hawke's Bay needed to keep working their way towards the sideline at the end, so even if they gave away a penalty, the kick would've been a lot more difficult to make, especially for a left footer.
