Someone had to be the nice guys and let them have a win.

Yay. for the Banjos!..although puts us in a deserved Dead Last!

Congrats to Southand, well deserved!

Full time: Southland 42 - 14 Counties Manukau

Not just a win for Southland; it's a BIG bonus point win for Southland.

We probably won't find out whether this is or could have been a turning point for Southland, because the draw is against them.

On Thursday, they play Taranaki away, then Auckland away and in the final round robin game, they host BoP.

Great stuff Southland. The players looked stoked.

I just skimmed through the game, great effort from Southland. A shame Southland got their win when most people were watching the RWC

At kickoff Counties would have rated their chances of catching up to Waikato. They have a couple of winnable games left, but that game has probably relegated them

@Stargazer said in Southland vs Counties:

The interest will be in who gets the wooden spoon

Currently they are a couple of points in front of Northland who have BOP, Wellington, Ta$man & Otago.
At the very least you'd think Northland should pick up a few BPs

Southland from a Waikato supporter.

@Duluth Definitely against Otago in a home game for Northland!

@Stargazer I am not so sure.

Saw bits and pieces and Stags didn’t look like a side that hadn’t won in 3 years. Excellent effort.

@ACT-Crusader But Counties certainly impersonated a side that hadn't! No thats not quite right as Southland did play pretty well.
