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.

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

14-12 to Waikato.

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

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

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

HIA for that surely

@kiwimurph you'd think so eh.

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

How was that a knock on lmao

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

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

Fuck this is an entertaining game

Great tackle by Dyer on Toala.

WTF. I thought the Magpies were under a penalty advantage from the end of the maul then?

@nepia yeah I thought so as well.

Yeah the ref called advantage over when territory wise they were in the same spot as when he said advantage. Bad error.

I'm not finding it entertaining at all. I fear I'm going to ruin both my laptop and TV when I throw the former at the latter in frustration.

A great tackle by Dyer on Toala in that final play. He looked skinned for all money but found a burst of speed to make the tackle or the try was on.

Nothing to lose for me I suppose, I have no expections for Waikato anymore so seeing them play this well is entertaining.
