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.

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?

@nepia D'Angelo Leuila.
I thought he was a front rower and then he took the sideline kick.
Waikato nearly in.
@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.
@nepia said in Hawke's Bay v Waikato (RS):
WTF. I thought the Magpies were under a penalty advantage from the end of the maul then?
Yeah the ref called advantage over when territory wise they were in the same spot as when he said advantage. Bad error.

Fuck this is an entertaining game
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.
Weird that the ref lets a touchie quite far away overrule his decision when he was right there.
@machpants not next weekend, I think it's Otago the week after. I might be wrong.
