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.

Weird that the ref lets a touchie quite far away overrule his decision when he was right there.

Nisbo mixing up Roe and Ratima ffs

Hahaha.

Chiefs better be throwing the bag at Ratima

Ffs textbook side entry bruh

So who play Waikato at home next weekend

@machpants not next weekend, I think it's Otago the week after. I might be wrong.

Jacobson brain farts and fucks up a sure turnover

That was dumb by Jacobson.

A bad time for a brain explosion by Jacobson…

McClutchie looking very crap

Dyer obstructed completely.

Haha voice of opposite of doom

Hawke's Bay collapsed their own maul there though?

You guys can have Tongia back

TBH, I just assumed you were trying to get a rise or didn't watch the first half, he's had a pretty decent game. There's a lot of players around him on the Magpies playing worse.

That was nice.

The Waikato defence collapsed, the attacking team is always going to get advantage in that situation.

Wrampling off, Smith on. Y'all win.

There is still time for Waikato, but I dont think we’ll get there. Either way I’ve enjoyed this game.

Hold on, Smith coming in? What’s this?

Wrampling looks useful.

I think you're out of back reserves. Well, uninjured ones.
