HIA for that surely

Nepia

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

Yeetyaah

How was that a knock on lmao

Nepia

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

Yeetyaah

Fuck this is an entertaining game

KiwiMurph

Great tackle by Dyer on Toala.

Nepia

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

Yeetyaah

@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.

Daffy Jaffy

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.

Yeetyaah

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

Nepia

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

Yeetyaah

Nisbo mixing up Roe and Ratima ffs

Yeetyaah

Chiefs better be throwing the bag at Ratima

Yeetyaah

Ffs textbook side entry bruh

So who play Waikato at home next weekend

Yeetyaah

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

Yeetyaah

Jacobson brain farts and fucks up a sure turnover 🤦

Nepia

That was dumb by Jacobson.

Donsteppa

A bad time for a brain explosion by Jacobson…

McClutchie looking very crap

Yeetyaah

Dyer obstructed completely.

Yeetyaah

Hawke's Bay collapsed their own maul there though?

Yeetyaah

You guys can have Tongia back

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

Yeetyaah

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?

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

Yep, but I think it was too late to swap him out. He was running earlier but didn't look fully fit.

Haha voice of opposite of doom

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.

Not really concentrating on game, is in the background. But I kept catching him being indecisive.

Making my way through a collection of beers so, I'm probably talking shit

So we sent on an injured player who is pretty average when he is fit? That’s creative.
