Nepo Laulala’s defence exposed big time ..

Reidy didn’t make much effort to get in position

How was that forward pass missed ..piss poor officiating

Seems to be a huge area of refereeing mistakes this season already

Hahaha DMac

@Yeetyaah it’s probably a time that you actually want the TMO to intervene

where did this Riley Hohepa guy come from?

He's improved a lot. I didn't see any of this in his previous 2 seasons with Counties.

@FakatavaAllBlack been around the Counties Manukau club scene for a few seasons just remembering CM’s season was cut short last year

Been around for a few years now, since maybe 2018 or 19 I think, I thought he was underrated a few seasons back, going well this year.

Not often you see Counties dominate a scrum like that. Laulala making a big impact in the scrum.

Got no issue with what the official did with the advantage, just hope every official would do the same thing ..wishful thinking me thinks

Now I want Waikato to win this, but this ref has been awful so far.

High shot by Laulala? He threw his hands up.

Hoskins bumped off badly by the Waikato 12 there

@Chris he probably won’t be the first or the or last to get bumped by Leuila..seen him do this to many players , built low to the ground

Yep he just did it to the Waikato hooker

Counties using Bok-style set up. Makes front row less stable and when Nepo went forward couldn't get feet under him.

Leuila bumped Papalii as well ..
