Vs Cowboys rd5

[Blair]

Another untimely error by Hiku. Crucial period before the break.

We're saved by bunker. Cows debutante flyer in, but Green impeded. As if Green was going to tackle him anyway! Technically though, he was denied the chance.

 

[Blair]

King in the building.

 

[Blair]

Hiku in! Off a coach-killer by Drinkwater upfield.

Luck is with us.

Sheck created that, cutting sharply left. Right-edge of Cows couldn't adjust. King was good in that attack too.

16-12, us. Three minutes left in half.

Sheck has them backpeddling, good signs in attack.

 

[Blair]

Keep. Them. Out.

 

[WellsNZ]

If Kodi played like this each week we'd be a much better team

 

[Blair]

Sheck scrambles in defence, keeps it in play.

Upfield, off the back of a penalty. Niko nails a fieldgoal with seconds left.

17-12. HT.

 

[Blair]

We start weak. Katoa loses ball on halfway, Cows scrum, race up field and score.

90 secs in. Conversion missed.

17-16. Us.

 

[Blair]

Pompey in! Niko great tap on, try assist, with Katoa in there too, with great pass to Niko.

Touch line conversion missed.

21-16.

 

[Blair]

Bugger. Cows score, 22-21.

Thirty mins left.

Ball retention should win this one. That's one of Mook's strengths.

 

[Blair]

Sheck trapped in-goal. Repeat set.

 

[Blair]

Now Cows trapped in-goal!

Repeat set, Hiku slides in, off a nice Egan kick-through from dummy-half.

We're showing relisience, it's scary!

27-22, us. A classic game unfolding.

 

[SmashEmBro]

Jeeze Hiku is rocks and diamonds haha.
He makes it interesting tho thats for sure haha.

Will be an interesting finish, Cows with 2 less on the bench, might fatigue more

 

[Blair]

Our defensive line-speed is excellent tonight. Blair is good.

 

[Matua]

Hiku with a hattrick.

Nice personal comeback.

 

[SmashEmBro]

Our defensive line-speed is excellent tonight. Blair is good.

Have to say, since the resumtion of the comp, Blair has been as good as I've ever seen him. I've been really impressed

 

[Blair]

Excellent game mgmt by Green in last ten mins.

Nice high kick on last to his winger, Feldt fumbles, Hat-trick Hiku scores!

31-22, us.

 

[Blair]

Keep building the pressure, boys! Bring it home.

11 mins to go.

 

[Blair]

Some really good post-contact metres by us. Murchie, Blair, Brown...

 

[Blair]

Lawton in! Under posts. Another great kick by Green. Mooks is a genius for not dropping him.

Bunker says...yes!

Game's ours, 35-22. We miss a sitter of a conversion though.

 

[SmashEmBro]

I have to say tho, it seems the 3rd ref is DESPERATE to take tries off us. They go backwards and forwards forever and only give it to us if they can't give it to us.

Last week with Herbert I thought it was shocking they took it off him, Herbert's try this week, and that last try just there. Seriously
