The ghost of Mt Smart.

How many in team have played there?
Won't be any wheels left on the joint after it been left abandoned that long!

 

[Philip_Smith007]

SJ Pass goes to ground.
AFB drops ball in tackle. Then 6 again for ruck infringement.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Dragons in again.
Protest from Warriors about Debelin in line, but SJ made the decision to go in on him.

0-12

 

[JJ]

More things change the more they stay the same….

 

[Alan Johnson]

I don’t think I’m emotionally ready for this.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Dragons to keen, penalised for inside the 10m on our 15m

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Last tackle pass goes to Vailea from Egan, missed chip and injured in process. Bad call.
Dragins finally cough one up on their 30m

 

[Alan Johnson]

Looks they’re using the last tackle playbook from 2021

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Wow.
Terrible set finished with DWZ chipping in goal, Dragons could have taken out but leave it and turns in for DWZ to score.

4-12

 

[Alan Johnson]

Fullback hands us a try.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

No one with AFB great break between wood and Debelin.
Shit end to set, Nikorima passed rather than kick.
AFB penalised for crusher.

All grounds, particularly old ones, deteriorate quite quickly when they aren't used.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Bird place ball in front of Aitken. Ref calls lost ball. Challenged and Aitken kicks placed ball. Challenge successful. Penalty starts on our 30m.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

SJ forces ball out in tackle.

 

[Blair]

Dragons are sloppy too. We'll be in the game at the break.

 

[Blair]

Oh, we're playing against the wind? There's some more hope.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Post contact meters must be in the negatives for everyone but AFB

 

[Philip_Smith007]

6 again for Dragons. Ruck infringement

 

[Philip_Smith007]

6 more for us.

 

[Blair]

Egan in!
