Internationals Spoilers: New Zealand v PNG

[Kid-Dynamite_old]

I'd be fairly comfortable in backing PNG to beat Tonga...

I'd go the other way!

I reckon Tonga would beat them!

Benji's sitting on the sideline...?

 

[Jesbass_old]

Benji's done his hamstring and is on the sideline as a precaution.

 

[Jesbass_old]

Ganson does another blunder. That pass wasn't forward.

 

[Jesbass_old]

Lucky break for us. Griffin broke the line but slipped over.

And then PNG broke through from their left and scored. So much for a white wash.

 

[Jesbass_old]

The kick is over. 22-6.

 

[Jesbass_old]

Kick off went out on the full. The second half side is not the first half side...

 

[Jesbass_old]

Penalty to NZ about 30 out.

 

[Jesbass_old]

Ian seems to have gone AWOL, leaving me to update this thread by myself. I feel like Skinny...

Perrett pushed over the sideline just shy of the corner post.

 

[Jesbass_old]

Issac Luke just smashed one of the PNG boys. Big defense from New Zealand at the moment. We're trying to rebound from our early poor start to the second half.

 

[Jesbass_old]

Issac Luke is in. 26-6 with kick to come.

 

[Jesbass_old]

Kick is wide - 26-6.

 

[Jesbass_old]

Well, Kid - regardless of who was right, one thing we agreed on is that Issac Luke is our best attacking hooker. The way he snuck out of dummy half, broke the line, and scored the try was copybook.

 

[Jesbass_old]

Luke's try and defense has woken us up. Fa'alogo's try being checked for obstruction.

 

[Jesbass_old]

That's a T-R-Y. 30-6 with kick to come.

 

[Jesbass_old]

Issac Luke's kick hits the upright. 30-6.

 

[Jesbass_old]

PNG tackled in goal. Repeat set. Vatuvei has a try ruled out from a forward pass. The last one was wrong, but this one looked right.

 

[Jesbass_old]

Phil Cooley came in with a correct call allowing PNG a repeat set when we'd initially tried to sneak away with a 20m restart, but Hohaia touched it just as it went out.

 

[Jesbass_old]

PNG knock on from the drop out.
