S4, Res1: Nippers vs. Squids (vBookie)

Looking good for the Nippers, starting to turn their possession/territory dominance into points by the sounds of it.

 

69.45

Bolt penalised for poor binding at the scrum. Holbitt will go for the kick at goal to get the Squids within penalty distance.

But he misses a kick he should have scored. Still 5 points in it.

 

More errors in this game than in an essay written by a stoned author.

 

72.45

Spark has been sin binned. Clearly hands in the ruck slowing down the play there. That's the third time he's been caught doing that, and from my perspective he's got away with many more.

He'll miss the final 8 minutes of the match. Can the Squids take advantage of the numerical superiority?

 

Surprisingly/unsurprisingly good. By far the best player in the game and despite being hopelessly out of position, he still has more technique and strength than a number of the really low post ranked front rowers.

 

76.30

That may have been the final chance for the Squids. Hughes saw an opportunity by kicking over the top of the backs and hoped to find touch.

He failed to do so and Furball retrieves the ball and hoofs it back downfield.

 

80.00

Dan Wayne in possession as the whistle blows. He takes no chances and kicks the ball straight into touch.

Full Time

 

Nippers (22)

Tries: Furball, Kao, Shriram

First win for the Crabs franchise, I do believe. And a solid one too.

 

Not surprised by the direness of a few of those but we had quite a few step up like Faldo and Kao.

Furball pushing for a firsts spot, superb game from him.
