Ok. Will pay that. :)
@Chris, I have reviewed the clip and he was definitely 1 to 2 metres in front of the kicker.
Seconds remaining in the half, Manawatu have a lineout 15m out, They form a maul which goes down after 5m. The ball dies at the bottom of the maul and a scrum is awarded to Hawk's Bay. That's halftime, Manawatu have had plenty opportunities to make a comeback but they have been their own worst enemies. Great half of running rugby.
Wow, Manawatu put in a massive scrum 5m out, Marshall got popped right up into the air. Penalty awarded to Manawatu.
He started from behind the kicker though?
Manawatu have lost a huge opportunity 5m out, Hawk's Bay have a scrum to clear the ball up field.
@Chris, he did not retreat after the kick, otherwise he would have been alright.
O'Connor has been penalised for not retreating 10m after being in front of the kick. Black puts in a brilliant kick to set up a 5m lineout.
Wasn't o'connor onside?
Manawatu finally able to put some phases together, and they are rewarded with a penalty after Dixon does not release the tackled player.
