Jim, I'm told that the (TAS) 13A - (New)13B matchup ended in a win to the TAS boys 17-5
Kings Scots anyone
Final score 36-12 to scots.. Was 24-12 with 5 mins to play and kings conceded two late tries..game was much closer that than the score suggested.
Heard a rumour Wayne Barnes was to be in charge - did that eventuate?
Wayne Barnes was indeed officiating.
Did a superb job.
Game flowed beautifully.
He was in the perfect spot every time.
Pure class.
He must be in Australia as preparation for the Bledisloe Cup next week.
Many NZers haven't forgiven Mr Barnes for the 2007 RWC 1/4 final game vs France.
This could be to our benefit.
Nothing in New v View . New scored on bell to take it from 38 - 36 to 45 - 36 in an absolute cracker . New best served by 2 , Clifford and Simonson . View best were McGregor , Fenn , Scott . View winger O'Reilly far too speedy for big New winger No 11 , they might have an issue there .
