A Magpie supporter
sums the match up ...
"It was a pretty wet, cold and dark afternoon (they needed to
turn the lights on the ground at 4pm), not condusive to free flowing
rugby.
The Magpies won the scrums - the lineouts were pretty even, and
both sides were willing at the breakdowns. For me the standouts
were Bryn Evans who really looks to have stepped up his game following
his time with the Blues. He played like you expect a senior player
too - was good in the lineouts, excellent at kickoffs, and was another
loose forward at the breakdown. I think that the ELV's will definately
suit a player of his size and skill.
The South African lock (sorry can't remember his name) looked good
when he came on too - a very high work rate and a very very big
boy not afraid to use his size.
it was a steady game without being too spectacular for the backline
- it was not conditions for back play but the boys still threw it
around a lot and mostly it came off, following a few handling errors
at the start of the game.
Jimmeh did not really stand out in his first game for Harbour -
one good break in the second half, but a few wrong choices to kick
when there were overlaps outside.
Harbour tried hard in the second half and deserved their try at
the start of the second half (during one of the several hail storms
during the game)."
