“They’ve got the ball”.
“Advantage, offside”.
“Oh they’re offside, there’s a chance with the pass over the top, there’s a dive … is there a try? Referee is going to go upstairs to the TMO Steve King”.
“This is great the Bay boys are off the bench, they’re all on their feet”.
“I don’t know Richard, I just saw Glen Jackson say to him – lip-reading – ’did you get it’, I don’t know whether he said yes or no, I think he said – looking at Jackson’s expression - I don’t think it was there but it’s going to burn up some time”.
“We’ll they’ll come back for the penalty anyway I think”.
“They’ll come back for the penalty and Auckland will lose one as well –“
“Oh yeah, that’s a try, there’s no problem at all, yeah well maybe he said I’ve got it and Glen Jackson was thinking about the conversion”.
“Well they’re going back to halfway the Bay of Plenty players, this is Anthony Tahana”
“Oh gee I think that’s a try, no problem at all”. “Well Adrian Cashmore was up straight away and he was right over the chalk. Try is given! Tahana the try scorer, the not insignificant matter of an NPC bonus point which has been lost in the excitement of the last few minutes. It’s 31-25 and Jackson with the chance to take the game away completely from Auckland”.
“This was clever play from Bay of Plenty, Jackson, he puts Tipoki on the inside so it was safety first tactics, I don’t think he ever dreamed he was going to get this far. Then they rumble it up and get the ball back, they had huge numbers, they’d already got the penalty there because Auckland were offside and he knew they’d been called offside – a Hail Mary pass from Jackson and they just had the numbers, well done”.
“Jackson sends it on its way, AND OVER!”
