Waikato v Wellington

Who is this version of JGB? Playing well

Damn, put the mockers on him. Wellington hot on attack and he comes up with a nothing chip kick that allows Cruden to clear. Cost us over 50m of territory

I think it’s a good time to bring Solomon on. JGB looking tired now after a good game.

FFS guys, let's shelve the chip kicks. Harkin gets one charged down near half way and puts Waikato hot on attack

Just need to keep the ball in hand and kill the clock. Don’t give them an opportunity.

And then one scores

Could be a tight finish. Wellington lead by 11 with 8 to go. All those missed conversions won't help Waikato

Canes4life

Harkin has made some poor decisions today. Looks rusty.

Yeetyaah

How is that not a penalty at that lineout? Clearly taken out in the air.

Great kick by the Mooloo 4

Yeetyaah

Weird game but deserved from Wellington. Fuck it's cold here.

Waikato have run out of time. The way they started the second half, I thought they would overrun Wellington inside 20 minutes. But Wellington came back and take the bonus point win. Last task is to prevent them scoring and gaining a bonus point

canefan

Kick it out

Solid win by Wellington. Lakai was very good, a welcome sight but the Lions probs won’t see much more of him this year.

Nice touch by Lakai giving his boots away to a fan.

Mathis should concentrate on midfield, he's got it all for that, reminds me of Kriel. Cover wing and cover openside at a pinch.

@Bones

I was thinking the same. 13 in particular. He’ll still get to use his speed and he’ll get plenty of chances over the ball on defence

Bovidae

The wind was very strong, and Waikato struggled to get out of their half in the 1st half when kicking. We started the 2nd half well but handling errors and passive defence let in some soft tries. Hopefully we get some players back soon. Sinkinson didn't look very comfortable when he left the field, and the backline is already missing so many players.

Pita Anae-Ah Sue is OK around the field, and I said to my friends that the lineout would fall apart with him throwing. He's the 4th choice hooker at the moment but I would rather Filipo had picked a local.

Only based on highlights, but Numia seemed to have a good game.
