So do the Highlanders get 2 BP for 4 tries and within 7 still?</p></blockquote>
<br>
No - According to what they said here (in Japanese).<br><br>
Only 1 BP available nowadays. -

<p>I thought it was, my mate thought it wasn't - we weren't cheering for one side or the other in this match. One of the 50/50s.</p> -
<p>Wow. The Landers would've won it if Parker had just kicked over what looked like a fairly easy penalty. Still wouldn't have deserved it though, as all they could do for most of the second half was tackle, gift the Blues the ball and infringe.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good game and good win by the Blues.</p> -
<p>Happy for Tana,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think there will be a massive sigh of relief to start his career with a win , given the recent history with the Blues </p> -

<p>No, for a bonus point you need to score 3 tries more than the opponent. Or lose by 7 or fewer points.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In theory, a losing team could get two bonus points, if the winner gets its score by kicking penalties.</p> -

<p>Blues would've won if West didn't miss those 2 penalties from out in front</p>
<p> </p>

<p>It was good see the players who dominated in school rugby from not long ago starting to step up.. Goes to show how young this team is..</p> -
<p>Don't give a fuck about the negatives at the moment lol what a win! Blake Gibson what a star he will be.</p>

<p>Enjoyed that game way more than I expected - thought it would be error-strewn and cagey but both teams looked good and the pace of the game was right up there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Gibson - what a prospect.</p>

<p>Couldn't agree more, he looked bloody good last year and continues to show promise.</p> -

<p>You can fuck your NH porridge...<strong>THIS</strong> is what we watch rugby for - so many positives, creativity and vision right from the off in the very first game</p>
<p>What an excellent start to the season, bloody excellent, am loving it well worth getting up early for..</p>
<p>Well done Tana's Blues! But What a last minute try, Bender!</p>
<p>Great game to watch, long may it continue..</p> -
