    Just finished watching the recording of this.

    Have not read the thread.

    Entertaining game. Afternoon rugby. Who knew?

    Based on the personnel had Welly winning easy

    But yay the good guys.

    EX-avier* Roe looks handy. What's his back story? Age group?

    *So cool to have X as your first initial I reckon. Was keen to name first born Boo Xanthe but Mrs Boo blocked that as she reckoned too many people would mis-pronounce as Ex-anthe (like I have with "Zavier" above). But I digress. Young fulla looked good though.

    @booboo I think Roe is 21. Spent 2 years playing for Taranaki. He was great. Also noticed the commentators say Ex-avier.

    @booboo Roe played for the NZ U20s in 2018. Both Roe and Ratima (reserve halfback) went to Hamilton BHS. the latter replacing the former in the 1st XV. Both still very young.

    Drive it Waikato!!!

    Such a shame that with this being potentially the best NPC in decades with ABs being involved that there are no crowds so it will be hard to see just how popular it is.

    First time in years and years that I have set aside time to watch a NPC game

    The Lions for a team with so many super rugby players have very poor in terms of accuracy and attitude, it’s almost like met in the car park for the first time..,deserved to come 2nd today ..

    Well they did get beat by Manawatu last week so it can hardly be much of a surprise that they got dawlked by Waikato yesterday.

    Another blow to the union's struggling financially.. Defo felt like a good crowd would have turned up yesterday.
    Getting fucking bored of all the impacts on sport because a handful of people have covid

    I was told that they could only have 200 people in attendance yesterday. That seems low compared to other games but was dependent on the number of entry points to keep bubbles separate.

    The superstar 21-year-old scrumhalf that outplayed TJ Perenara in just his second provincial start

    Wellington, with Asafo Aumua, Ardie Savea and TJ Perenara on duty, were expected to have too much firepower for Waikato. In fact, it was Perenara’s opposite, 21-year-old Xavier Roe, who sparked the home side to their highest ever points scored against Wellington.

    @booboo My son is a Xavier and a halfback too. People stopped emphasising the 'X' years ago. I think you will be hearing a lot more about Xavier Roe. Have watched him at age grade and was amazed he wasn't picked up for super rugby yet.

    @ARHS the Ex thing just annoys me.

    Anyone who has been on The Fern for more than a month or so would probably pick up that I'm easily annoyed 🙂

    But ...

    There's a local School here in The Bay called Xavier Catholic College. Even parents with kids there called it Exavier.

    I've decided to call it Ex-a-vy-ah.

    God I'm an old and grumpy pedant.

    @Yeetyaah I'm not a boomer and you don't have my staff or my nieces. They spell like that.

    The odd thing about it is that it works.

    My mum is late to the texting show. Only been doing it for about 3-4 years. Her older sister (my Aunty) is really good and quick at is and uses abbreviations all the time.

    This weekend before our horse was racing, Mum sent, "Gluck"
