Wellington v North Harbour

[Canes4life]

@mikey07 really depends what kind of Wellington side turns up. They could win this game comfortably or lose it comfortably. It's been a roller coaster ride so far this year.

@Bones A pretty close battle with a couple of intercept tries (one to each team). Your mob getting theirs with about ten minutes to go proving to be the difference. They won 22 - 15.

It is not really a Wellington domination of the grade as there are only Wgtn, Waikato, and Auckland (possibly Nth Harbour) that really have organised unde3r 85Kgs Competitions. The Axemen only finished 6th in the Wgtn one after they lost a couple of crucial games by conceding late points whereas Eastbourne eventually finished runners up in the Competition to Upper Hutt

Ruben Love has come into the starting side for PUJ. Proctor moves to 13.

[Bones]

@Higgins yeah stoked! Thanks for the update.

[Stargazer]

@Canes4life Who has taken Love's place on the bench?

[mikey07]

Interesting PUJ might be on the bench for the ABS

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer Renata? Not too sure.

Early signs look like North Harbour are the dominant side. Hope i'm wrong.

[Higgins]

Wellington scrum already being shown up with that demolishing.

[antipodean]

only 12 mins in but the Welly hooker getting through some work.

[Canes4life]

@Higgins I wonder why Fidow got benched last minute?

[Nepia]

What a dumb kick.

Apparently, it's Pepesana Patafilo who has moved onto the bench.

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer he should be starting instead of Savea.

[Canes4life]

Number 18 has been a huge weakness for us so far.

[Stargazer]

Thompson on, early.

An astonishing lack of rugby intellect.

[Canes4life]

It starts up front and Wellington just don't look upto it.

[mikey07]

I think the two 85s team that played before this game could beat Wellington our support play is non existence, you get taught at a young age to not go by yourself.

[KiwiMurph]

Ethan Roots has been very impressive so far
