Waikato v Bay of Plenty

[Yeetyaah]

@Bovidae yeah dunno what happened with Smith. Didn't watch the game but the thread from last week seemed like Waaka was trash.

[Yeetyaah]

Strange. On the graphic it's listed Waaka at 14 and Coombes-Fabling at 15.

The final changes to the starting XV are to the outside backs. Patrick Osborne returns to the left wing with Gideon Wrampling moving back to the reserves. Beaudein Waaka and Liam Coombes-Fabling swap positions from right wing to fullback.

[Yeetyaah]

I really wanna see Rivez tear it up a bit but he's a bit green.

Mewett back so BOP pretty much full strength. Waikato missing a few first stringers. This should be close. I will head across to FMG

[Yeetyaah]

Bay off their feet for that turnover before the try

[Duluth]

Great work from Narawa to set up that try

[Yeetyaah]

Deliberate knock down?

[Yeetyaah]

How short was that penalty advantage?

[Yeetyaah]

Good charge down.

[Yeetyaah]

This ref is playing short advantages both ways.

[Donsteppa]

Somewhat ironic these days that the smaller grounds tend to look better on TV given the smaller crowds.

[Yeetyaah]

Down by 14 points and they take the shot?

[taniwharugby]

@Yeetyaah as long as he is consistent with it, it shouldn't matter

[Yeetyaah]

Nice try. Waikato are fucking garbage.

[Yeetyaah]

Lmao Tupaea gets an easy try

[Donsteppa]

Poor tackle attempt there.

[Yeetyaah]

Lmao Patrick Osborne shouldn't be anywhere near a starting line up.

[Dice]

Narawa having one of his better games this season.
