Waikato v Bay of Plenty

[Donsteppa]

Narawa looking much better this week

[Donsteppa]

Our first one or two supporting forwards seem to end up off our feet, while Waikato keep theirs and nick the ball/penalty

[Donsteppa]

Gah! Evil bounce

[Dice]

That would've been a sweet try if Narawa collected that.

[Donsteppa]

Another silly penalty giving away good field position

[Yeetyaah]

Ref missed a knock on in that turnover.

[Tim]

Has Taukei'aho's throwing improved?

[Dice]

Bay need to make this count.

[Yeetyaah]

Good finish from the bay

[Donsteppa]

YEEEESSS!!!!!!!!!

[Dice]

Congrats The Bay.

TTT was quite good in that passage of play.

[Yeetyaah]

Waaka is fucking dogshit. Fuck knows why Waikato have no first five cover.

[Donsteppa]

O for Awesome - keeps our chances of survival alive, and even a semi final chance!

[Yeetyaah]

Ref missed a knock on in the ruck from the bay before they got that field position.

[KiwiMurph]

Amazing what happens when you have a halfback who can pass.

[Higgins]

33 - 30 to BoP with a last minute converted try.

[Donsteppa]

That was a great effort in the last 15. We lifted with the substitutions and kept at it. Very happy and relieved

[Bovidae]

Poor game management from Waikato at the end. Frustrating to watch.

Strawbridge needs to settle on his preferred top XV rather than making so many changes each week. I hope both Smith and Cobb are injured, as it was stupid not to play them otherwise.

Pleased for BOP as it may save them from relegation. But I was staggered Waikato dragged Roe so early as he was controlling the game so well in the absence of a regular 10 and their buffer was small. Triple T and Garland had their best games so far today. Enjoyed the game.
