BOP v Wellington

[Steven Harris]

What are the hometown ARs on both sides of the field doing ..?.

[KiwiMurph]

Kieran Read's younger brother Judd scores

@kiwimurph Should of at the minimum been a penalty for a BOP players putting Goosen in a sleeper hold.

[Stargazer]

Numia has been struggling, esp the last 20 minutes, and he's still on the field. Wellington coaches obviously not trusting the reserve prop.

[Higgins]

Try next to the posts to the Steamers with the kick to come. Wgtn lead by one. Time is up!!!!

[Stargazer]

I think it was Kirifi missing the first, crucial tackle.

[Donsteppa]

Yes!!!!!

Goal kicking was the winner on the day

[canefan]

Wow, we make it all the way back only to lose anyway

[Stargazer]

Holy shit that was a cripple fight. Wellington now the main candidate for relegation, if there will be relegation this year.

@canefan Of Plenty won.

[mikey07]

@donsteppa Isn’t it ironic it was goal kicking that ended up costing us against Waikato also.

[mikey07]

@stargazer At least we might be more competitive against the lower tier.

[Donsteppa]

Some of the young players really stepped up. In some ways playing as well as or better than the more experienced players they replaced.

Otere Black mentioning there that some of them had just got off the tools on Thursday ahead of the game.

That result is a big relief.

[Stargazer]

@donsteppa Justin Sangster was good in this game. Strong, short burst from reserve prop Pasilio Tosi, too.

[Donsteppa]

I will continue to tip against us for the rest of the season to guarantee more victories.

[mikey07]

@donsteppa I should’ve gone against Wellington like I had all season oh well lesson learnt.

If we didn't have so many injuries I would drop TTT, an absolute passenger at one of the most influential positions on the park, we improved out of sight when he went off. Jeez we have some injuries and happy to sneak away with that

yeah i agree, especially Carter and Webber playing out of position.. but all stand outs

[ARHS]

Glad I tipped Wellington. Only way to get a BOP win. The early box kicking and handling was cringe worthy though. But some players really stood up. Carter and Webber showed guts in the backs Narawa was much improved and Sangster Ross and Broughton were great in the forwards. Sangster must have developed well playing in the US. But the key was the impact of Campbell and Tosi. Should have started them both perhaps.
Was stunned at the ref awarding the try on half time. Very poor officiating when they were over the top looking at other possible tries. Just turn a blind eye to the clear and obvious no try...
