BOP v Wellington

[Donsteppa]

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

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

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.

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...

[Bovidae]

Were the kicks that Love and Morgan missed difficult? The latter is usually a decent goal kicker.

Who is Tosi ? NZ teams are short of big TH props. He looks like Ben Tameifuna but with less fat.

@cgrant brought in from southland used to be a no 8 big powerful unit and still young

Can he scrum ? He should get a SR contract, the sooner the better.
