Wellington v BOP
-
we come with rules like 50/22 and goaline dropouts to speed the game up and then we come up with water breaks which slows the game down again
.not to mention it’s 13 degrees in Wellington -
@Steven-Harris You know that you still sweat when playing, don't you? Even if it isn't warm. Players need to drink to prevent dehydration even in these conditions.
These drink breaks prevent waterboys coming on whenever a team needs a breather.
Edit: The only problem it doesn't solve is that players can still fake injuries if they want to catch their breath.

@Stargazer I get that , but with 9 minutes to go

@Steven-Harris Yep, that's stupid and that's on the ref.

fun game, lots of errors but points from both teams made it entertaining. The BoP team were slow to get into this one. The starting forward pack looks good though although TTT's service was so laboured it made TJP look quick. Trask looked ok at 10 and when he got decent ball was a threat, hopefully we don't see him in the fullback jersey again though.
Think both teams can take a few positives out of that one, not polished by any means but enough to keep each set of supporters interested.

Have to say just watching game now as I was at Naki game in Sunday. Bloody entertaining game and have to say I like the look of this young No8 for Wellington.
Lions are going to struggle a bit with their front row, and BOP look to have a reasonably well balanced team.
