Wellington vs Otago

[Winger]

Otago on top now Maybe the three games are having an impact now

[Higgins]

That was too easy. Imagine what the HB lineout drive is going to do this this mob next Saturday night.

[Grooter]

Keep going boys! what a comeback this could be

[Winger]

Otago a lineout drive try

Close game now 32-26

4 tries each. 2 penalties diff

[Winger]

All Otago. Wellington attack but get no-where

[Grooter]

Dammit bell

[Winger]

Some of these penalties against wellington are a it tough

[Winger]

Otago well on top though.

Numia just been replaced 70+ minutes after another long shift

[Higgins]

An now another wellington binning and an Otago lineout drive coming from the resultant penalty.

[Winger]

Yellow card wellington. Think wellington is done for now

[Higgins]

@Winger Maybe not, Otago botch the lineout!

[Winger]

Wellington hang on just. They kick it away a bit too much this half

3 minutes to go

[Winger]

and Wellington the win. 32-26

Excellent game. 4 tries each 3 converted. But Wellington 2 penalties

1st half all Wellington. Otago lucky to be so close at HT. 2nd half Otago on top

[Grooter]

Congrats Wellington lions.

[Winger]

I guess both teams don't get bonus points for try scored. Is it 4 tries or 3 extra tries

[Grooter]

@Winger just need 4 tries in npc

[Stargazer]

@Winger Both teams earned a 4-try bonus point; Otago also earned a bonus point for losing with less than 8 points.

[Stargazer]

Wellington is now the team with the highest number of yellow cards (5).

I initially tried to find the answer to this question online. I couldn't by a few searches. Eventually found the details just now in Wikipedia

All Bunnings NPC had was this. It's a good website but surely to f++k they could just add a bit to explain how bonus points are calculated
https://www.provincial.rugby/bunnings-npc/about-the-bunnings-npc/

All games (including crossover matches) carry full competition points, four for a win, two for a draw as well as the bonus point format.

Rugby needs to massively lift their game. Simple stats on new players are often hard to find. Like Peter Lakai. I'm interested in his date of birth and height etc. but the Lions website has nothing
