Waikato vs Wellington

[WillieTheWaiter]

waikato are struggling to put a team together so chuck the house on welly 13+
dunno what they were doing at training.. but all got head knocks.. cruden, sullivan, quinn, norris all injured.. any suitable u20's.. injured!

[Bovidae]

I was going to say that on current form, Wellington should win this easily. Now...

Biggest game this weekend.

Hope you're right Canes4life and Preston & Clarke are the preferred combo for the big games. I have my doubts though, I think it's Preston and Morgan in the coaches eyes.

[Bovidae]

A very under-strength Waikato team. By my count there are 5 starters who weren't even in the original squad. Obviously Filipo couldn't find enough backs.

Bump.. there's a lot of match threads this weekend

Wellington with the early penalty goal 3-0

[Duluth]

Make that 10-0

[Stargazer]

You could see that intercept coming from miles away.

What's up with Waikato this year? NPC form varies a lot, due to player turnover and limited preseason time, but they seem to have really fallen away.

[Stargazer]

Great try to Waikato.

Kirifi is down.

[Stargazer]

Roe deserved that try. Best Waikato player on the field.

[Stargazer]

I jinxed him.

[Stargazer]

Wellington give the intercept back.

[Stargazer]

O'Reilly off injured.

Edit: HIA

[Stargazer]

Ref talking to AR. Radio commentators saying they've turned the comms off. Not sure what's going on. Quite a long break.

[Stargazer]

Game continues.

[Canes4life]

Waikato 17 Wellington 27 at the half.

[Stargazer]

Nick Briant not happy with Kirifi questioning his decisions. Walking them back 10m.

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer Kirifi had a point there IMO.

[BerhamporeNinja]

Ref is Mmmm

[Canes4life]

Love off for an HIA
