Wellington v BOP

[Canes4life]

Score update: Welly 7 - BOP 8

[canefan]

Nice mauling try there. Probably for the best with JGB at first receiver... A lot of forward runners catching the ball flat footed before trying to push forward. Just like the ABs...

[Canes4life]

Wellington in through Apisai and take the lead again.

Shields apparently into lock. Ropeti comes on at blindside.

[Canes4life]

Jeez that’s a shocking call from the ref there. Avei-Collins hard done by.

[Canes4life]

Kurt Eklund having a superb game. A few important turnovers so far.

[canefan]

If BOP stop dropping the ball they might be able to beat Wellington, assuming they don't raise their game. Lions need to get their hands on some attacking ball

[canefan]

Gritty first half by Wellington, aided by some pretty abject handling from BOP

[Canes4life]

A few players have gone off. Hopefully Preston and Harkin come on soon.

HT Welly 12 - BOP 8

Sickness in the squad during the week apparently

[Canes4life]

First time Savea’s name has been mentioned. He’s a bit of a waste of space.

[Canes4life]

Classic Umaga-Jensen not passing it, should have been a try there.

[Canes4life]

Higgins with a lovely offload to Savea and he dots down. Beautiful.

[Canes4life]

Patafilo looks to be injured now. Welly players dropping like flies.

[canefan]

Surely a forward pass by JGB

[canefan]

Wellington trying hard to lose the game

[nzzp]

hot take: I don't love sudden death. Draws are draws! Live with it (except in knockouts)

[canefan]

Wellington really screwed this up and could have easily lost in regulation

great result in OT

[canefan]

What a try to win the game. Higgins almost overcooked the in field kick, great chase by the reserve HB

[Canes4life]

Fantastic by Riley Higgins to even get in that position. Well bloody played.
