Congratulations to Waikato, well deserved at the end of the day..
Gotta say i was a bit underwhelmed by Brett Cameron..I think the Blues dodged a bullet with his non signing ..@Steven-Harris Hadn't heard that. Don't rate him either. I suspect he'll peak at the Otere Black level.

Waikato's attack was very good despite having two props in their backline.
Whitelock's defense was not the best in this game.
Waikato's number 8, Murray Iti, was very good.
Fletcher easily outplayed Cameron.
Tupaea is a stud. Him and ALB in the Chiefs midfield is something to look forward to.

@DrivingMaul Nice interview mate. Should have asked him how that pass wasn't ruled forward though :winking_face:

Fuck Dwayne Sweeney is lazy. Ball gets thrown at the ground and he's he closest player and he doesn't even go for it. Piss me off.

Sweeney definitely stifles the backline. I want to see Tupaea-Sullivan.
Really happy with this win as I expected Canty to run away with the game with 20 to go. But we showed some ticker to stay in the fight.
Waikato definitely need to improve their defence which was too passive. The scrum problems surprised me, and I wonder if the locks contributed to this. The Waikato team that ended the game had plenty of players under 20 years old so that is a positive for the future.

Feedback from the front row was yes lack of support coming from 2nd row. Sorted at halftime
