BOP v Wellington

[Stargazer]

@steven-harris Yeah, esp because he's moving to the Chiefs. Knowing the circumstances of how he ended up in Wellington, the Canes' strategy has failed. He'll be better off in Hawke's Bay going forward.

[Donsteppa]

I know Nathan Harris has had major injury problems curtail his top level run. But there's also that lineout throwing.

[Steven Harris]

What are the hometown ARs on both sides of the field doing ..?.

[KiwiMurph]

Kieran Read's younger brother Judd scores

@kiwimurph Should of at the minimum been a penalty for a BOP players putting Goosen in a sleeper hold.

[Stargazer]

Numia has been struggling, esp the last 20 minutes, and he's still on the field. Wellington coaches obviously not trusting the reserve prop.

[Higgins]

Try next to the posts to the Steamers with the kick to come. Wgtn lead by one. Time is up!!!!

[Stargazer]

I think it was Kirifi missing the first, crucial tackle.

[Donsteppa]

Yes!!!!!

Goal kicking was the winner on the day

[canefan]

Wow, we make it all the way back only to lose anyway

[Stargazer]

Holy shit that was a cripple fight. Wellington now the main candidate for relegation, if there will be relegation this year.

@canefan Of Plenty won.

[mikey07]

@donsteppa Isn’t it ironic it was goal kicking that ended up costing us against Waikato also.

[mikey07]

@stargazer At least we might be more competitive against the lower tier.

[Donsteppa]

Some of the young players really stepped up. In some ways playing as well as or better than the more experienced players they replaced.

Otere Black mentioning there that some of them had just got off the tools on Thursday ahead of the game.

That result is a big relief.

[Stargazer]

@donsteppa Justin Sangster was good in this game. Strong, short burst from reserve prop Pasilio Tosi, too.

[Donsteppa]

I will continue to tip against us for the rest of the season to guarantee more victories.

[mikey07]

@donsteppa I should’ve gone against Wellington like I had all season oh well lesson learnt.

If we didn't have so many injuries I would drop TTT, an absolute passenger at one of the most influential positions on the park, we improved out of sight when he went off. Jeez we have some injuries and happy to sneak away with that

Sangster. Leroy carter. Emoni. Webber i thiught had good games
