NZ men lucky to make the QFs. Cama needs to focus on youth.

If it counts, Webber was making a number of schoolboy errors…..

[Bovidae]

@ACT-Crusader I didn't see the Fiji game, but Webber wasn't too bad in the earlier games. However, against Spain, Molia had a shocker, and Rush had perhaps the worst game I've ever seen from an individual player without getting a card.

Too many players on the wrong side of 30 still - Regan Ware, Amanaki Nicole, Dylan Collier, Joe Webber, Sione Molia and Lewis Ormond.

[Bones]

@Bovidae Molia basically single handedly lost us the Fiji game with guest appearances from Webber and Ormond.

[Bovidae]

The BF7s beat Ireland 33-12 in their QF. Aussie looks ominous so happy to avoid them in the SF.

NZ v SA QF just kicked off

[Bones]

Good grief Vai, give it a fucking bash on the outside, that's why you're there!

[Bovidae]

What does Ormond offer again?

[Steven Harris]

@Bones Vai not the sharpest knife in the draw just needed to kick it into touch with the clock in the red
Some good scramble D ,but the offloads are a concern

Knock one?

[Steven Harris]

Good chase from Mathis to push the try scorer to the corner
Inside D horrible

Finally beats someone on the outside and it's instead of just running the fucking ball out.

Now creates a beauty

[Steven Harris]

Awesome from Maka

[Duluth]

I'm surprised that no SR sides picked up Maka

What position is he? Bloody quick for a big man!

Awesome win, defence really sharpened up at the end, led by Knewstubb! Nice to see guys actually running lines and being smart.

[Steven Harris]

Stunning finish ,best performance of the weekend
Concern for me is the number of players we are putting into the breakdown and leaving man on man D out wide and getting exposed with inside switches

[Bovidae]

See what happens if you play the newbies. I'm not sure why they didn't kick the ball out before the last try.

[Duluth]

@Bones

He’s a winger. Was in very good form for Harbour before getting injured

[Bovidae]

A rematch against Spain in the SF. 11:06 pm NZT.

@Bovidae Sofai Maka was in the Northland futures squad back in 2022 but Northland being Northland signed Brady Rush instead
Always knew having followed Maka at the Manukau Rovers club that he just needed an opportunity at NPC level
