Piss poor defence by welly, BoP in

Great defence more like by Preston there

That kick not so good lol

Good grinding by BoP, but knocked again... Maybe?

[Yeetyaah]

Refs hands were going up before Rossy had even got the ball near the line. Preemptive knock on, is this guy from Welly?

[Machpants]

7 all

[Canes4life]

Fucking Apisai.

[Yeetyaah]

Good to see Hori Bop in the crowd.

[Yeetyaah]

Apisai is so shit lmao

[antipodean]

How's Higgins allowed to pick up that ball when there's clearly a fucking ruck?

Yeah it's pretty bad

Higgins very good

10-7 after 26 mins

[Yeetyaah]

Kirifi on the floor impeding the cleaner

[Yeetyaah]

Naitoa having a field day at the lineout

This standard of refereeing simply can't be the best available for a final.

[Machpants]

Lol high tackle right in front of ref missed

[Mattasaurus]

I know the conditions aren't great - but the throwing and options at line out time by the lions are not great so far.

Yeah that was a shocker.

Two international refs running the sideline

[antipodean]

Why is Tahuriorangi kicking high from the base of rucks into this wind? Just dumb rugby.

[Canes4life]

If we can’t throw into the lineout, get Hika on.

[Machpants]

I think we can safely say this is more than a 3 point wind, welly need to score otherwise BoP will be feeling rather good going into half time
