What's happened to Waikato Rugby?

Looks like this was the thread to get Waikato rugby back on track.

@african-monkey Not if you're looking for anything but total apathy from their supporters!

[Bovidae]

I've just got back from the game. How's that for apathy?

Well, they won back the Ranfurly Shield from the Naki, then defended it against championship top of the table Hawkes Bay with a bonus point win.

The kids are all right.

Awesome. Very promising young centre pairing - Tupaea and Sweeney - where have these young bucks been hiding? And a rejuvenated Tucker and a deserved opportunity for Fletcher Smith to shine, along with Sevu Reece. Amazing!

@arhs Laghlan McWhannell looks to have a lot of potential as well.

[ARHS]

He sure does - junior Brodie...

[Bovidae]

@arhs Everytime Reece had the ball you thought something was going to happen - good or bad.

Disappointing that he is going to Ireland as the AB 7s would be so much better with him and Koroi.

Am I being whooshed about young centre pairing, Dwayne Sweeney?

Last night was the first time I have watched Waikato, only saw about the last 30 minutes. I'll confidently declare that Quinn Tupaea has 'it'

BTW, where is Sullivan?.

He was subbed off by Dawai on the right wing in the 2nd half. Unfortunately none of the play went his way in the game and then Waikato had a set move from an attacking scrum and Sullivan dropped the ball.

this thread is comedy gold. the difference 10 days can make!

glad i didn't put my thoughts onto 'paper' after that Auckland performance...
