Bay of Plenty v Wellington

[Stargazer]

Come on Wellington, you need to score! #strategicsupporting

[Stargazer]

PU-J received my message.

[Canes4life]

Great call from Umaga-Jensen there.

[Canes4life]

Get a haircut Peter

[Stargazer]

@Canes4life Haha, almost every team has that one player!

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer Wellington have two now with Ah Koui coming on aswell.

[Stargazer]

@Canes4life Furno also in that category

[Higgins]

This referee seems to have left his cards in the changing rooms.

[Steven Harris]

@Higgins I reckon there’s been at least 10 scrum penalties against the visitors ..

[Higgins]

@Steven-Harris Don't worry the Wellington front row are young are are supposedly learning their craft at this level, despite all being Super Rugby players, and, in one case, an All Black.

[Canes4life]

@Higgins i’d Like to see you pack down against old veterans at 21. I don’t see you commentating on their defence or any of the good stuff they’ve been doing. Aumua has shown All Black level defence tonight.

[Stargazer]

I wonder why Gibbes didn't give Hauiti-Parapara the start. He's better than Collins.

[Stargazer]

Wellington again lucky to escape with a one-point win.

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer defence wins matches. Wellington have been great in that aspect over the last few weeks. Take away our scrum and we’ve been strong in most other aspects.

JGB showing that he just isn’t upto it.

[Steven Harris]

Got to give the Lions their dues , hammered in the main at scrum time..spent a good 10 minutes in their own 22..,got a skitzo first five who’s either hot or cold , but found a way through their defence..!..TBN at number 8 outstanding

[Canes4life]

@Steven-Harris does TBN have a Super contract?

[Steven Harris]

@Canes4life he should have, he’s got some engine..!

[Stargazer]

@Canes4life To be fair, I think Wellington should have lost a player to the bin with all those scrum penalties. If that had happened, they probably wouldn't have won.

Nevertheless, good defence, holding BOP out. Result suits me fine for the Championship table.

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer Yeah they should of, most other refs would have given a card alot earlier.

[Donsteppa]

Wellington front rowers should have spent a fair bit of that game sitting on a plastic chair...that said, the Steamers scored two tries to one but conceded too many kickable penalties/didn't kick our goals. A very tight battle.
