@Bovidae was 6-5 with 5 to go, so strong finish from Waikato after sustained pressure.

@taniwharugby I didn't see any of the game, just checked the Mooloo website for the result when I got home.
Watching the last few mins of the live stream an ex-Northland player (Anderson) scored the first try with 3 mins to go. Alley then scored from break by no.8 Simon off a scrum on halfway in the last minute.

HT: Counties Manukau 37 - 3 North Harbour
This game will turn into a blood bath. That's what you get if you mix both divisions in the FPC; last year's Premiership semi-finalist v last year's 5th placed team of the Championship (out of 6 teams). The difference is just too big.
Taranaki (2020 wooden spooners) v Auckland (2020 Premiership finalists), tomorrow, will be even worse.

@Daffy-Jaffy The best game this weekend to see one team savagely butcher another. The gulls will devour the ducks!
And that's after watching the Counties v Harbour game, yesterday.
Edit: Or not. I see it's still nil all after 15 minutes.

Half time: Taranaki 0 - 12 Auckland
It's hard to believe this score. I keep on waiting for Auckland to explode and start a try fest. Maybe the lack of training is playing a part in their reasonably average game thus far? The bits I've seen of the first half were error-ridden (both teams, and the rain will be partly to blame), although AKL clearly the better team.

@Machpants These scores are not more typical for the FPC than for the Mitre 10 Cup. It may be a bit worse this year, because they went for a pool North and a pool South (mixing the Premiership and Championship teams), but it has nothing to do with being women's rugby per se. We had some crazy big scores in the Mitre 10 Cup, last year, too. For example, Ta$man v Manawatu (64 - 3), BOP v Otago (50 - 7), Auckland v Southland (64 - 7), Ta$man v Northland (52 - 6), BOP v Manawatu (64 - 3).
I assume it's meant as a cost-cutting measure. Hopefully, it's for one year only.
