Farah Palmer Cup 2020

[Stargazer]

Auckland v BoP, Waikato v Counties and Canterbury v Wellington should be good games to watch.

It would surprise me if anyone beats this Canterbury women's team this year. They're so good! Especially, Kendra Cocksedge, Alana Bremner and Grace Brooker are excellent.

[Gunner]

Northland Kauri pumped Harbour 65-5.

Woodman looks to be near her best again after her injuries.

The girls are performing bloody well in only their second year in the comp!

Stacey will be happy she gets to play in the midfield.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Stacey has scored a hat-trick in the first half. Another half to go.

[Gunner]

Northland ran up another cricket score today 77-3 against Taranaki, with Portia Woodman scoring a record 6 tries!

We need beat BOP with a bonus point next week and hope the Waikato ladies beat Auckland and deny them a bonus point, which will put us in equal 2nd with Auckland on 21 points.

Not sure what the tie breaker is to get into the semis, we have a far better points differential, but they just beat us in the round robin game.....

Anyway an outstanding season from the Kauri, they’ve got some absolute superstars in the team.

If you want to see one of the best ever tries by a prop (ever, in all rugby), check out Krystal Murray’s try, it was something an outside back would be proud of!

[Stargazer]

@Gunner This one?

[Gunner]

@Stargazer that’s it. What a beauty!

[voodoo]

@Gunner solid, but had nothing on Richard Bands running over Carlos though!

[Bovidae]

This game is the curtain-raiser to the test match.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae That's a top of the table clash in pool North of the FPC. Probably the best FPC game of the weekend.

[Bovidae]

@Stargazer And the winner to avoid Canterbury in the semi. Northland and CM will be cheering for Waikato.

[mikedogz]

Counties now second on points differential after beating Taranaki 107 to 3, wanting Waikato to beat Auckland and Auckland not getting a bonus point.

Northland are now second after their 32-0 win over BOP but Auckland advances.
