Waikato v Bay of Plenty

Pleased for BOP as it may save them from relegation. But I was staggered Waikato dragged Roe so early as he was controlling the game so well in the absence of a regular 10 and their buffer was small. Triple T and Garland had their best games so far today. Enjoyed the game.

@Donsteppa Good luck with finding that sort of information from the Union. Would also be interested to know what happened to Tiatia and Laupepe ?

Yep, it’s a bit of a mystery
It’s impressive to see the depth we’re starting to develop, given the injury toll this year. It would give Clayton some very good selection headaches if everyone was fully fit.

Late to this thread but
YAY!!!! Beating Canterbury, Hawke's and DSW in consecutive weeks is a golden period in our history. To be honest, I thought we would need Harbour to falter to save us from relegation with those 3 tough games so it is somewhat annoying to win all 3 and still not be safe.

Yeah, I'll have to admit I am somewhat miffed. Given how we started the season and the caliber of the teams ahead I gave us little hope and I assumed life would be less stressful with the predicted losses. It was nice to know that there would be no more cursing the ref, no more stomping around the lounge in a rage, no more hiding behind the couch during tense moments and no more vowing never to watch rugby again !! I could comfortably look forward to a sedate cricket season and write off another BOP season.
But the buggers have played well knocking over some decent teams putting us a semi final /relegation race. To make matters worse there now is some justifiable expectation of success So I am resigned to a tense North Harbour game which will probably age me several years.

So this!! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: On the plus side, I never expected Canterbury to be the 'easy' game of the wins. Hawkes and Waikato were brilliant results, but 80+ minutes of high tension...
