Premiership semi-final: Tasman vs BoP

[KiwiPie]

This is it boys. Have to score now ....

[Donsteppa]

Ta$man 12 penalties Bay of Plenty 5.

I can’t remember the last time we ever did that well on a penalty count

[Donsteppa]

Another Invitational lock gets injured.

[KiwiPie]

Steamers fans (Not many of them) are making plenty of noise

why??? SOmuch pointless kicking from teams this year in the 22

[Donsteppa]

Black also with a general kicking game below his usual standards tonight.

Amen!

[Donsteppa]

Christie - such an annoying opposition halfback.

[Stargazer]

Fainga'anuku has been great under the high ball. And strong.

[KiwiMurph]

@Stargazer both Ta$man wingers have had their best games in a while.

Yep, he’ll be a big star in the future.

[KiwiPie]

That's a bollocks penalty. And we haven't caught a contestable ball all night. A work on for next week

Loving the optimism at this stage

[taniwharugby]

the irony of the comms talking about players not throwing the ball away so a 9 can take a quick tap when Christie took a quick one....

[taniwharugby]

reckon Paea lucky not to be done for throwing it there, BOP had numbers there a quick throw was on

[KiwiPie]

Doesn't that sum up the night for us ....

All the way from the All Blacks to the Mitre 10 Cup - it's an epidemic. BoP would love to be 16-10 down with the ball on attack, as they were before Black kicked it away.

[taniwharugby]

that collapsed this side that time, ref was played

[KiwiMurph]

Christie's box kicking has been super effective.

[taniwharugby]

@KiwiMurph had great chasers and the BOP catchers have been under pressure all night
