[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

[African Monkey]

Auckland v Ta$man final. Probably one of the weaker yet more interesting finals in recent memory.

[taniwharugby]

Well done Ta$man, did what you needed.

Hard luck BOP, had your chances but lacked accuracy and a good bounce here and there.

[KiwiPie]

Pretty poor game in the end. Ta$man got back every box luck they made so they just kept doing it and we never had enough ball. We were poor when we had the ball. Ah well better than being relegated.
