BOP v Wellington

ARHS

@bayimports There was just no plan to move the ball into space, or to defend around the ruck area.
Wonder if a dozen players took a joyride to Auckland and were stopped from getting back? I was hoping it would be top 15 for this one, as I expect it to be the relegation decider. Did not expect to throw in the towel.

yeah it was worse than disappointing, I would have thought a very basic game plan would be create space to give onisi ratave the ball for a one on one ..even our fijian import was catching a cold or heavily marked when he did get it

BOP by 8 😂😂

Hair-brained by Gibson. No explanation from the union around injuries (typical). Such a class squad this year but this backline from 12 onwards seems like they were drawing straws out of a hat.
Seems Gibson is heading to the pile with Greg Smith and Kevin Schuler

Bop 13 plus

ARHS

Wellington by 20. Only hope for BOP is if I tip them to get a hiding. So I am.

Duluth

So has Narawa played 13 at other levels? At NPC level it’s just wing/fullback right?

His defence can be dodgey on the wing. Midfield will be tough

I've also tipped Wellington 17+ in order to guarantee us a win....

Yellow card all day.

Machpants

Man it's no wonder the canes are going doing the gurgler, when they had their players on this embarrassment of a side, should be in top 3!

Tim

Two low skill teams.

Tim

Awful game. Pity both teams can't be relegated.

Donsteppa

That goal-line dropout rule remains the dumbest thing introduced to rugby. Some idiot rule maker who wanted to work for the NRL

You mean a compulsory invocation of the mercy rule!

EDIT As I write this The Steamers shove Wellington back over their line for another try 14 -05 with the successful conversion

Tim

LOL @ the Hurricanes signing Bird. What an absolute dud.

Higgins

@tim Yet another sign of the ineptness of the WRFU/Hurricanes talent indentification system.

Donsteppa

The irony is that will probably give a us better outcome than a goal-line dropout....

Tim

Ball is clearly out.

Yep, sure enough we now get a lineout inside the 22.

@higgins 2 weeks in a row Fido & Numia have been owned at scrum time
