BOP v Wellington

Donsteppa

Not such a heads up play by Campbell letting that go out.

Punished further by a poor defensive read on the right wing, missed who it was who rushed up

Wohoo great Wainui combo there, What’s everyone’s thoughts on Blackwell playing 10?

Stargazer

I've been looking closely at Love during this game and the way he jumps to catch the high ball is likely to get him injured at some point. Bad technique/timing.

Steven Harris

Thats a try all day

Donsteppa

That's not a collapse, that's just lunging for the line. Twat suggestion from the ref.

Stargazer

@steven-harris Yeah, couldn't be clearer. Yet, they're trying to find a way to disallow it. Geez, it should be clear and obvious.

Steven Harris

Same official from the Waikato v Canterbury game ..?

Stargazer

Finally. Did it really have to take that long?

Steven Harris

@stargazer Hawkes Bay should be doing everything to get thompson back with Dixon moving on

mikey07

Wow can’t believe we let him go to the Chiefs and we will not doubt get O’Reilly

Stargazer

@steven-harris Yeah, esp because he's moving to the Chiefs. Knowing the circumstances of how he ended up in Wellington, the Canes' strategy has failed. He'll be better off in Hawke's Bay going forward.

Donsteppa

I know Nathan Harris has had major injury problems curtail his top level run. But there's also that lineout throwing.

Steven Harris

What are the hometown ARs on both sides of the field doing ..?.

KiwiMurph

Kieran Read's younger brother Judd scores

mikey07

@kiwimurph Should of at the minimum been a penalty for a BOP players putting Goosen in a sleeper hold.

Stargazer

Numia has been struggling, esp the last 20 minutes, and he's still on the field. Wellington coaches obviously not trusting the reserve prop.

Higgins

Try next to the posts to the Steamers with the kick to come. Wgtn lead by one. Time is up!!!!

Stargazer

I think it was Kirifi missing the first, crucial tackle.

Donsteppa

Yes!!!!!

Goal kicking was the winner on the day

canefan

Wow, we make it all the way back only to lose anyway
