Hard to show up every season as a fan when no progress is being made.

But we do, and you know you will continue to torture yourself too!

Like an alcoholic. You know it’s bad for you.

Yes point taken. So really I am taking about everyone else….

supporting the most underperformed province in the last 2 decades.

A title we have truely earned. Gutting in every sense of the word.

Right! That's it! Stop playing for the impossible underdog card. You've been based here long enough for an ambush, and we have Waratahs Supercoach Daryl Gibson in charge. Am not being lulled into a false sense of security here.

BOP have looked good in so many games without quite getting over the line. We will change that for you. Thank us later.

just in case anyone was wondering what the colours were for, the team will be wearing a special jersey and the colours are their local clubs

Gibson is another coach in love with a 6:2 split on the bench.

What are people's thoughts on Cashmore? He's looked reasonably good for his age in the very little I've seen of him.

[Donsteppa]

On his current trajectory, Daryl Gibson should be coaching Heartland rugby next year.

[Chris B.]

@bobily2 Is he a son of Adrian - or relative?

Not sure - I've always assumed he's Adrian's son, but I haven't seen anything to confirm it

I thought he looked good for the Chiefs U20s and was much improved from when I watched him at 1st XV level for TBC. One for the future.

@Chris-B He is the nephew of Adrian.

All we need to do is plug corner.

I believe Blair's son

A very nicely worked try. Good of the two Northland forwards to be aggressive at counter rucking instead of defending the fringes

[Donsteppa]

Nice try saving tackle too!

[bayimports]

nice to get a win, but jeez a couple of different bounces and this goes the other way

but jeez a couple of different bounces

and you score 20 more...we are so ill prepared and unfit.

From our side, I just hope that doesn't secure Gibson more time lol

Despite this NPC being anything but fair, with this result we end up having 2 QFs this weekend to decide who progresses to the SFs.
