Wellington vs Otago

[Winger]

Yellow card wellington. Think wellington is done for now

[Higgins]

@Winger Maybe not, Otago botch the lineout!

[Winger]

Wellington hang on just. They kick it away a bit too much this half

3 minutes to go

[Winger]

and Wellington the win. 32-26

Excellent game. 4 tries each 3 converted. But Wellington 2 penalties

1st half all Wellington. Otago lucky to be so close at HT. 2nd half Otago on top

[Grooter]

Congrats Wellington lions.

[Winger]

I guess both teams don't get bonus points for try scored. Is it 4 tries or 3 extra tries

[Grooter]

@Winger just need 4 tries in npc

[Stargazer]

@Winger Both teams earned a 4-try bonus point; Otago also earned a bonus point for losing with less than 8 points.

[Stargazer]

Wellington is now the team with the highest number of yellow cards (5).

I initially tried to find the answer to this question online. I couldn't by a few searches. Eventually found the details just now in Wikipedia

All Bunnings NPC had was this. It's a good website but surely to f++k they could just add a bit to explain how bonus points are calculated

Bunnings Warehouse NPC

All games (including crossover matches) carry full competition points, four for a win, two for a draw as well as the bonus point format.

Rugby needs to massively lift their game. Simple stats on new players are often hard to find. Like Peter Lakai. I'm interested in his date of birth and height etc. but the Lions website has nothing

@Winger

It would be great if these files were continually updated though.

[Winger]

@Bovidae

Perfect. So Peter is 1.86. Ardie is 1.88. Richie was 1.87.

I thought he looked a bit taller but at 1.86 maybe his future is as a 7

@Bovidae Coles second youngest in the squad. Wouldn't have picked that.

[taniwharugby]

@foobaNZ Connor Collins looks a pretty young 36 year old, 4 years older than the next oldest, NMS

[Bovidae]

@taniwharugby Guess what Coles' DOB is?

Good to see they proof-read the documents before publishing.

[taniwharugby]

@Bovidae I know, and people writing him off saying he's too old, he's still a baby?!

A late watch. As a neutral, I have found Mr Williams' refereeing very harsh for the Southern men, particularly at scrum time.
