From 1st half:

The Poua have really struggled to play well for the full 80 minutes. This game seems to follow the same pattern. Such a pity.

19 - 21 Poua

[Stargazer]

I should have posted that sooner. Great team try from Waterman.

Yellow for Vaha'akolo for a high tackle.

19 - 26 Poua

[Stargazer]

This is the Poua's best game of the season. Hopefully they can keep on playing well until the final whistle.

Ooh man why take the 3 there.

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah Because it's almost full time and they put the Poua 10 points in front.

[Yeetyaah]

@Stargazer oh fuck lmao I'm reading the score wrong

[Stargazer]

The Hurricanes Poua beat the Blues Women 29 to 24. Well-deserved win!

Rankings wise probably right result as well.
Poua struggled all season with a poor scrum but were well organised otherwise.
Blues just seemed directionless a lot of the time. Of the four teams they also look an odd one out with regards to a tight culture in the team. No image/name/haka etc. Those things could be related as acroos al forms of women's rugby the teams with a close bond seem to perform the best.
