A few players have gone off. Hopefully Preston and Harkin come on soon.

HT Welly 12 - BOP 8

Sickness in the squad during the week apparently

[Canes4life]

First time Savea’s name has been mentioned. He’s a bit of a waste of space.

[Canes4life]

Classic Umaga-Jensen not passing it, should have been a try there.

[Canes4life]

Higgins with a lovely offload to Savea and he dots down. Beautiful.

[Canes4life]

Patafilo looks to be injured now. Welly players dropping like flies.

[canefan]

Surely a forward pass by JGB

[canefan]

Wellington trying hard to lose the game

hot take: I don't love sudden death. Draws are draws! Live with it (except in knockouts)

[canefan]

Wellington really screwed this up and could have easily lost in regulation

great result in OT

[canefan]

What a try to win the game. Higgins almost overcooked the in field kick, great chase by the reserve HB

[Canes4life]

Fantastic by Riley Higgins to even get in that position. Well bloody played.

Bugger. We came back well but a great try to win it. Pretty poor game for a neutral for most of it but we lost it in the first half with all that domination and no points. Really missed Narawa in the back line but Reon Paul is a real talent

Commiserations to BOP. I'm glad that Wellington won, but performance-wise BOP were the better side.

Wellington did well to dig through that with all the injuries in the first half and then Patafilo in the second.

@KiwiPie spot on. So many chances in the first half. BoP should had a decent lead at half time. Wouldn't mind seeing Paul starting at 12. Halaholo has dropped away from where he was at the start of the season
