TJ constantly getting BOP names wrong. He needs to be retired
Fixed
Nah he correctly called Fihaki when he missed touch, then when Fihaki got the ball in the next play from the lineout he called him Punivai - which is pretty fucked as they look different and Fihaki was fucking wearing headgear! Plus Punivai was outside him 🤣

Never in doubt

That was impressive by the Bay. Hope they go all they way
All the way to Wellington for their second place medal.
Wellington is never a certainty when favourites. Don’t jinx us. 😂

To be fair I'm more worried by BoP than Waikato, but the cauldron that is the 'tin will provide the winning edge.

Empire defeated, but a few more injuries, hopefully nothing serious, just making the final special. Great work by usual suspects and how the fuck so many of that opposition is AB rated is beyond me, even our reserve wingers looked better than Fihaki
Ah Khoi is a machine

That second half from the Bay was epic. Just so solid. Sorry getting emotional here. Carter's try in the corner will go down in Bay folklore
By geez it was great watch as a neutral, maybe I leant towards the Bay, there something about that team I really like, Pretty solid from 1 to 15 and just a bit of X factor thrown in to make them a real fun team to watch. I really happy if they win the whole thing , though I still really quite neutral.

Great atmosphere at the ground. Bop is a genuine 23 man effort team, but has 3 game breakers. Ah Kuoi, Carter and Narawa are constant threats at this level. Amazing try by Carter.
Fihaki McLeod Gallagher Grace etc did not provide the edge they need to given their national recognition.
I hope the BOP game breakers can inspire the other 20 around them to their very best next week and bring back the title. -

Grace has been a bit rubbish all season. I wonder if all the injuries have dented his confidence? Gallagher is the biggest disappointment for me though. I am hoping he gets a new lease of life at the Canes because he hasn't kicked on the last couple of years. Injuries may be playing a part with him too, but when he first appeared I thought he was going to be quite the enforcer.

Hutchinson physically looks similar to young Halfpenny
And that where it ends

@MiketheSnow if ever there was a match that you could claim won through Welsh influence this was up there 😁
