Shoulder to the head. Where's the TMO?

Yeah, only a penalty, but Def penalty

1:15 to go, welly scrum on half way

[Canes4life]

Smart going for the scrum.

[canefan]

Great scrum.

[Bones]

Choice!

[Machpants]

Great game, welly win it

[Canes4life]

Yesss boys.

Hard luck BOP, well bloody played.

[canefan]

A most un-Wellington like win. Ugly as, showed real grit. BOP were more than worthy, could have easily won the game. It's a cliche but it's a shame there had to be a loser. Although I'm glad it was them... 😉

Dramatic final..! congratulations Wellington
Commiserations Bop
The 2 best teams in the comp ,small moments
Great way to finish what was a superb NPC season
Hope you were watching Mark Robinson

At least it didn't end on a boundary/try countback I suppose....

[canefan]

Classic how Harkin was able to slot the goal and kick his clearance out of our half while into the wind

[Donsteppa]

Well done Wellington. One heck of a final.

[KiwiPie]

Well played Wellington

Yeah he will start next year surely.

[Bones]

Like I said, EB to the rescue.

[KiwiMurph]

Congratulations Wellington. Fun watch. Both teams sustaining high phases on both attack and defence - impressive.

Player of the match and the season for me was Riley Higgins. He had some crucial touches in that game that turned the momentum in our favour.

Were they in the first half? He was pretty ordinary in the second.

[Bovidae]

That was a tense game to watch as a neutral. You have to feel for the likes of Ah Kuoi who have lost a few finals now.

Revolving subs in ET.

Game was awesome. Went in and took my 8 year old daughter. Despite over dressing her had to leave at half time as she was frozen. Idiots at the stadium opened up the section that bore the brunt of the wind and rain.

[sparky]

A tense, tight final that honestly could have gone either way. A great finish to this year's NPC.

Commiserations to BOP.

Relived and pleased that Wellington won.
