BOP v Southland

[Tim]

@bayimports Any news on Narawa’s injury?

[bayimports]

@Tim no idea from me, have been waiting for something from bop rugby to be posted on all players health all week and nothing as emerged. Maybe someone closer might have a better idea, as I would like to know too!

Finding the lack of info a bit exasperating. No Leroy Carter, Trask, Karpik, Ross, or Forbes either. Some odd backline selections given the centre and fullback options. Just hope they can click better than last week.

Stags full of running

nice try by The Bay, although it was started by a blatant forward pass right in front of the ref, great continuity after that

Combinations taking a while to gel across the park. And another injury in the squad, this time to Eklund.

Two thoughts:

I'm genuinely surprised the TAB had the BoP at -24.5 favourites in this one. Southland were decent last week.

The commentators said they're surprised Selby-Rickit missed the All Blacks team. Personally it's hard to see the ABs selecting someone who has a recent conviction involving kicking someone in the head resulting in a fractured jaw.

Great finish Amanaki Nicole.

After watching Boshiers sensational performance,is Sam Cane playing ..?

[African Monkey]

@Steven-Harris Oh give it a rest mate Boshier was only up against Canterbury

[Steven Harris]

@African-Monkey haha

[taniwharugby]

@African-Monkey he looks sharp

[Steven Harris]

Great work Southland ..

[Tim]

BOP look awful. TTT is in All Black consideration?

Is Sam Cane out there?

[African Monkey]

And again! GPT can't stop scoring these days! Love the confidence shown by Southland turning down shots at goal.

[African Monkey]

@Tim Spoke too soon haha.

[Donsteppa]

Nice try.

A worry that some Warren Gatland-like disjointedness has seeped across the Kaimai ranges from the Chiefs, but fingers crossed for the second half.

[Steven Harris]

Southland showing they are no longer the easy beats of previous seasons..Dale McLeod has done an awesome job revamping the club comp and also getting some quality signings ..

[ARHS]

Why is tiatia not at fullback and garland on

Thwaites is having an extremely good year.
