Wellington v BOP

[Donsteppa]

One of those games where we almost need Mexted back in the commentary box, given some of the shifts in momentum in the game.

[Higgins]

@Donsteppa I think he is living up your way these days!

[Winger]

32 - 30 bop

[Grooter]

Higgins double!

Anybody else thing JGB is playing out of his skin?
It’s amazing what having no super rugby contract does to you.

[Winger]

Wellington back in front. Try Higgins after break by kirifi

[canefan]

BOP player rushes up and Kirifi bursts through to set up our 12 debutant for a try under the posts. 37-32 lions

[Winger]

Entertaining game but neither team have a hope if winning the competition

[Stargazer]

Kaleb Trask's boot has kept BOP in this game. He has scored 15 points thus far. The second points scorer this weekend (thus far), behind Fergus Burke.

[canefan]

Savea looks very good and has played well

[Grooter]

Gillies kaka switching Bays I can't believe it

[Stargazer]

@FakatavaAllBlack His wife being in the BF7s has probably a lot to do with that.

[canefan]

Wellington got a turnover and run it from just inside their half. Give it back to BOP when they should have kicked into the corner to try to shut the game down

[canefan]

Another LO steal by Wellington

[Steven Harris]

we come with rules like 50/22 and goaline dropouts to speed the game up and then we come up with water breaks which slows the game down again 🤦🏻.not to mention it’s 13 degrees in Wellington

[Winger]

37 - 35 Wellington

[Stargazer]

@Steven-Harris You know that you still sweat when playing, don't you? Even if it isn't warm. Players need to drink to prevent dehydration even in these conditions.

These drink breaks prevent waterboys coming on whenever a team needs a breather.

Edit: The only problem it doesn't solve is that players can still fake injuries if they want to catch their breath.

[Winger]

Canterbury next week. Scrum will have to improve

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer I get that , but with 9 minutes to go

[Stargazer]

@Steven-Harris Yep, that's stupid and that's on the ref.
