Be pretty hard to make the top four in our pool now I think. Ta$man in good form in the Auckland and Northland game. Otago got a couple easier games still to play. BOP deserved that game. Frustrating.
Otago plays Canterbury next weekend, not sure how that is an easier game

Very stressful end to the game. Thought we were second best in the first half and kept on turning over the ball. Second half, the roles were reversed and we dominated. Line-out dominance was critical overall but otherwise a pretty tight game which wouldn't have been so tight if Trask could have made just one of those many kicks, including one from in front. Good win for THE BAY

@KiwiPie Well the battle of the Bays has been and gone. And I have to say the better team won, and deserved the win at that. For Hawkes Bay it's placed them in a tricky situation. They simply HAVE to return to Napier and beat Ta$man with a bonus point. Ranfurly Shield hangover? No. The battle of the Bays is motivation enough. Now it's going to be interesting to see how many All Blacks are released to play. Fakatava, and Frizzell are near certainties I would imagine. Ta$man looked good against Northland. For Hawkes Bay it's do or die. Throw the shackles off, and play what your capable of. Either way, should be a ripper of a game.

Pfft, that's nothing, I have to cheer for Canterbury next weekend.
