@Nepia said in QF - Waikato v BOP:

I thought a drop kick attempt for a knock on is advantage over?

@Nepia only if it goes over in a penalty situation, if it had been a knock on maybe a different story

[Yeetyaah]

Late shot on dmac missed

[ARHS]

Refereeing in this game is abysmal. Everyone in crowd mystified at the ongoing missed calls

[Steven Harris]

Knock on either way missed, I just sense Bop are starting to panic,Waikato’s game to lose in my opinion

[Steven Harris]

Good work from the replacement Hooker Rangi , good strength to turn Tucker over

[Steven Harris]

Gotta say while all QF’s have been close , the standard is way below what I expected don’t know if the officiating has been much better ..

[Yeetyaah]

Huge forward pass

Edit: nah was flat

[KiwiPie]

Feel the Bay running out of steam. Hoping one of Dmac's no look flicks goes wrong. And then out of nothing a Bay try!

Yeah, they've all felt like preseason games with the substandard handling across the board. I guess it's finals pressure. I think the refs have been tossing a coin for every decision.

Was that pass forward?

[Duluth]

Nice timing of the pass, he forced the defender to commit

[Steven Harris]

@Nepia it looked forward, but you always look at where it comes from out of the hand and it looked ok ..

[Yeetyaah]

Gg Waikato won't win this

[Steven Harris]

@Yeetyaah feel like I jinxed them , on saying that I reckon they have paid the price for kicking so much ball away in the first 60 minutes as well ..D-Mac the main culprit

I'm happy for DMac to be back up 10 for ABs and not play, so Perofeta gets some hands on time with XV. But he's not been great at all this season, a bit like Beaudy

[Yeetyaah]

@Steven-Harris nah they played shit

[KiwiPie]

Go the BAY!!!! Sangster galloping down the field like a giraffe breaking out of the zoo will live long in the memory

[Steven Harris]

Congratulations to Bop great bounce back after last weekend result , must admit didn’t see that one coming ,all the best for the SF’s ..
Commiserations to last years champs Waikato have enjoyed some of the rugby they have played this year ,
Cook Savage and Sinkinson look like really good prospects for the future ,thought they missed Finau in the back row .
Not to sure how Waikato supporters would view this season but for me I would be disappointed checking out in a home QF .

Get Leroy Carter into the AB XV, love how that kid plays.

Ahh great victory, pretty even match to be honest and those late tries made the gap bigger ..only fitting Waikato evened it at the end. Thought McWhannell in beast mode was going to kill us.

Hopefully injuries are not too major. Great effort from a lot of our forwards playing big minutes today too

D Mac fanboy club will probably work overtime on getting him into the ABs but Im seriously underwhelmed by his inconsistency.
