Defence is optional tonight.

And repeat.

[Tim]

Sotutu with some nice carries.

[Bones]

Anyone know what time BOP arrive at the ground?

[Tim]

Counties absolutely on fire! Just running through them at will. Smart kicking game on a slippery night.

[Stargazer]

Geez, Counties already have a try bonus point within 12 minutes.

[Steven Harris]

Counties Manukau on fire …!,who said you can’t pick club players to play at this level ..?🤔

[Tim]

Fair to say that BOP's SR player laden forward pack has been a bit embarrassed so far.

[Donsteppa]

26 - 7 after 12 minutes was a good Sevens score though...

[Steven Harris]

CM set piece under pressure at scrum and lineout

[frugby]

Commentators calling for the points... they do realise BOP are down by 22 right?

[Donsteppa]

Needed that. The team had been playing like John Afoa's age.

[Steven Harris]

Superb half of footy , best i have seen from Counties Manukau in a long time although after Hawkes Bays epic comeback on Wednesday , i would’nt put it past Bop storming back .

[frugby]

I didn't actually think BOP were necessarily that bad in the first 20, it was more that Counties were exceptional and everything turned to gold. Some slightly soft defence perhaps, but normally they wouldn't have been so far behind.

[Bovidae]

Entertaining.

I hope McMillan is taking notice of ENS at fullback.

The commentators curse by talking up the CM lineout, and then they start losing their throw-ins.

[Steven Harris]

Bop at $4.40 , it was too good to pass up

[Steven Harris]

Replacement Adam Brash for Counties Manukau looks a good prospect

[Donsteppa]

I guess you can't wait 15 minutes to start defending and then expect to win a game of rugby....

[Bovidae]

I thought Thompson was one of CM's best.
