Wellington vs Tasman (RS)

[taniwharugby]

@bayimports mate, given I was 4 the last time we held it, I'll take that!!

Actually, I can see another path for a challenge, but looks tougher...

[bayimports]

@taniwharugby yeah we don't have a great history of winning them either ha ha. Winning lotto probably has better odds than the other way of you getting a challenge!

[Duluth]

Scrappy start

[Stargazer]

Taine Robinson off for an HIA; O'Malley on.

[BerhamporeNinja]

Man we're playing like trash 9 and 10 gna lose us the game ffs

[BerhamporeNinja]

Aidan Morgan is an actual robot 🤦🏽‍♂️

[Duluth]

Kane Hames is awful. The penalty went away because he was playing advantage for the knock on

Good to see the ref notice that type of clean out

[Stargazer]

How did O'Malley miss that?

[Duluth]

Good commitment from O’Reilly

[1kiwi]

What does NZ rugby think they are achieving by holding NPC matches at stadiums like Sky Stadium or Eden Park. Honestly, it's just ludicrous. There were more people at the Four Square I popped into on my way home from work than are at the stadium watching this game.

[Stargazer]

@1kiwi Yeah, Wellington should play their home games at Jerry Collins Stadium or the Hutt Rec.

[taniwharugby]

@1kiwi isnt there requirements for the facilities around lighting for sky, and less of an issue at NPC is the ground facilities for players.

[Stargazer]

@taniwharugby Good point. The lighting requirement might rule out the Hutt Rec (not sure).

[Bovidae]

This has been a low quality game so far.

[Dan54]

@Stargazer yep I was reading somehwere that Hutt lighting isn't up to scratch. Must admit I would prefer they played them in smaller venues.

[Steven Harris]

That was 40 minutes I won’t be getting back .

[Winger]

Orr is on

[BerhamporeNinja]

Poor sub management. Important scrum this

[BerhamporeNinja]

Good scrum .

[Canes4life]

When are we replacing the two midgets in the halves? They are so damn average.
