TJ constantly getting names wrong. He needs to be retired

And that should secure the result. Great effort to support rewarded with a try. Crusaders defence looking tired now.

So is Canterburys

That was impressive by the Bay. Hope they go all they way

Nah he correctly called Fihaki when he missed touch, then when Fihaki got the ball in the next play from the lineout he called him Punivai - which is pretty fucked as they look different and Fihaki was fucking wearing headgear! Plus Punivai was outside him 🤣

All the way to Wellington for their second place medal.

[KiwiPie]

Fantastic! That is all

[mariner4life]

Never in doubt

Wellington is never a certainty when favourites. Don’t jinx us. 😂

To be fair I'm more worried by BoP than Waikato, but the cauldron that is the 'tin will provide the winning edge.

Empire defeated, but a few more injuries, hopefully nothing serious, just making the final special. Great work by usual suspects and how the fuck so many of that opposition is AB rated is beyond me, even our reserve wingers looked better than Fihaki

Ah Khoi is a machine

[Dan54]

Geez that was good wasn't it? A worthy watch after the Heartland final, some of those tries were stunning!! The Bay will take some beating in final.

[Duluth]

[Donsteppa]

Uncharted territory looms. A great week ahead.

[KiwiPie]

That second half from the Bay was epic. Just so solid. Sorry getting emotional here. Carter's try in the corner will go down in Bay folklore

[barky1]

Brilliant game. Shame Waikato couldn't have got a win. Not sure I've said that before

By geez it was great watch as a neutral, maybe I leant towards the Bay, there something about that team I really like, Pretty solid from 1 to 15 and just a bit of X factor thrown in to make them a real fun team to watch. I really happy if they win the whole thing , though I still really quite neutral.

[Smuts]

As a neutral, it was satisfying to watch Canterbury lose.

[ARHS]

Great atmosphere at the ground. Bop is a genuine 23 man effort team, but has 3 game breakers. Ah Kuoi, Carter and Narawa are constant threats at this level. Amazing try by Carter.
Fihaki McLeod Gallagher Grace etc did not provide the edge they need to given their national recognition.
I hope the BOP game breakers can inspire the other 20 around them to their very best next week and bring back the title.

I found it both satisfying to watch Canterbury lose, and unsatisfying to watch BoP win.
