NPC - news, injuries etc

[Stargazer]

It looks like Jacob Kneepkens has scored in the corner for Taranaki.

Taranaki 5 - 7 Waikato

[Daffy Jaffy]

@Stargazer It is Webber.I think this is the look he was going for -

[trooa]

Yupp BOP starting team was Thwaites, Vella, Mafileo, Leaupepe, Carroll, Blake, Kaprik, Tupe, Campbell, Black, Fuatai, Tiatia, Skipwith-Garland, Webber, Narawa. Tiatia got injured, surprisingly for me Curry came straight on at 12 rather than moving Webber in to centre.

HT scores:

BOP 19 - 21 Counties Manukau
Taranaki 5 - 7 Waikato

[Bovidae]

Taranaki has dominated possession for most of the 1st half.

Osborne looking like your typical Fijian winger. He should have scored in the first couple of minutes.

@Bovidae How have Roe and Reihana gone?

[Bovidae]

Roe has looked OK with what ball he has had. Box kicking well.

Reihana scored the try and has made a few line breaks. Missed a kick to touch though.

[Stargazer]

The Counties fullback just scored a very good try. Whoever plays in jersey no. 25 missed the conversion.

BOP 19 - 26 Counties Manukau

[Bovidae]

Someone scored for Waikato. 14-5.

[Bovidae]

A few Waikato changes too - left winger, fullback and TH prop.

Horrible jersey clash

[Bovidae]

Fletcher Smith is on now.

Waikato with some scrum dominance now.

[Stargazer]

Tavatavanawai has scored for Ta$man. It's 19 - 17 to Canterbury with 1 minute to go.

[Bovidae]

Te Whare is the winger replacement. O'Donnell also on.

Dickinson at halfback. No idea of his background.

[Crucial]

BOP level the scores

[Crucial]

BOP just got a penalty on their 22 and kicked it out about 1m further up field

[OleOleOle]

@Bovidae origianlly from Matamata...i think, now with Fraser Tech

[Bovidae]

No sign of Sullivan yet with all the subs.

[Stargazer]

Counties have scored again and take back the lead: 26 - 33 CM

[Crucial]

CMs turn to score from short range (some awful upright running made it harder than needed)

33-26
