Waikato vs Wellington

[Stargazer]

Unbelievable scoreline in this game. Indeed a game of two halves.

Wellington was really good in the first, but Waikato was also really poor.

In the second half, Wellington lost a few important players, and Waikato woke up and started playing, and playing well.

Weird, but entertaining game.

Well played Waikato.

Will be interesting to see what the team looks like next week with half the squad now injured.

[Hooroo]

Well that was ridiculously satisfying. I can’t believe that come back.

[Hooroo]

The Waikato lads must have fucking sore arses as the coach must have kicked shit out of them at half time

[Stargazer]

@hooroo Haha, yes, that's what I was thinking. Sore ears from the yelling, too!

Its a concern now. 4 of our best props are likely out. Maybe our top three firsts. Based on the 2nd hald Wellington will struggle until they get players back

[Canes4life]

@winger so the injured props for Wellington now are Numia, Fidow, Cowan, Armstrong, Sheck.

I suppose when it rains it pours. That bloke that came on for Fidow looked like a presidents grade player.

Also no Love, Morgan or Garden-Bachop so we don’t have a game driver either.

You'd think this was a final with how badly Wellington are choking.

Hopefully we’ve got our choke out of the way then. 😜

[Yeetyaah]

Never in doubt. Fucking great second half from Waikato. Wellington skipped their halftime oranges.

@hooroo No it wasn’t a comeback or a choke it was just super easy to score down one end😂 nah well done if it’s one team that can blow a lead it’s Wellington.

I take exception to that comment Pressies grade is very tough I should know I play it.

[mikey07]

It’s amazing we contract Laursen to play 10 yet Alosio was at 10 ridiculous where’s Morgan?

I wanna disagree. But I can't...

[mikey07]

@canefan You should be used to it by now if I recall last year we did the same against Canterbury. Like you said earlier hopefully that’s our one choke out the way.

[Canes4life]

Wellington are the biggest chokers in NZ rugby, we’ve got so used to it that it’s become the norm.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but after 8 failed finals appearances since 2000 I think us fans deserve a medal to still be backing this lot.

When I die I want the Wellington Lions to attend my funeral so they can let me down one last time.

Bizarre match. Thought Waikato in trouble with two rookie front rowers after a few minutes. Savea Love Kirifi and Fidow very good. Didn't think PUJ did much though.
But second half was dominated by Samepeni Finau and James Tucker playing like men possessed. Hard lines Wellington but the subs were a step down.

[Hooroo]

Did Wellington drag their captain and Kirifi or were they injured and had to come off??

[Stargazer]

@hooroo Kirifi is the captain and I don't think he was injured when he left the field.
