Exactly. A penalty in front was an 8 pt lead. Game over.
The injury ward will be huge after this game.

Got my game time wrong, so only saw the final 20 minutes.
Maybe I should stop watching - because seemingly, Ta$man was going alright up till then.
But, I tuned in to see the coaches had already almost emptied the bench. Us play about 1000 phases in the Wellington 22 without really getting close to scoring.
Grooby's kicks....
Us be 5 points up with 90 seconds to play (in a knock out match) and get a penalty in front of the sticks, but did anyone have the nous to just drop the ball and take the penalty and the game.
Thankfully JGB!!!
Poor old Mako shark. Probably someone should have put it out of its misery.

Canterbury hold the tie breaker over Ta$man so will finish 3rd with a BP win. BOP need a BP win to finish above Ta$man.
Canterbury notably having had an extra game to accumulate their points. But, NZ Rugby won't worry about trivialities like that.
If, by some miracle we should manage to tip over those Hawkes Bay bastards and end up playing a final in ChCh, I shall return to this theme.

I feel for you 😎

@bovidae It would have - but, it would be nice if, occasionally, the people who get paid quite a lot of money to organize these competitions could actually demonstrate some vague appreciation of fairness.
NZ Rugby has a long history of organizing unfair and unbalanced competitions. I don't think they've been involved in a balanced competition since Super 14 bit the dust.
But, then you look at the draw for this ICC T20 competition. And how the ODI World Cup ended.
Who organizes these things?
How can they be so inept?
