hard to see them losing 3 on teh bounce
-
how good would this have looked at Jerry Collins stadium..?,any flood lights at that ground and if so what’s the quality like..?
-
@Steven-Harris They are excellent floodlights but with the corwd present tonight even at Porirua it would look sparse. Probably be able to accomodate this number of spectators at some place like Lyndhurst Park (Tawa) or Helston Park (Johnsonville) to make the crowd like sizeable. Obviously not a lot of attraction for the fans to turn up to watch two teams that have not won a game between them all season!

Fifita and Goosen amungst 4 late changes for Wellington
-
Why Wellington play in the cake tin I have no idea. It's way too big. A bit like Eden Park is too
-
Amua providing some more plays for his highlight real with his handoffs
-
@DrivingMaul Amun’s strength is outrageous..have a seat Luke Ramano..!

You won't be seeing any highlights for his lineout throwing.
JGB's passing has been shite.
-
Have Wellington caught a kick all night??? Really poor

This is more what I remember of Mitre10 rugby at this level; poor skills and not great to watch.
So many teams hav ebeen good; it's disappointing to see this
-
More like tough watching rather than a game between 2 tough teams

I think Wellington would benefit greatly by subbing Renata off, bringing T Umaga Jensen on and moving Proctor to Fullback. Renata is just so sluggish now.
Plus are the commentators legally allowed to call the Cake Tin - Sky stadium just yet?

this game's a mess. quite frankly the level has downgraded this year.
Rather than the level of rugby going down generally, I think there's more been a shift to other teams. Canterbury is suffering from its own success (losing a lot of players to the ABs in recent years); Wellington has always gone up and down over the years (they're clearly worse this year). But other teams have become better the last few years and play exciting rugby. Tasman being the best example, but also Auckland. Same in the Championship division.
-
Wellington have started the second half all guns blazing.
-
Great to see some great pop kicks in behind the defence, not always a percentage play but they are great at keeping defences guessing
-
The most embarrassing thing to hear about your team when playing Wellington:
"won against the throw by James Blackwell"
-
I've been really pleased with Hauiti Parapara. Wellington really going well now. Aumua, Fidow and Numia really dominant in their ball carrying. Good signs for the Canes bench next year.
-
@Stargazer Laban fanboys everyone. It's highly annoying listening to, especially when he needs to mention every school, every single player played for.
