Carrol and Emoni injured I guess, glad other injuries were not too bad and ave backed up
-
@bayimports Any news on Narawa’s injury?
-
@Tim no idea from me, have been waiting for something from bop rugby to be posted on all players health all week and nothing as emerged. Maybe someone closer might have a better idea, as I would like to know too!
-
Finding the lack of info a bit exasperating. No Leroy Carter, Trask, Karpik, Ross, or Forbes either. Some odd backline selections given the centre and fullback options. Just hope they can click better than last week.
-
Stags full of running
-
nice try by The Bay, although it was started by a blatant forward pass right in front of the ref, great continuity after that
-
Combinations taking a while to gel across the park. And another injury in the squad, this time to Eklund.
-
Two thoughts:
I'm genuinely surprised the TAB had the BoP at -24.5 favourites in this one. Southland were decent last week.
The commentators said they're surprised Selby-Rickit missed the All Blacks team. Personally it's hard to see the ABs selecting someone who has a recent conviction involving kicking someone in the head resulting in a fractured jaw.
-
Great finish Amanaki Nicole.
-
After watching Boshiers sensational performance,is Sam Cane playing ..?
-
@Steven-Harris Oh give it a rest mate Boshier was only up against Canterbury
-
@African-Monkey haha
-
@African-Monkey he looks sharp
-
Great work Southland ..
-
BOP look awful. TTT is in All Black consideration?
Is Sam Cane out there?
-
And again! GPT can't stop scoring these days! Love the confidence shown by Southland turning down shots at goal.
-
@Tim Spoke too soon haha.
-
Nice try.
A worry that some Warren Gatland-like disjointedness has seeped across the Kaimai ranges from the Chiefs, but fingers crossed for the second half.
-
Southland showing they are no longer the easy beats of previous seasons..Dale McLeod has done an awesome job revamping the club comp and also getting some quality signings ..
-
Why is tiatia not at fullback and garland on
-
Thwaites is having an extremely good year.
-
Southland have some bloody decent yet unknown backs.
-
Ref calls tackle, Southland guy rips it, he calls knock on?
-
@Steven-Harris Bringing all his Sydenham players down haha.
-
@African-Monkey well rumour has it, Solomon Alaimalo left Northland when McLeod didnt get re-signed with us, so assume he had a say in his brother going to Southland?
-
@Bones known in sevens circles lol
-
Geez I feel like Southland's received a bit of a raw deal at the breakdown so far.
-
@African-Monkey I thought they were very hard done by at the previous scrum and the last scrum proved that , it was Steamers that was under pressure ..all undone GPT..dumb..!
-
Stupid from GPT to get sent off for back-chat. Could cost his team dearly.
-
Great Southland defence again! Good to see grandad out there again.
-
@African-Monkey uncle Fester
-
@African-Monkey great heart from the Stags..which makes that GPT card piss you off.
-
@Steven-Harris agreed. Those fresh legs in the front row bolstering the 7 man d3fence
-
Sam Cane is having a mare.
-
@ARHS is there an All Black captain out there directing things for a team with a one man advantage..?
-
@ARHS said in BOP v Southland:
@Bones known in sevens circles lol
Yeah not sure Eade and the winger have done too much sevens...
-
How the fuck did Otere Black miss that?
