@mikey07 @stargazer
Does anyone have any idea what this Sam Smith guy is like? Only thing I can find out about him is that he has played about twenty games for Wainui over the last two seasons http://www.clubrugby.co.nz/wellington/clubs-teams-people.php?person_id=10731 and a reference to a Sam Smith out of Wairarapa College in 2018 making the NZ Schools Development Camp https://www.facebook.com/WairarapaBushRugby/posts/congratulations-to-sam-smith-wairarapa-college-on-being-selected-for-new-zealand/10157798149273327/ -
@Higgins unfortunately haven’t seen him play yet. Shamus Hurley Langton probably would have been the next guy in for Kirifi but he has been loaned to Manawatu for this season.
There is also Josh Southall but he is injured atm I believe.
-
Wellington deserves to lose for naming their team backwards

@Crucial that was going so well until I scrolled further an discovered counties did it in one of those stupid tiny graphics.

Should’ve gone to specsavers you old bastard. At least they know how to order numbers properly.

Were those a thing the last time counties won the NPC?

Yep. I think that they still were last time Wellington won as well

No wonder I'm having trouble reading them.

@Higgins Sorry for the late reply he’s a hardworking 7 out of Wairarapa College he’s spent the last 2 seasons in the Wainui Prems he’s very much a 7 in the Kirifi mould pretty high workrate...will probably flop now I’ve talked him up haha
-
@mikey07 interesting, there seems to be a few young 7s running around Wellington atm. We also have Josh Southall waiting in the wings who was unoffically ranked the number 1 national schoolboy a few years ago and started alongside Devan Flanders for the NZ schools side. He's seemed to have injury trouble ever since so hopefully next year he finds his feet.
-
@Canes4life tbh I’m quite surprised he has had the call up as he seemed to be at least 3 or 4 years away from that
-
@mikey07 probably a case of having no one else available.
-
Is anyone watching this fixture? Stuck at a place marooned from any Sky connection!
Last I heard it was Counties leading 13 - 08 after about half an hour. Tries to Fosita (Counties) and O'Reilly (Wellington) - showing he still has a good understanding of sniffing out where the white line is. -
13-11 now, from stuff
-
Horrible game so far. Wellington's leaders need to step up, so far Blackwell has been disapointing but continues to get praised by the commentators for his hard work around the paddock.
-
@Canes4life low center of gravity?

Missed the first half. Is Counties playing well? Or is it just Wellington off their game?

And bound to be an "invaluable part of the leadership group" thus untouchable in terms of being dropped a al Reed Princep at the Hurricanes.
-
Counties score straight away. Wellington a bit unlucky with Read taking JGB out as a defender.
-
And Wellington hit back.
Kuridrani made a big mistake coming in.
-
Man Wellington are bad, dumb play all over
-
Counties should've scored there.
Taulani is such a good impact player.
-
Feed the backs you complete morons. How many times have Wellington tried to drive off a line out this year on attack and gone absolutely no where.
We are missing Kirifi big time, Kafatolu is just making up the numbers.
-
@Canes4life not much use when the backs fling it behind their back to no one! But why line out after you monster their scrum? Dunbar
-
@Canes4life Surely with two Super props the team should be able to drive better than you are cursing them for?
-
@Higgins doesn’t help when we are lacking about 20kg in th second row.
Nice try Numia.
-
@Canes4life Halelujah! On that we agree on something at last!
-
Then Aso fucks up an easy try. So bad, such dumb decisions
-
Big moment in the game there.
-
Right decision I felt. There were like 3 Wellington players offside.

For sure, but not goose!
-
Read turning back the clock.
-
Lol then Aso runs with no support, dumb again!
-
Easily Read's best game this season.
-
Lol another go for goose!
-
That one is a try surely.
