Game day. For some reason the Test last night has made me even more nervous about today. Looks 50/50 “on paper”, but another great early summer's day in Tauranga and a home crowd might just tip it our way.
Good to see Chase Tiatia back in the lineup. Hopefully the team physios are being well paid this season! 😁

First injury list I can remember seeing - from Sun Live:
Unavailable due to injury:
Hugh Blake
Aaron Carroll
Kane Le'aupepe -
It's a lovely day in Tauranga, the beers slipped down smoothly and it's time to head to the ground.
This message is to make up for the fact that I will be too tense, angry, celebratory for the next 2 hours to post.
-
Battle of the Blues hookers today.
-
Harbour has the maul rolling.
7 - 0
-
Bryn Hall running the show out there.

This game is gone.

Is the BoP team still in the changing sheds?

To use the language of last night; Harbour are playing like they want it more than the Bay.
Curiously no big screen at the ground today.
-
No way that guy was on his feet.
-
What's the video ref referal for?
-
@Donsteppa Possible high tackle, I think.
Accidental collision on half back actually.
-
What a bullshit call, the academy award goes to Luke Campbell..
-
Joe Webber is a legend.
-
What a take from Webber!
-
-
Put it out!
-
Shit this is a good game. Harbour power and structure against Bay invention. Tough to call.
-
Harbour should replace Page - he's struggling on defence.
-
Yet another Luteru Tolai try from a rolling maul.
-
What a game this is.
-
Massive obstruction there.
-
Too many mistakes in the middle of the park. Kick for the corners.
-
Go the clock! Stop the count!! GO THE BAY! 😊
-
BOP have got the backs.
-
BOP bench has been good.
-
Bugger
-
Awesome!!!! Safe and third!!!!
That looked toast at 21 - 0 and down to 14. But THE BAY!!!
Still go Auckland - Harbour deserves to stay up on that entertainment value today alone. A great game.
-
So that's Wellington out of the semis?

Come on Auckland save your region and beat Canterbury.

Don't remind them, they spent the 90s and early 2000s constantly doing this to stop our promotion.

@mariner4life Those sevens players were good value.

Tauranga is doing quite well like that. Good for the AB sevens though.
ND in the cricket have "attracted" a few too.

Yep, I think a lot of players in both sports are attracted by setting up home in the Mount near the high performance centre at Blake Park.
Have seen Kane Williamson at the nearby cafe and at New World, and have somehow managed to not interrupt him and ask him for an autograph

Nearby cafe. I think that counts as a breakfast with him though? Surely.
