      A little taster, while we await the entrance of the defending champions.

        And, being even handed, the former AB coach comments on the opposition's chances....

            @bayimports Wait till Cricket season comes....there's going to be searing commentary on the composition of that Northern Districts team and how it's funded (how many fucking games at Bay Oval....)?

                          @taniwharugby Cheating on the sunshine hours title, though...

                          Jeez...that's pretty low calibre. 🙂

                          I hope we've got a decent referee.....

                              @taniwharugby BoP is probably bringing Glen Jackson with them.

                              Which I wouldn't actually mind, because he's easily confused and just referees a homer regardless!

                                          From a watching point of view, sadly this is another one of these games where I hate both teams equally. 😞

                                            I can say the same thing for the Magpies v Inglewood thread. 🙂

                                              Is the added mobility for the Tasman tight five, with 2 locks on the bench, a ploy or are the changes injury-related?? The energy from the BOP bench has certainly been a telling factor in recent matches?

                                                  @ARHS The front row is injury related.

                                                  Not sure why they've switched Coxon and Tu'ungafasi, but Makalio and Salmon must be injured - they've been first choice pretty much all season (except when Lomax was available).

                                                  Not sure whether Ainley is injured or they're just preferring Cirikadaveta and Ross. I thought Cirikadaveta at blindside was a good selection in terms of adding size. There's only one lock on the bench.

                                                  Backs are the best we have with Nankivell injured.

                                                  A bit down on strength, but it's only the MMMBoppers! 🙂

                                                    build up report, not even the media can find a Bay team list even at this stage of the season..

                                                      @bayimports a good read. While no team lists, the Facebook page does tell us that Mike Delany could still be emergency injury cover if needed. 🙂

                                                        BOP team out now. Kane Leaupepe is not there. Injured?? Or is this a decision based on the Tasman forward selections? Otherwise full strength from recent weeks.

                                                        Looks to me like it will be an enthralling game. I was worried Tasman might try to maul and muscle BOP up front, but looks fairly evenly matched now
