Waikato v BOP

[Bovidae]

No ALB.

Waikato NPC team named for Bay of Plenty Steamers Clash.

Waikato NPC have named their matchday 23 as they return to FMG Stadium Waikato to face Bay of Plenty Steamers for the...

[ARHS]

And no Taukeiaho either then! Assume Tucker is injured. Could be a fierce battle. BOP won't play so poorly twice in a row.

[Bovidae]

No way ST was ever going to be released to play. ALB was targeting this game for his return. Maybe he's not ready yet.

Tucker and Johnstone must be unavailable.

[ARHS]

@Bovidae they released bench players from last test though so I was hoping. Go figure re Ofa.

good game so far, nice try by Eklund

[taniwharugby]

looked like that was off BOP

[taniwharugby]

that last scrum summed up alot of what is wrong with how scrums are reffed and time wasting.

BOP had a scrum, ball gets to back, ref says ball is back, stable, 5 sec later, scrum starts marching sideways, so ref calls a reset, really need to encourage quicker play from the back, but so many teams play for penalties, they wait for the 2nd drive or a collapse...

BOP take an 8 point lead into the break 14-22

[Yeetyaah]

Jesus Christ Leroy Carter is unreal

[KiwiMurph]

Cook-Savage having a bit of a mare.

[taniwharugby]

14-29 early in the 2nd

[taniwharugby]

wow, what a try for BOP

[antipodean]

Kaka running his winger out of room instead of straightening, giving him the ball and working around in support.

[taniwharugby]

great scramble by BOP defence, Waikato looked to be scoring for all money

[Yeetyaah]

Ref missing a lot. Waikato were on the line there.

[antipodean]

Bay supporters: How the hell did we lose that?

[Duluth]

Ran out of gas because of storm week?

Entertaining game

[taniwharugby]

stole the lineout, lost the match?

[taniwharugby]

35-34, time almost up

[taniwharugby]

@taniwharugby said in Waikato v BOP:

35-34, time almost up

and that was FT...cliffhanger!
