Waikato v Counties

[Bovidae]

That was a very frustrating 1st half as Waikato stuffed up at least four tries through poor options/final passes. I'd be interested to know what the possession/territory stats were.

ENS's try was classy, albeit with the help of some poor Waikato defence.

Happy to get a W.

Could Cruden play Super Rugby next year for the Chiefs?

If there is one position the Chiefs aren't short of, it is 1st 5.

@Bovidae Get him back to the Canes! But is he even staying in NZ? Didn't @WillieTheWaiter say this was a short-term arrangement?

How did McWhannell go?

@Tim

Went off injured shoulder or chest by the look.

@Chris Thanks. Not great to hear for the Blues.

[Bovidae]

@Tim McWhannell was playing well and made a couple of those trademark runs in the midfield. He went off in the 2nd half, as did Wrampling, which looked like a similar injury.

@Tim
Hopefully is it not to bad,He has had his fare share of injuries.
