Kicking off soon

Maul defence was disorganised by Taranaki

7-0 BOP

Nice try Taranaki. Everyone was watching Jacomb

Big lead to BOP now 28-10

Interesting to see Narawa caught from behind by JRK

@Duluth he could have gone for the corner, but was aware of his support to get a try by the posts. He lacks top end speed, but makes up for it with a better rugby brain than most wingers

A fairly comfortable win for BoP. Naki beat them in a preseason game withe Cane scoring twice

Narawa seemed to look for his support quite early on that run. A group of either mates or his rugby club mates sitting nearby gave some good natured stick in his direction for getting caught though

The BoP 23 showed some gas for his second try.

On Friday I saw him nearly beaten in a sprint by some primary school kids - embarrassing. Real time at the game I think he knew the pass was the best option early on, I still think he could have gassed the chaser if he'd dug it in. Comfortable win although I didn't think we looked all that much better, just took the opportunities that came along.
