What date and time is the game?

Today. 12.05 AEST, so 3.05 NZT

8:05pm for me here in CO, perfect time
Then AB's and cricket all night in case I can't sleep.
I stream it all on firestick/kodi in case anyone ever needs to be able to watch sporting events.

Great timing, just started pissing here.

F U Stan. Just changed the time of the stream pushing it back by 30 mins.

Ffs they’ve got the two most annoying commentators for the final.

I'm in now. It originally said 1230h then said the stream was unavailable and the time moved to 1300h.

I never bother turning a stream on until a few minutes before kick off.

Up da BOP

Savea in early. Good start by Welly.

Is there a strong wind as Trask and Forbes aren't getting much distance with their kicks, giving Wellington territory.

Is there a strong wind in welly? Nah

Sideline said their umbrellas got turned inside out haha

How's that not a penalty?

Piss poor defence by welly, BoP in

"I've got a grounding"

No you don't.

No you don't.

Lol, yeah the player hit the ground

Yeah that was good, but it was the red sea before that

This ref is a turkey.

That kick not so good lol

Good grinding by BoP, but knocked again... Maybe?

Refs hands were going up before Rossy had even got the ball near the line. Preemptive knock on, is this guy from Welly?

7 all

Fucking Apisai.

Good to see Hori Bop in the crowd.

Apisai is so shit lmao

How's Higgins allowed to pick up that ball when there's clearly a fucking ruck?

@Canes4life said in NPC Final: Wellington vs Bay of Plenty:

Fucking Apisai.

Yeah it's pretty bad

Higgins very good

10-7 after 26 mins

Kirifi on the floor impeding the cleaner

Naitoa having a field day at the lineout

This standard of refereeing simply can't be the best available for a final.

Lol high tackle right in front of ref missed

I know the conditions aren't great - but the throwing and options at line out time by the lions are not great so far.

@Machpants said in NPC Final: Wellington vs Bay of Plenty:

Yeah that was a shocker.

Two international refs running the sideline

Why is Tahuriorangi kicking high from the base of rucks into this wind? Just dumb rugby.

If we can’t throw into the lineout, get Hika on.

I think we can safely say this is more than a 3 point wind, welly need to score otherwise BoP will be feeling rather good going into half time

Savea of old right there. Wow
