Waikato v Bay of Plenty

Worth noting that it's been ten minutes since Waikato last scored.

BOP score! Game of two halves potential

35-7 25 mins to go.

They are in again! The teams have changed jerseys at half time

35-12 kick to come

oh man, another good attack from BOP but the bounce didn't favour them. Waikato have gone to sleep

Gawd I love the NPC

Such a bonus not having the Sky commentary crew

I can not believe TTT tried to get the forwards to get them out of their in goal instead of going straight back to the 10 to clear it. Yikes. Lucky he was bailed out with a penalty from Waikato

Was an interesting decision. Panic stations

The old story - no good waiting until half time to start playing.

Oh events started showing up

Late like the Bay

Nice, now we have TSF Bot for mid match sledging too

we may have had ummm technical difficulties

The only question i find myself asking

Why would you have not started Veveni Lasaqa?

Bit quiet in this thread @mariner4life where you at?

Back from the game, and it was definitely a game of two halves. Neither team will be happy with the other half.

From a Waikato perspective, the young players like Stephens, Salabiau and Eti did well. Some of the Waikato players were cramping up in the last quarter, so a make-shift team in the end. But a win to start the competition.

Salabiau looks a prespect. One to keep an eye on.

@mattasaurus Like you mate, stoked to have NPC back, but it is Sky commentary team isn't it?

You could certainly see it was first game of season etc, but both teams settled into it I thought.

I won't be overly confident when I up at New Plymouth next week for the Naki/Waikato game as I thought Waikato looked pretty ok!
