BOP v Tasman

[KiwiMurph]

Gee BOP have been impressive today

[barky1]

@KiwiMurph the makeshift midfield has done well

[KiwiPie]

Really felt we were starting to crumble when Ta$man eventually scored but we've been superb since then.

Far outplayed their big name opponents

@KiwiMurph money can't buy heart

[KiwiMurph]

Hardly a performance by Blackadder that screams pick me ABs. And usually he dominates at this level

[Duluth]

37-7

Biggest margin of the weekend so far

[Dan54]

Enjoyed that, well worth coming home early from golf club to watch. The Bay were every bit as good as I thought they would be, and Ta$man a bit perhaps not as good as I expected.

[Bovidae]

In summary:

• Trask lasted 80 mins.
• Another important missed tackle from Havili.

[Grooter]

Congrats BOP really entertaining game from them Leroy, Emoni, Kaleb & Veveni outstanding

[KiwiPie]

Really impressed by the Bay defence today. Made it hard for Ta$man to cross our line and when the tide turned we finished them off nicely. Definitely helps that so many are in super rugby so we don't have to keep rebuilding the squad.

[SouthernMann]

With that Ta$man backline I did not see that coming

[BellsGeorg]

@KiwiMurph He's just working his way back from a health thing that is being kept private (i.e not an injury) but it sounds like it was really kicking his ass. He probably shouldn't be in the ABs selection frame until that's well and truly behind him.

What a result for BOP!

to be fair if he plays like today he shouldn't be in contention

[sparky]

Smoked.

[BellsGeorg]

@ploughboy for sure, just saying I wouldn't look at him too harshly for being a little slow to ramp into form. It's to be expected. He's spent basically the entire gap between Super and NPC aggressively treating something pretty serious, from what I've been told.
