Reon Paul back for Bop. Is Waikato waiting to see if Finau Jacobson and Dmac or ALB are released by Razor?

[Bovidae]

It's a copy and paste team list.

Maybe Saifoloi could be available, along with a few others who were missing last round.

[ARHS]

Hoping their strongest teams are put out, with lots of very promising and exciting young players and a few AB XV contenders. Keen to go and watch this, but the venue is pretty poor, especially if weather is not good.

[OomPB]

We dont get any streaming in SA. The one match Waikato must win.

[Bovidae]

Tucker is back, and some other changes.

[mariner4life]

Hopefully I'll get to this one with my dad

[hikastags]

Anyone else think Waikato is wasting their time with Mathis on the wing? Should be playing every game at 7.

[mariner4life]

I like this reserve winger for Waikato who just likes folding fluffybunnies

[ploughboy]

[Yeetyaah]

What the fuck am I watching.

They don't have any other outside cover after LCF went down with an injury at training.

[Bovidae]

That was a woeful 1st half from Waikato. Talk about not playing to the conditions and holding onto the ball.

Fair enough.

I think considering the regular season is only a measly 10 games now for NPC, every game is important for his development at 7.

[Bovidae]

Moorby must be injured too.

[Yeetyaah]

This might be the shittest Waikato performance since 2017

[antipodean]

Meanwhile Bailyn walks in a try from the slowest ruck ball sequence - all self imposed too.

[Bovidae]

Waikato is so inconsistent this year. You wouldn't see this many basic errors in a school game. Sopoaga has been ordinary in recent games, and dumb play from Roe and Cruden too.

As Filipo is moving on I would like to see a complete refresh of the coaching staff. The forwards need to play with a harder edge and clearly Adam Thomson isn't the man for this.
