NPC Final: Wellington vs Bay of Plenty

[Yeetyaah]

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

[Mattasaurus]

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

Yeah that was a shocker.

Two international refs running the sideline

[antipodean]

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

[Canes4life]

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

[Machpants]

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

[Canes4life]

Savea of old right there. Wow

[Mattasaurus]

Winding back the clock the BUS

[Donsteppa]

Poor attempted tackling.

Two special buses, on each wing

Narawa going high on Savea. That's Stevenson type defence.

Yep, it's why neither of them are in Japan right now...

Inexcusable at this level - just piss poor technique

[Machpants]

JGB is not quite Andy Goode, but still!

[Canes4life]

Around the legs Narawa.

[Canes4life]

Superb turnover from Kirifi.

[Machpants]

Narawa offside at the turn over ruck, then tackles shields around the head... Carry on
