But Christie scores a try and the good guys take the lead 32 - 28 with two mins left

[Kiwias]

What a bizarre choice -- a little grubber kick by the Bay hot on attack and time up. Canterbury clear it to touch and take the win.

But Christie scores a try and the good guys take the lead 32 - 28 with two mins left

And that's how it ends.

Why on earth did the Bay player kick that??

Utterly weird play

[Gumboot]

That was a quality game, and a really good fight back from Canterbury.

I thought they may have left it a wee bit too late.

[Torquemada 1420]

Way to blow a game Hawkes. Not sure why there seemed no suitable sub for McLutchie either.

[Kiwias]

Amazing TMO decision to award a try to Garden-Bachop after a superb covering tackle in the corner by Reece.

9 rounds then the semis and final.

Thanks, RS tomorrow then defence 14 for the Bay

[Kiwias]

Waikato leading 20 - 10 with 2H in’s left, in a highly entertaining game.

RTS created one try with fancy footwork but the lads from the Tron are looking good

[Enzedder]

Good win over the Evil Empire. Happy happy - joy joy

[Gumboot]

Magpies leading the Stags 24-17 at HT in the Shield challenge. Really entertaining first 40.

[Kiwias]

Magpies stretching the lead, now out to 45 - 17 after 60 minutes. Weber is playing very well, as Mikaele-Tu’u and Flanders

[Kiwias]

The Bay powering on to a lead of 62 - 24 with five minutes to go. Mikaele-Tu’u converts the latest try in his 50th match for the Bay.

That was a great kick!

[Kiwias]

SOme great examples of accurate long passes freeing up the three quarters

[Kiwias]

Southland have played a lot better than the score line of 69 - 24 would suggest

[Gumboot]

HB runs away with it 69-24 to post their 14th defence of the Log.

Thompson deservedly MoM.

[Kiwias]

Not the NPC but in Heartland rugby, Buller score with the last move of the game to win in the Rundle Cup match vs West Coast.

Buller's coach is a lad who played for my rugby club here for a couple of seasons in the early-2000s so it is great to see his team doing well.

Here is a great post-match interview.

After looking a real threat early season, Harbour has fallen away rapidly.

[OomStruisbaai]

The Bay powering on to a lead of 62 - 24 with five minutes to go. Mikaele-Tu’u converts the latest try in his 50th match for the Bay.

The real Bay.

Manawatu had their best game of the season but still went down 33 - 42 against Counties-Manukau.

Highly entertaining match.

[Gumboot]

Just caught the highlights of Counties-Manukau vs Manawatu.

By jeez Cam Roigard's a classy young halfback.

[Gumboot]

Twins Thomas and Peter Umuga-Jensen about to face off at no.12 for Otago and Wellington respectively.

[Gumboot]

...And Thomas is off injured after the very first play of the game. The poor guy's made of glass.

[Kiwias]

I reckon the ref should give a free card against any player flapping his arms for some supposed infraction by the opposition.


















Yes, I refer particularly to TJP

Capitalists ahead 26-14 at HT.

Think I've asked this before, but does anyone know if Henry Bell and George Bell are related?

I can’t find any mention of their being related.

I can’t find any mention of their being related.

Neither can I, but they look similar and they're about the same size and close in age...

[Gumboot]

Four minutes to go and Ioane thinks it's a good idea to try a little chip kick on halfway. WTF?

[Gumboot]

Wellington holds on 32-26.

Not a bad curtain-raiser.

And both were born in Otago and George went to high school in Dunedin

I'm usually in favour of innocent until proven guilty, but in this case that's more than enough evidence for me.

Go, Taniwha!

[Guy Smiley]

The only thing wrong with this Taniwha v Canty game is fucking Justin Marshall.

Sparkling play from both sides.

Statement game from Canterbury.

[Guy Smiley]

Pretty emphatic in the end but the Taniwha were right in it really, until they weren't.
