Retarded by Auk to kick the ball away there (Plummer?).

Seems to be open season on Canterbury halfbacks. Drummond last week, and this week O'Keefe appears to think it's perfectly alright to repeatedly take Heinz out without the ball. While at the same time finding all sorts of highly technical offenses by both sides...
Great defense by the good guys at the end of 1H

We just had a view of a BoP lineout from across the ground and the throw wasn't straight.
O'Keefe was happy with that, but he's pinged Canty twice for not throwing straight.

Had to run that back then rather than kicking for touch or kick deep.

Well, he called that one not straight. And Steamers blow (ahem) their last, slim chance.

Gonna be an interesting final. Welly will offer more attacking threat than Steamers but nowhere near the same physicality in defence. Weather will be a factor methinks: if it's wet/windy, adv Cant.
