Much closer than the TAB expected but no result for the Steamers, losing 11-6 to a last minute try to Wellington winger Cory Jane. Still, a bonus point isn't a bad thing... though the draw would have been better. Point scorers for the two teams were:
|
Wellington 11
Cory Jane - Try
Jimmy Gopperth - 2 penalties
|
Bay of Plenty 6
Murray Williams - 2 penalties
|
Some key events by the minute:
10th minute: Penalty to Murray Williams 3-0 BoP
17th minute: Penalty to Jimmy Gopperth 3 all
23rd minute: Williams misses a penalty
28th minute: Gopperth misses a penalty
29th minute: Steve "celebrity ref" Walsh first warns Nili Latu for infringements at the breakdown
32nd minute: BoP wheels Wellington scrum through 90 degrees to win the feed
35th minute: Jeffrey Ierome goes down injured
40th minute: Tana Umaga leaves the field with an apparent broken finger

Why I support the Bay... well there is an easy answer to that... it's where I come from! In this day and age of franchises, players unions and 'the big five', it's often a forgotten fact that you don't buy fans, I am a BOP fan, which we should not forget is short for fanatic, the BOP players don't have my support IF they win, IF they play well or IF they have All Blacks in the team, they quite simply, just have my support because they are my home team.

What brings a 26 yr old English rugby fan with little knowledge of the NPC to support the BoP? Why, you may rightly ask, given his ignorance, doesn’t he choose one of the flashier names, maybe the glamorous Aucklanders, or the perennially Anglicised Canterbury? Why doesn’t he choose Waikato, seemingly, according to Foster at least, BoP’s senior partner in the Chiefs franchise?

My first memory of the Steamers was watching and idolising Eion Crossan back around 1990 when the Bay was in first division the first time. Needless to say it was a fairly tearful day for my brother and I when Bay of Plenty was relegated and 'loyal' Mr Crossan defected to the South Sydney Rabbitohs of all teams, (to this day I don't see how playing for the Rabbitohs could be any better than playing second division NPC). But still we supported.
