The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, The Score

upton_nutbrownThe Good:
1. Jamie Nutbrown: the next BoP All Black
2. Murray Williams looking more confident at fullback
3. Dominating possession and territory in the first half into the wind
4. Our scrambling defence
5. ANOTHER WIN!

The Bad:
1. Tackling too high and ineffectually

The Ugly:
1. Colin Bourke. Mucking around in the in-goal and blowing a try. Just plain dumb.  
2. ANOTHER yellow card (Colin Bourke) for a Steamers loose forward...
3. The second half. Tonu'u asked Ben Castle in the after match interview about us stopping playing rugby in the second half...

The score:
Bay of Plenty 23 (Nutbrown, Tahana tries. Delany 2 conversions and 3 penalties). Tasman 17

afoa_try_hb06BoP 7 - Northern Otago Development XV 25.
One of the joys of being an unofficial website is the role of being an unashamed cheerleader - not to mention the fun of getting stuck into the opposition. Unfortunately every now and then we need to give our own a brackbat, be it the Union or the players, and at the moment our backline needs a rocket. As one BoP Mafia forum poster noted, "our million dollar forward pack gives ball to hundred dollar backs to watch it constantly squandered."

On the basis of the two Air NZ Cup games to date, we have a forward pack who can beat any team in the comp, but the backline is another story.

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
