NZ Domestic Competitions 2019

Regular goal kicker Brett Cameron doesn't miss from in front, Death Star Stormtroopers 3-0 Harbour.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Peach of a pass from Drummond plus a great line by Ennor equals try-time next to the sticks. Cameron adds the extras, 10-0.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Talea a nice finish in the corner but Stevenson sprays the conversion, Cantabs 10-5 & into that last-10-min period where they often hurt teams.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Josh McKay scores off a kick-pass & offload, Cameron nails it from touch & nek minnit Cantabs 17-5 & in possession so just waiting for the HT siren as a cue to boot it out.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Spectacular finish in the corner for Harbour newbie Qamasea. Hall takes over the kicking duties but pushes it wide, Harbour close to 10-17.

Hall now lining up a PK from almost in front 22 out. Kick is good, 13-17.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Stevenson shells it 5m out & just to his left of the posts. If Cantabs score here I think Harbour will be just about done. Harbour strip the ball off LWhitelock & clear.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Ref gives Cantabs an extraordinary amount of advantage so Harbour back under the pump.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

McKay eventually goes over in the corner & Cameron is on target, 24-13 as the final quarter starts.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Talea bags a double, Hall nails the conversion so it's game on again. Cantabs have used all their back reserves so Drummond appears to be playing wing.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Harbour reserve 9 puts them a point in front, Stevenson resumes kicking but is astray. Harbour 25-24.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Cameron misses a handy one.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Cameron declines the shot from 45 out, puts Cantabs inside Harbour 22. Drive gets inside the 5m & siren has sounded. Advantage Cantabs adjacent to the posts.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Cantabs score. Maybe. TMO to call & if no try I'd imagine Cantabs will get a PK to win it. Replay looks good, try given, Cameron converts. Cantabs 31-25 Harbour & all of Auckland (or the bits South of the bridge) rejoices.

Geez BOP looked bloody good! There is a bit of strike power there, and wondering who will be newbies to pick up Super contracts.
