As a Hamiltonian since 1972, naturally I'm disappointed with the result, but mitigated somewhat by seeing my all time fave player Julian Savea (just ahead of Beegee Williams) back in action and scoring a try. Anyways, great game, exciting finish, and congrats Wellington on a first rate all-round performance. Now that Waikato is out of the comp, I'll be cheering for you guys !!
the finals of days gone by of Canterbury vs Wellington have been tense, now we have to do it in the semi's...heart in mouth already...I'm sure the red & black are readying for it right now👍❤
I think NPC teams could beat most of the international teams outside the top 10. But to say they’d beat any of the 6 Nations teams (maybe Italy), Australia, South Africa, Argentina, or even Fiji is a little overreach
I have to agree. all blacks are clearly the best in the world when they want to be. New Zealand rugby strives on confidence, for example with Italy we had all the confidence in the world but when we go against France or Ireland our confidence depletes and we look mediocre.
Fair enough. I was being a bit parochial I know :) I thought that after I posted but while I could have edited the comment I thought - what the f,. Let it stand. @@chrissywriight
Great defence at the end Wellington. 32 phases defended then forced the error. Brilliant 💛🖤

3x PLEASE RELEASE LET ME GO SAYS REF
That last penalty for wellington in front of their posts is such a bad call from the referee
wasnt side entry by the lions at all
and definitely a clear release :/
Wasnt offside by Waikato at all
Yup def was
I thought the last try for Waikato should've been a yellow card. But great game
Superb game 👏🏻👏🏻 unlucky Waikato
Packed crowd
Up da Lions! 🦁🦁🦁❤❤❤
I was here
Up the Wions
Yikes Julian looked very ponderous and out of shape. Saving his best for Moana Pasifika I guess.
Longest final play not good for hearts of Lions supporters
Season saving turnover from Delany
You know, any of these NPC teams could probably beat most of the top ten international teams.
totally agree, this quarter finals games are better than most RWC games
You dreaming mate...
