Canterbury finish top qualifier in ITM Cup

I think that the teams from the non-Super rugby bases always have an uphill battle with limited resources. Given that injury has meant plenty of third choice players starting this year for Bay of Plenty, they'd have to be happy with 6th place.

Nothing wrong with Nutbrown and Noakes, they're just back from long-term injury themselves, but they do struggle behind an underpowered scrum. Having said, good to see a couple of 20 year olds get a chance in the front row.

Counties flame doused by Makos

Tasman are becoming a good side - hardworking and fly under the radar, they box well above their weight

Rampant Canterbury back on top

Lethal performance alright - Canterbury do look the goods. The Bay struggle away to Canterbury at the best of times so I'd say another five points in the Canterbury Bank.

The failure to beat Taranaki is the only real blot on their season (so far). That and the loss to Tasman show that real mental toughness is still not quite there

Tasman leave Bay of Plenty vulnerable

Looks like I spoke a little too soon. HB have another two games this week to collect the necessary points to stay up. Then, if it comes to that the Bay have to do their worst in the last game of the regular season...

Hawke'sBay edge ahead in Manawatu gale

Just when I was getting comfortable with the idea of Bay of Plenty playing in the second tier, Hawkes Bay do them a massive favour. It's rapidly becoming a competition between the two least deserving sides of who will stay up. Manuwatu played good rugby though and were worthy winners

Agree completely Judea: Toby Arnold was really missed at the back, and Burke was also a huge loss. The whole 8,9,10 dynamic from last year was lost and it really showed in the backline

Vulnerable? Are you serious? They're dead and buried.

"Leon Power - cool name, **** player. " LOL.

Kenny Lynn hasn't answered too many prayers either....

Tasman out to good lead in Nelson

The Bay were awful tonight, but I didn't hear them make any excuses.

When are Poverty Bay playing next, IAM?

Regretting those predictions much?

The Bay have been awful in this first half. Not even close to their performance last Sunday. 2nd Division beckons...
