3 - Counties Manukau's 49-41 victory vs Tasman yesterday was the third #BunningsNPC match in 2025 with an aggregate score of 90+ points; only the 2017 (4) & 2002 (4) seasons have had more such matches since the beginning of 2000. Exhilarating.

20 - Mark Tele'a made 20 carries in Rd 9 #BunningsNPC 2025; only Shaun Stevenson (22 vs Taranaki R8 2022) & Pita Ahki (21 vs Manawatu R6 2013) have made more in a match for North Harbour since Opta began collecting the data in 2011. Grind.

1 - Devan Flanders (Hawkes Bay) made 20 carries, 19 tackles & won three turnovers in Round 7 of the 2025 #BunningsNPC - he's the first player to record 20+ carries, 10+ tackles & win more than two turnovers in a match since Opta began collecting this data in 2011. Everywhere.
54 - Only once Counties Manukau have recorded a bigger winning margin in #BunningsNPC match as the away team than their 54-point win (64-10) against Southland yesterday (59 - def. Mid Canterbury 65-6 on 23 August 2003). Cruising.
Hawke's Bay over Bay of Plenty. Things I love to see. Up the Magpies!
We are THE bay!
And, once again, the Steamers is a TERRIBLE name for a team.

2020 - Counties Manukau's 22-19 victory vs North Harbour last night came after trailing at halftime (7-11); it's the first time the Steelers have overcome a halftime deficit to win since 1 November 2020 vs Taranaki (31-27, trailed 10-12 at HT). Spirited.

7 - Bay of Plenty's 19-7 win vs North Harbour tonight is the 1st time since 25 Sep 2015 (37-5 vs Northland) they've kept their opponent to fewer than 10 points in #BunningsNPC away game; it's the 2nd time Steamers have done this on the road vs North Harbour (14-9, 10 Oct 2004). Grind.

1 - Each of Waikato's last 4 wins in #BunningsNPC have been by a 1-point margin; it's the longest run of wins by one point in the history of the competition. Specialists.

L Coltman (R17 2013)
20 - Manawatu's Brayden Iose & Ngani Laumape each made 20 carries in R3 of 2025 #BunningsNPC; it's only the 2nd time since the start of 2012 a forward & back from the same team have made 20+ carries. Teamwork.

as long as I live, I'm not sure I'll understand how Waikato ended up winning that game, but what a game!
