Bay of Plenty captain Colin Bourke has apologised for comments made after his team's 39-41 loss to Tasman in last Sunday's national provincial championship rugby match in Blenheim.

Bourke was scathing in his assessment of the match officials but yesterday the Bay of Plenty Rugby Union and Bourke issued a formal apology for his remarks.
