Wellington v Tasman

[mikey07]

You think JGB would be controlling the game considering it’s his home ground there playing at. Just goes to show how rubbish he is I can’t wait for Morgan and Love to develop.

Proctor trying to outdo Savea in the stupidity stakes.

@KiwiMurph I agree especially as Wellington look toothless.

Its a poor game by Wellington

[mikey07]

Hopefully Savea starts doing something at 12 considering he’s done nothing all game except cost his team 5 pts.

[Winger]

Well scrum is awful today

[Chris B.]

Jeez - that Wellington prop went straight to ground under the posts. Ref gives him a homer!

[Winger]

Connor Collins is playing well

[Winger]

More dumb play by Wellington

[KiwiMurph]

Why would you take the shot in that situation. You are still down 2 scores if you kick it.

[Winger]

Good well scrum with two new props

[Winger]

11-3 but Ta$man are easily the better team

[Winger]

Ta$man score. Rubbish display by Well

[Bovidae]

Hunt >>> JGB in controlling the game.

[Chris B.]

Yeah - that was a good effort, especially by the forwards. Dominant scrum, dominant maul - a few problems with lineout throwing in the gale, but to be expected really.

Shout out to Isaac Salmon, who I thought might be a weak link, but he was excellent in the scrum.

Defense was really aggressive and much of the time Wellington was losing ground with ball in hand.

Hope Havili is OK - not sure there were many arms in the tackle that took him out, but requires a closer look.

[Dice]

Ta$man was more equipped to play in these conditions.

Sione Havili was probably Ta$man's best, while Goosen was Wellington's best.

[mikey07]

Well done to Ta$man completely outplayed us we couldn’t get over the advantage line due to the massive Ta$man defence my 1 gripe with Waenga is the last 10 when Wellington was on attack Ta$man players were laying all over the ball and getting away with it, yeah ok we were dead and buried but that’s not the point, Rant over and again well done to Ta$man on this performance the shield won’t be going anywhere next week.

[Chris B.]

I think we're not quite mathematically safe from relegation - but, we'd need a couple of massive losses to Canterbury and Otago to overturn our points advantage - and a perfect storm of other unlikely things falling into place.

Safe enough, I think! Now we can concentrate on qualifying for the play-offs.

[mikey07]

@Chris-B There’s no way the way your team is playing your going to be any lower then 3rd

We got beaten up front. The problem wasn't JGB today.

[Chris B.]

@mikey07 Hope not - I'm hoping for 2nd.

1st would be a major bonus.
