Premiership semi-final: Tasman vs BoP

[KiwiPie]

Just starting to get fired up for this game - let's hope we aren't 21-0 down and a man down after 20 minutes this week.

First semi since 2004 ....

[Donsteppa]

Narawa has been tackling well, but not rolling away.

Ta$man guy was holding him in there

They have a few runners in front of the ball at times, or flat at best.

[taniwharugby]

@Donsteppa yeah alot going on, expect the ref is on information overload

[KiwiPie]

Bloody rolling mauls.

Luke Campbell is a good half back but he's a turnstile in defence

[KiwiPie]

Missing so many tackles. This will get ugly if we don't start making some

This is turning into a game for Tahuriorangi’s more physical presence around the ruck.

[Donsteppa]

15 misses tackles in 28 minutes is a bad sign, but not too costly on the scoreboard yet (relatively)

[Donsteppa]

Not sure why Havili is relitigating that one...

[taniwharugby]

has to be a YC surely?

A hometown @Chris-B decision?

[taniwharugby]

@Donsteppa lucky I reckon, he still had hold of his feet at the end, so his actions still contributed to him going over.

[KiwiPie]

That was almost a straight yellow for Christie for cynical play

[Donsteppa]

Finlay Christie is the classic angry ginge who in the old days of rugby would have been a deserving magnet for a punch from a grumpy opposing forward. Double professional foul there.

[Donsteppa]

Finally a yellow from Hometown.

[Donsteppa]

Always pass the ball to Joe Webber.

[taniwharugby]

finally!!

Made hard work of that, but good patience

[Donsteppa]

13 - 7 to Ta$man after 38 minutes. Feels a fair reflection of the game so far

[KiwiPie]

Another quick try before HT?

No ...
