Waikato v Taranaki

[Dice]

Kini looked a lot like prime Waisake with that run.

[Yeetyaah]

I don't think either of those were knock ons? Wramplings one went back and Walden had his hand on the ball the whole time.

[Dice]

Great run by Perofeta.

The Naki have butchered two scoring opportunities.

[Yeetyaah]

Ahahaha Naholo choked a sure try

[Steven Harris]

@yeetyaah looks a bit bulkier compared to a couple of seasons back .

[Yeetyaah]

Why did Waaka kick it rather than just passing?

[Yeetyaah]

Eh Fletcher Smith is a bit shit

[ARHS]

Taranaki exploited the sun very well. Hoisted several kicks directly into it and caused errors. Thought it was a 12 to 15 point wind so I expect Taranaki will be very disappointed despite fantastic goalkicking from Perofeta. Waikato locks and hooker were very prominent and Waaka and Wrampling look dangerous. Best I have seen Kini Naholo play.

[Dice]

There's been some good interplay between the Waikato forwards.

[Yeetyaah]

Taranaki wingers catch the ball challenge

[Yeetyaah]

Good vision from Roe

[Yeetyaah]

Far out how many extra rolls to Taranaki get at the ruck?

[Yeetyaah]

Ratima pushed off the ball there fucking hell Fraser do your job.

[Yeetyaah]

Good pass from Naholo

[Steven Harris]

I cant put my finger on it but Ricky Riccitelli just does not do it for me , staggered that the Blues have signed this guy .

[gt12]

Stupid stupid stupid

[Yeetyaah]

Good game Taranaki. Deserved winners. Waikato too many dropped balls and turnovers.

[Steven Harris]

@yeetyaah watching Waikato has been like watching the Taniwha butchering a game they should have won last night..
Really disappointed with Fletcher Smith ,very ordinary day at the office ..
Well done the Naki

[gt12]

I’d rather see a youngster playing for the Chiefs than Smith, he’s not the future, isn’t a great kicker, and still does really stupid things.

We may as well let a youngster do both of those, who might turn out to be really good.

There's a reason he doesn't play Super Rugby - he isn't any good.
