Waikato v Taranaki

[Bovidae]

Two changes to the Waikato reserves:

Ayden Johnstone -> Mason Tupaea
Malachi Wrampling -> Te Rama Reuben

Wrampling and Sullivan have also swapped positions.

From a distance, those Taranaki alternate jerseys look a lot like Wellington's jerseys.

Maybe it is part of their gameplan as the ones their Development side wore yesterday were a very close resemblance to those worn by the HB Development team. Made for a bit of confusion amongst the supporters in the stand when it was often difficult to tell the teams apart.

[Stargazer]

Good team try.

[Duluth]

Great try Waikato. Anderson did well not to have a second attempt. Tucker was in position to play halfback after the long break

[booboo]

Kini Naholo goes ok?

He the next big thing on the wing?

[Stargazer]

Wow, great try to Taranaki. Naholo's 2nd. That kick was very good.

[Stargazer]

Dangerous dive from Naholo on the Waikato player.
A few others going to the bin for that punch up.

[Stargazer]

Naholo lucky.
Florence the only one to go to the bin.

[Steven Harris]

How quick is Lennox..?

[Stargazer]

@Steven-Harris Fast, but he was also competing with a forward. No contest.

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer was more about where he came from when the kick was made , everyone was pretty flat footed, picked up the spoils for a very good chase

[Stargazer]

Waikato are having a bit of a mare.

[Stargazer]

Perofeta's kicking hasn't improved.

[J77]

Who's the comments guy? Referring to the ref as Dan "Wanger"..surely someone's put him up to that!

Taranaki look the real deal this year. Making up for last years shocker..

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer when you consider their roster , if you were a Waikato supporter you have to be very disappointed.
Full credit to Taranaki 4 from 4 and top of the log

@J77 Isaac Boss , fair to say he struggled

I had to laugh.. set piece became set police a few times as well

@J77 the replacement lock for Taranaki Fiti Sa is a monster , loan player from Canterbury 2.03m 124kgs , only 20 reminds me of Kali Vaipulu very similar in stature and age
