Canterbury v Tasman

[Duluth]

Cantabs up 3-0 after 7mins. Ta$man have been under a bit of pressure early

[Duluth]

Solomon Alaimalo with his 5th province

Is that the record? Pleasants-Tate Also played for 5 provinces

[Bovidae]

@Duluth Nah, Rico Gear for the win.

[Duluth]

@Bovidae

Yeah 7 teams.. Nelson becoming part of Ta$man helped

5 of the current 14 teams seems to be a record

[taniwharugby]

that was a superb Canterbury try

[Canes4life]

That Chay Fihaki guy is bloody hopeless. How does he keep his spot?

[Stargazer]

Mataele running a great line there, straight through a hole in the Ta$man defence. Awesome try.

[taniwharugby]

Alaimalo looked quick running into that gap

[Stargazer]

@taniwharugby Was it Alaimalo (so not Mataele)? Don't know how I confused them.

Edit: ah, my stream is way behind. This try was Alaimalo's.

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer sorry I meant after the lineout steal, Bell passed to Alaimalo who ran into a gap

[Stargazer]

@taniwharugby So Alaimalo scored two tries? The radio commentators are regularly confusing players, and that is confusing me!

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer no...was just a nice angled run at pace.

Gotta say Aumua has been average this year, his trick hasnt really been upto much.

[taniwharugby]

Awful end to the half culminating by Canterbury conceding a pen right in front of the posts

[frugby]

George Bell been very good for Canterbury. Good to see him back to his best.

[Chris B.]

Totally dysfunctional lineout. One mistake Eddie didn't make is picking Kaitu'u - but, his coaches and callers haven't helped him.

What a fucking shambles.

Last five minutes have us closer than we deserve to be.

[frugby]

@Chris-B Reckon that is kind to Kaitu'u. Throws were just straight awful most of the time.

[Chris B.]

@frugby Don't know why they were doing all the dancing about. Just throw the ball to PPP at 2.

[taniwharugby]

nice break by Hotham there

[Chris B.]

Back in it!

[Stargazer]

Great comeback from Ta$man.
