Hawkes Bay v Tasman

[Dan54]

Have to say I picked HB for this (heart pick etc) in tipping. Not that I like either team more than other, just need HB to win so the Naki get a challenge in a couple of weeks!!!
This has got the makings of a good un though! I love the NPC, but a shield game just adds to it even more !!!

An article about Ben O'Donnell in the newspaper today. His parents are Kiwis (now living back in Levin) and he is the cousin of Declan and Kylem. It was Brumbies teammate Ollie Sapsford who organised for him to go to HB, as a replacement for himself.

Kicking off now

John McEnroe can't kick

[Duluth]

Handy early lead to Ta$man

8-0 after 11mins and HB on a warning

[Duluth]

Tavatavanawai with 7 defenders beaten already

Probably another one just then

[Duluth]

Why did Aumua throw that so hard? He did all the hard stuff, gets his hands free then throws like a tard

[Duluth]

19-5 at HT

Feels like Ta$man should be ahead by more

[Bovidae]

Renton really doesn't like his ex-teammates.

HB have points in them, they just need to get down the other end of the field.

Impressive from Ta$man

I don't mind Ant Strachan on commentary but does he keep saying "peace of mind" when he means presence of mind?

Yeah, I picked up on that too. "Pushing the envelope" didn't seem right either.

Hawkes Bay better start scoring some points, not only for my tipping, but I need them to hold shield so Naki gets next challenge. I already checked and we get a challenge against the Mako, but Wellington would get a crack frist!!!

@Dan54 they should also tackle Tavatavanawai....

Should be in the AB frame imo

[taniwharugby]

@KiwiMurph bigger stronger version of Reece

[taniwharugby]

scrum resets / penalties look the same so often

[Canes4life]

Come on Tazzy, hold them off so we can get a crack next week.

[taniwharugby]

Ta$man LH getting destroyed

Pretty good quality match, enjoyable for a neutral
