Tasman v Taranaki (RS)

[KiwiMurph]

Good decision by the ref there

[KiwiMurph]

Naki 7 Loft having a whale of a half

[KiwiMurph]

That is some dirty play by Shalfoon - hits him in the back of the neck and head after he has landed

[brodean]

@KiwiMurph

Should have been red. No mitigation.

[Chris B.]

Ta$man been pretty ragged at times - that gift try was a shocker! Unfortunately, the Naki are playing well.

We came back into a bit in the last 10 minutes, but will need to play a lot better in the second half.

Lord is a big unit - he's towering over the Ta$man lineout (which admittedly is pretty short)!

[KiwiMurph]

They called that a knock on against Reece in the Bledisloe

[KiwiMurph]

Another dumb penalty from Blackadder

He has not had a great game

[KiwiMurph]

That is close to the try of the season

[Grooter]

Spectacular rugby Taranaki

[Mattasaurus]

FFS how dumb.. its not technical -- kids know it ffs

[Duluth]

Taranaki so much better at the breakdown. Think the ref has gone easy on Ta$man for things like diving off their feet too

[KiwiMurph]

Game on.

Jacomb is talented but his game management has been poor second half

[Duluth]

Nice hands

[Mattasaurus]

Code looks so simple when done well

[Mattasaurus]

that's AB quality low probability options by the Mako there

[antipodean]

Congrats Taranaki, well deserved.

[KiwiMurph]

Congrats Taranaki. Deserved winners.

Fun game.

Pleasing to see Lord show his class

[Chris B.]

Not good enough.

Too many errors, too many dumb penalties and at times some weak defence.

Got back into it with 10 minutes to go, but it would have been a burglary!

Well done, Taranaki!

[Dan54]

Yeah!!! Fen yeah!! You Fen beauties. We got the shield!!!

I'll calm down soon fellas!

[Chris B.]

Think we get the booby prize of playing Canterbury next week, as well.

Probably the one I least wanted!
