Tasman v Taranaki (RS)

[KiwiMurph]

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

@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!

[darylmitchell]

Man this Bulls team has won everything under Neil Barnes, the championship, premiership and the log of wood and looking likely to win another grand final this year too. Why isn't Barnes a coach in demand at the moment?
