Taranaki rubbing it in by playing 2 ex-Waikato players.
Waikato has won the last 2 Ranfurly Shield challenges vs Taranaki.
Here's the Waikato team.
Wow, 1st minute. Try Sweeney!
First and only time this year that I support Waikato.
Awesome try from Regan Ware.
7 all
Fun game this. Try Adam Burn.
Handy player, Quinn Tupaea
12 - 7 Waikato
Try James Tucker against the post.
If Waikato can keep this up, the shield will be on the move.
19 - 7 Waikato
Bonus point try from Taukei'aho! Unbelievable that Waikato seems to be doing it again. Taranaki's biggest nightmare in a shield game.
26 - 7 Waikato
Nothing is going wrong for Waikato, and everything for Taranaki. Tupaea with the try!
33 - 7 Waikato
Waikato must've read my thread.
That was fun to watch!
Still 40 mins to go though.
'naki lost alot of corporate sponsors with the EQ issues at the Stadium, if they lose the field thier bank balance gonna take another hit
Try Mataele.
33 - 12 Waikato
Don't let them back in the game dammit!
Waikato should stop kicking possession away.
Who has the Chiefs Cup at the moment?
Taranaki, keep on going now. Tire that Waikato squad as much as possible.
@stargazer BOP.
It's amazing what a shot of confidence does in sport.
@bovidae for sure, cannot be underestimated!
And the Real Bay now get's the first challenge. This Thursday. :face_with_stuck-out_tongue:
Also, happy for the 5 pts.
@stargazer The perfect chance to lose the shortest ever tenure as shield holders record.
