Tasman vs North Harbour

[Duluth]

[Chris B.]

Injuries biting a bit - Makalio, Lomax, and Hunt all missing and Frizell, of course gone for the season as well. Front row looking a bit thin at hooker and tighthead - no sign of Hugh Roach either.

No specialist first five cover for O'Malley in this team, which likely points to David Havili potentially getting an opportunity to show the AB selectors what he can do at first five.

[Duluth]

The only change from last week is Duffie has dropped back to the bench

Hope Telea continues his form

Kieran Keane vs his old side

[Duluth]

Good start by Harbour

[African Monkey]

Ta$man scrum getting eaten alive.

[Duluth]

Harbour scrum earns a penalty try

NH 14-7

Ta$man should have a man off for consistent infringements. Compare that to the game last night

[Duluth]

Finally

[Stargazer]

Deserved yellow.

[KiwiMurph]

Anyone seen Squire today? Roots has outplayed him so far.

[Stargazer]

Good first half from Harbour. I wonder whether this is the first game that Ta$man is going into the break without leading on the score board?

[Chris B.]

Who has stolen the Ta$man team and sent these Keystone Cops to play instead?

Scrum struggle is perhaps not completely surprising, but Moli''s poor lineout throwing has been very costly.

Lots of pretty uncharacteristic mistakes with the small amount of ball we've had.

[Stargazer]

@Chris-B Ta$man are definitely missing Makalio!

[KiwiMurph]

@Stargazer and Lomax

[Steven Harris]

@Chris-B I think the loss of Lomax has been been quite noticeable on that right hand side..Harbour are definitely up for it and have packed one of the better scrums all season

[Chris B.]

All of Lomax, Makalio, Kane Hames, and Atu Moli! And Hugh Roach!

Good demonstration of how a dominant scrum can win a game for you - but, Ta$man has been poor in plenty of other aspects. Don't think Will Jordan even got to touch the ball in the first 30 minutes.

Need to wake up in the second half.

[Chris B.]

FFS!!!

[Nepia]

Sheesh, Collapser was lucky not to get two penalties there, one for holding on to Hall, then for coming into the ruck from the side.

He must have too much mana for the ref to penalise him.

[Stargazer]

This game, clearly, isn't over yet.

[Chris B.]

Better - Ta$man looking better with a bit more ball.

Big Leicester doing well!
