North Harbour v Tasman

[KiwiPie]

@KiwiMurph he has an unusual technique of trying to catch it with his face

[KiwiMurph]

David Havili has been well contained

[Dice]

Important kick by Gatland. Ta$man now have to score 3 times to win.

[Duluth]

Smashed

40 points to NH

Ta$man’s score inflated by those two intercepts

[Dice]

Impressive performance by Harbour.

I'd say that's the performance of the M10 so far. This came out of nowhere.

[Tim]

Damn, how were the Harbour forwards?

Very good.

If ever a final score line has flattered a losing team , you have just seen it.. Ta$man have come 2nd by the distance of a rugby field ..and I have to agree with the commentators .. Ta$man have been under the pump for the whole 80 minutes , and that’s been the difference between Harbour and any team that’s played Ta$man ..full credit to Harbour , commiserations to Ta$man

[Yeetyaah]

How was TJ on commentary during the dismantling? Was watching the Waikato game.

commiserations to Ta$man

Nah fuck that

[Steven Harris]

@Yeetyaah to give him TJ credit , he was extremely complimentary to Harbour

[Chris B.]

One should always be gracious in victory, @Duluth!

WTF was that Ta$man??!!!

Not many who come out of that with much credit. Alex Nankivell was probably the pick. Tima Faingaánuku ran with purpose when he got on. David Havili was generally OK.

The forwards got dominated. The scrum got the shit beaten out of it. Beaten at the breakdown, lineout drives defused.

Finlay Christie looked rusty. Paea and Talea were both generally pretty awful. Big Leicester was anonymous.

Harbour actually much too good - even if they did not really seem to know what to do once they had us down to 13.

[Bovidae]

Kieran Keane must have enjoyed this game.

[nzzp]

great work Harbour, that effort came from nowhere. Impressive was they maintained it right to the end - kept positive, kept working and pushed all the way. Much respect.

Best I’ve seen them play for ages. It was clinical stuff at the tackle and ruck in attack and defence.

The two Bryn’s controlled the possession well I thought.

[Stargazer]

So we give a Mikaele-Tu'u to North Harbour and they start winning ...

[dogmeat]

@Chris-B you've been our baitches for a long time....

[Chris B.]

@dogmeat Those winning streaks always come to an end, my friend....!

[Chris B.]

On the plus side, if Foster was watching that game, a few Ta$man players who might have been on the margins for a trip lazing around on the sidelines in Australia will probably remain available to us!
