[Bovidae]

Good to see O'Neill is playing. When he left the field last Sunday I feared he had a serious injury.

[Duluth]

Perofeta looks so good in broken play

[Steven Harris]

CM showing plenty of courage to stay in the fight .

[Dice]

Sweet finish by Ormond.

[mikedogz]

I reckon that Ormond try was out, foot out simultaneous with place of try.

[Steven Harris]

@mikedogz really great desperation from Martin ,great to see despite the final result

[mikedogz]

I'm liking the look of Taulani. Good reward for his impact as a substitute for the last few weeks.

[mikedogz]

Game on! We got to hold this lead.

[mikedogz]

Excellent try, ENS beating defenders and setting up Kuridrani.

[Dice]

Good work by Motuga and ENS in the lead-up to that try.

Motuga is having a very good game.

[Steven Harris]

Perofeta showing he still is such an up and down player..

[KiwiMurph]

@Steven-Harris he's a 15 not a 10.

[Dice]

Milo-Harris' service is so poor.

[Steven Harris]

@KiwiMurph on saying that , to see 2 drop outs from halfway in the same game is not acceptable wether you play 10 or 15 ..played all his rugby at Whanganui Collegiate as 10 ..

[Dice]

I was wondering where Boshier was. He's been mostly invisible in this game.

[Steven Harris]

Terrible from Taumateine , your forwards are working overtime , and you put a high kick from an Indirect free kick straight into touch ..seriously ..!

[mikedogz]

ENS finally flourishing at 15's this year

[taniwharugby]

@mikedogz I havent watched him the past few weeks, but prior to that I thought he was average at best.

[Steven Harris]

Perofetas attempted tackle on ENS was pitiful..and that was defending as a 15..
