NPC Final! Taranaki vs Hawkes Bay Saturday 21st 2.05pm NZDT!

[voodoo]

Typical glory hunters returning to try and share in the spoils, probably heard some rumours about epic after parties eh?

[Dan54]

Very much like the Naki team named,only top line player missing is Crowley at 9 and Lennox is capable replacement.
C'MON THE NAKI!

[Stargazer]

@Dan54 Crowley has been named on the bench.

[Stargazer]

Angus Mabey is the referee for the Final.

[Dan54]

@Stargazer yep good to see, I didn't check the bench and thought Blyde would still be there. I should of read it on a bigger screen.

[Stargazer]

Only one change: Joe 'Apikotoa returns and will wear the number 18 jersey instead of Bo Abra.

@Tim Yes, a North Shore boy.

Is this the lullaby version of the national anthem?

[Steven Harris]

That McClutchie clearance need to go to touch , rampant start from the home side , great vision from Jacomb 7-0

[KiwiMurph]

There's a weird fascination with Canterbury by the commentators as if they win every year. This will be the 6th straight season they won't win the title.

[Steven Harris]

12-0 Naki , could be a long afternoon if the visitors dont find any connection

[KiwiMurph]

Excellent tackle Naholo

[Stockcar86]

Game on

[Machpants]

Jesus that was some great defence until that try

[Steven Harris]

@Machpants even better patience from HB ..12-7 Naki

[Machpants]

Visinia doesn't know the rules, let it roll dead you Muppet

[Steven Harris]

@Machpants or even just touch it down for a goaline drop out

[Machpants]

Should be a yellow, Barrett got one lol
