Taranaki v Wellington
-
I don't think it matters.
The battle of the bridge is like a shield challenge for them. It's good to see that intensity come back under Coventry.
Hopefully Auckland remembers that this year.. and please Auckland players, don't call them 'little brother' in the next few days

The Lions should have too much firepower in this one. I see it's raining in the Naki tonight, this could very well end up being a complete banana skin for the Lions though.
Fantastic to see Colesy back in the mix, by god have we missed his "in your face" attitude.

Bens Lams atttemped tackle on Lamert looked like an imitation of someone walking through a turnstile..

@kiwimurph agree about Parete..got to be one of the most ill disciplined players running around in Mitre 10 Cup,if not the number 1..total dumbass..!..not that I would tell him personally..!

@kiwimurph he was about mid way through the comp, cant see that he has changed his ways.
M10 Cup webpage used to do player and team stats, but they havent done them this season.

He does this a lot. Yet some think he's AB potential. Lam is fast and has good ball skills but his poor defense and lack of aggression is his downfall.

They do! On the home page, but it doesn't include player discipline (only team discipline).
