Taranaki v Tasman
-
-
thought Jordan had blown a try there
-
@taniwharugby Yep, he should have passed. Had 2 players supporting him. Great kick from Hunt to Tima Fainga'anuku, though.
-
@KiwiMurph Yeah - Parkinson and Squire are hugely tall first and third options at NPC level. Taranaki struggling to find somewhere to throw.
Taranaki bringing plenty of attitude on defence (a few less high shots will be good) - Ta$man taking their chances so far this week though. Mitch Hunt having a slightly ropey day with his goal-kicking.
Levi Aumua proving a handful in the midfield, Ethan Blackadder prominent as usual.
Good game, so far.

She's a tall line out when you start with Queer, PPP, Squire and Smallbladder

should have penalised naki there, one of thoer players blocked the cleaner from getting to the ruck
-
man nakis d has been awesome
Havili blew a try there.
that did touch his foot though didnt it?
-
was just gonna say ref has let lots of 'blocking' at rucks go, then he blows up an obstruction
-
do they go for a DG to get a BP?
-
dont even get the chance...pinged at the scrum to finish the game.
18-28

@Siam Former Japanese test halfback. Very impressive in both his outings so far - fast and accurate pass as well.
@Dice - yeah - that Potroz had a good game. I haven't seen him before. Looks like he'd be a good Super rugby acquisition for someone, if he's not a squaddie already.
Ta$man probably should have plugged the corners a bit more in the final 20 minutes. Lots of attacking with ball in hand - usually until someone got isolated and penalized.

I love that Taranaki played 'Baby Shark' as the Mako ran out. Brilliant.
But that won't help them today.
Very nice by the 'Naki.
But, channeling a bit of Bohemian Rhapsody in return..."And another one gone, and another one gone, another one bites the dust"!
