Great to see Perofeta back but boy what a tough game for your return!

@DrivingMaul I don't think he's related to them.
I remember him from his days at Auckland Grammar. He use to partner up with Rieko Ioane in the midfield.

@DrivingMaul from Timaru originally and went up to Grammar in y11/12 the to Taranaki academy

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.
