Taranaki vs Manawatu (Ranfurly Shield)
-
@stargazer Manawatu are definitely a chance.
You can tell, because Ta$man wouldn't get a challenge against them either and it would be even less likely that we'd get a challenge against a team that subsequently took the shield off them.
-
if Manawatu did pull it off, would that be the shortest reign as holder, given the Sat/Wed turnaround?
-
@taniwharugby Yes!

Michael Ala'alatoa sent to the sin bin and Manawatu are down to 14. Not sure why; playing the ball while on the ground?
Fair call on the YC. As it was a professional foul. But the penalty quick tap leading to that, offside player handing a teammates knock on .....
Hammington knocks it on, but it then rolls backwards 2m behind the point where he knocks it on before teammate handles it.
One of for Rugby Refs forum.
Actually, after typing all that ... it occurs to me that the guy was on the ground when he handled it.

selfishly, I'd like Taranaki to absolutely thrash Manawatu so badly they curl up and let HB have thier way with them too!

@stargazer I love Fauono Ken Laban.

@african-monkey I don't like it that he tries to sound like a rugby encyclopedia, while at the same time regularly being wrong on his facts.
