Taranaki rubbing it in by playing 2 ex-Waikato players.

Waikato has won the last 2 Ranfurly Shield challenges vs Taranaki.

[Bovidae]

Here's the Waikato team.

[Stargazer]

Wow, 1st minute. Try Sweeney!

First and only time this year that I support Waikato.

[Stargazer]

Awesome try from Regan Ware.

7 all

[Stargazer]

Fun game this. Try Adam Burn.

Handy player, Quinn Tupaea

12 - 7 Waikato

[Stargazer]

Try James Tucker against the post.

If Waikato can keep this up, the shield will be on the move.

19 - 7 Waikato

[Stargazer]

Bonus point try from Taukei'aho! Unbelievable that Waikato seems to be doing it again. Taranaki's biggest nightmare in a shield game.

26 - 7 Waikato

[Stargazer]

Nothing is going wrong for Waikato, and everything for Taranaki. Tupaea with the try!

33 - 7 Waikato

[Tim]

Waikato must've read my thread.

[Bovidae]

That was fun to watch!

Still 40 mins to go though.

[taniwharugby]

'naki lost alot of corporate sponsors with the EQ issues at the Stadium, if they lose the field thier bank balance gonna take another hit

[Stargazer]

Try Mataele.

33 - 12 Waikato

Don't let them back in the game dammit!

[Stargazer]

Waikato should stop kicking possession away.

[Stargazer]

Who has the Chiefs Cup at the moment?

[Stargazer]

Taranaki, keep on going now. Tire that Waikato squad as much as possible.

[Bovidae]

@stargazer BOP.

It's amazing what a shot of confidence does in sport.

[taniwharugby]

@bovidae for sure, cannot be underestimated!

[Stargazer]

And the Real Bay now get's the first challenge. This Thursday. :face_with_stuck-out_tongue:

[Bovidae]

Also, happy for the 5 pts.
