Counties v Taranaki

Dice

I see some rucking

Tim

For all the fuss, Nanai-Sotero hasn't set the world alight.

Tim

Would like to see a replay of that tackle.

Dice

SBW forcing a few too many offloads in this half.

@Tim Think he's more of a fullback than wing. Was dangerous there for Counties last year.

Tim

Counties just can't finish it off.

I don’t think a team should get the scrum for a knock on if they take a drop goal attempt.

Steven Harris

Been impressed with Counties Manukau set piece scrum and lineout ,just failing to get really quick ball to get in behind the Naki

Tim

@Steven-Harris Or hold on to it!

Stargazer

Try Jackson Ormond. I can't see Counties coming back from this anymore.

Steven Harris

@Tim that helps as well.

Stargazer

34 - 19 to Taranaki after 65 minutes.

Steven Harris

Actually disagree with official on this play from the Kellerway knock on..to me 2 x wide passes were thrown before Wainu knocks on..that’s advantage over in my opinion

Steven Harris

Decision to take the 3 is spot on, still got to Score 3 times Mr Bates

Yeetyaah

Taranaki dominating. Wainui looks good in 13. Hopefully he gets a chance at 13 next year for the Chiefs. Tahuriorangi playing well. Potroz too.

Steven Harris

Game on again

Tim

On ya Counties.

Tim

What the hell is that awful music they're playing after the game?

Stargazer

Can't trust that clock on screen, apparently.

Full time: Counties 29 - 34 Taranaki

Taranaki earning one bonus point; Counties getting two.

Steven Harris

Another good quality game despite the wet ground conditions congratulations to Taranaki ..CM will wonder after dominating at set piece how they actually lost this game..,just the odd error when it really mattered.

Thought TTT and Waite controlled the game and were the real difference ..also Sowakula in the boot was very good along with Sean Wainui who the best for the Naki.
For CM ,Thought the skipper Henwood was superb, Joe Royal very good around the field and with his lineout throwing
Great to see SBW play out a full 80 minutes ,and take control from that midfield position ..a good 7.5/10 performance from the big man
