Canterbury vs Tasman

[Steven Harris]

I must admit I find it weird when your scrum has just got owned..but the dominant scrum gets penalised on a technicality..and the rest of players from the scrum that just got owned rush in congratulate the props..go figure

[nzzp]

I don't think I have ever seen Canterbury just fall off so many tackles.

or get dominated at the breakdown like this. It feels ... weird

[Stargazer]

That offload from McKay was a thing of beauty.

[African Monkey]

@nzzp To their credit, they've done well to stay in it. They've been badly outplayed but still have a chance.

Someone said it above.

Never ever ever write them off

[Steven Harris]

No way was Havilli on side..all 3 backs were ahead the hindmost feet..

[African Monkey]

Brett Cameron doesn't have a lot going for him but he does have a decent boot.

[Stargazer]

@Steven-Harris Whether or not he was off/onside, he's been very good again, today.

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer agree totally he’s been great..but it brings into question what the AR’s were watching

[KiwiMurph]

I'll be happy if Christie can play like this for the Blues. A very good game from him today.

[Stargazer]

@KiwiMurph To repeat a very over-used cliche: every halfback looks good behind a great pack.

[Steven Harris]

Congratulations to Ta$man..good first half did the business..only 5 a piece in the 2nd half , but I will give Canterbury their dues with ever looking like they would claw their way back..they showed some heart.

[Stargazer]

Well-deserved win from Ta$man, but good effort from Canterbury, denying Ta$man the bonus point.

[Yeetyaah]

What a great weekend. All Blacks win and Canterbury lose. Even if Waikato lose in the next game I'll be happy. Good stuff Ta$man.

[African Monkey]

@KiwiMurph The sad thing is is that guys like him never do.

Canterbury badly outplayed by a very good Ta$man side. They did well to keep it that close.

[Chris B.]

Ta$man a bit profligate with their attacking opportunities - should really have put that game away by halftime.

But lots of good intent and dominant in most things.

[Stargazer]

I expect a Ta$man v Auckland final in the Premiership this year.

Duane Monkley medal:

Blackadder 3 points
Christie 2 points
Taufua 1 point

[sparky]

Big Leicester, David Havili and Will Jordan are an exceptional back three.
