Tasman v Manawatu

[Chris B.]

@Stargazer I reckon Hansen will be tuned in for this one - Perry, Moli, Squire and Frizell (and Hemopo for Manawatu) all with something to play for - even if it's a place in the injury call-ups queue.

Might even be a couple more playing for a spot in that queue.

Good to see Tim Perry back.

Havili, maybe Taufua?

you know what, if he is turning up to an NPC game a fortnight out from the cup to learn anything, i would be astounded. It's not 1985

[Chris B.]

@mariner4life How else is he going to find out anything about whether Squire especially is worth picking?

Tim Perry is having his second game all year - third if you count the five minutes in which his significant achievement was to break his arm.

Yep - and just possibly one of the locks, as well.

Frizzell at lock? Never seen him play there before.

He played lock last week

[Yeetyaah]

@SammyC Shieeet my blind ass didn't realise. Suppose I only had it on in the background though.

[Tim]

IIRC, Frizell played the whole season at lock for Ta$man in 2017.

[Yeetyaah]

@Tim Didn't pay too much attention to the 2017 M10 cup. Only really got into last year.

[KiwiMurph]

I remember when Kirwan claimed Hamish Northcott was going to be the next Conrad Smith. Comedy gold.

[Steven Harris]

Why the hell is Jamie Booth kicking so much..just keeping kicking to one of the most dangerous back 3 teams..duh..!
Jackson Hemopo still looking classy in a struggling team.

[Stargazer]

I like the technical commentary from Kane Hames.

[Steven Harris]

@KiwiMurph same guy who thought Benji Marshall would be great rugby player..!

[Stargazer]

Great try from Taufua after an even greater pass from Squire.

[Stargazer]

19 - 3 to Ta$man. To think how many opportunities Ta$man have missed thus far ... it could have been way worse.

Throwing around the term great rather liberally.

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer looking like a training run for Ta$man

[Stargazer]

@Steven-Harris I'm starting to wonder whether Southland might get over Manawatu this season.

[Stargazer]

I think Tima Fainga'anuku isn't as good as his younger brother Leicester, but he's been really good in this game.
