Manawatu vs Northland

[J77]

@taniwharugby said in v Manawatu:

@J77 will be interesting to see how Tua goes though, Laumape is a handful for the best players, so he us up against it from the outset.

But if he plays well it could be the making of him.

I’d be inclined to place old Hitman Matiu in that midfield channel at times on defence. Might sure things up a bit.

Lucky is not a home game, full on storm here

[Stargazer]

Geezussssssssssss, I wish Laban would shut up with his history lessons!

[Stargazer]

I think Sam Nock just showed the "backing himself" that you guys have been talking about! Smart play; good try.

Josh Goodhue off injured. Shoulder by the looks of it.

[Stargazer]

Debreczeni is having a mare thus far.

[Stargazer]

Wow, awesome break from Laumape and finished well by Booth after beating Nock in the following foot race.

They're stuffing up my tipping.

[taniwharugby]

Zero penetration from us.

[Higgins]

@taniwharugby You seem to be able to penetrate through superier scrummaging.

[Kirwan]

Some magic trys in this game

[taniwharugby]

@Higgins but the forwards keep giving the ball to the backs....

[Stargazer]

Geez, unlucky Gregory slipping at exactly the wrong time and wrong place, while Andre Taylor benefits from a fortunate bounce of the ball. Bonus point try for Manawatu.

[Kirwan]

Beautiful pass in those conditions. Good finish

[Stargazer]

Gregory scores the bonus point try for the Taniwha.. 31 - 25 to the Turbos

[Kirwan]

Ripped his jersey off. Haven’t seen that in a while

[Kirwan]

Try saver! Great tackle

[Stargazer]

Great try saver from Gregory.

[Stargazer]

Excellent touch finder. Line-out on the 5m line.

[Kirwan]

Ahh not straight
