Waikato vs Tasman

@Bovidae I certainly hope so. I'd hate to think that you would beat Ta$man and then lend credibility to that fucking shield by taking it.

I suspect Coxon is still out injured. Can't remember exactly what happened to him, but it looked pretty serious at the time. Otherwise, I think he'd be getting time ahead of Wyatt - building for the future.

Seems to be something about looseheads that attract injury. For us, Tim Perry's hardly played this year. Kane Hames is still out. Wyatt Crockett missed the first month. And Ryan Coxon.

Thank goodness for Sam "the Rock" Prattley, eh @Tim - always available if required!

Ta$man approached Chris King a couple of weeks ago but he said no thanks. Also turned down Canterbury.

Chris B.

@shark He's mainly a tighthead isn't he?

That's really not surprising - against Harbour, Ta$man had Sam Matenga on the bench - google tells me he was an U20s prop last year. Probably not ideal when you're possibly packing against Big Karl!

Stargazer

The right decision. Nothing wrong with that tackle.

Stargazer

Great try from Sullivan as well. Waikato leads 7 - 3

Yeetyaah

Bailyn on fire. Bloody good stuff.

Duluth

Levi tackling like a front rower asked to play in the midfield

African Monkey

I'm sure he has his reasons, but it's a real shame that Jordan Taufua isn't playing for Samoa in the WC. He'd make a huge difference for them.

Stargazer

Quinn Tupaea has been great all season. Should get plenty of game time for the Chiefs in 2020.

Stargazer

It might just happen today. A Ta$man defeat.

KiwiMurph

Tima F doesn't look so good going backwards.

Stargazer

@KiwiMurph I guess there's a good reason why his little brother got a Crusaders contract and Tima didn't.

KiwiMurph

@Stargazer yeah Leicester looks a far better player.

Stargazer

@KiwiMurph Yup, although Tima is still young, too, so plenty of time to improve.

Yeetyaah

Waikato smashing up front and good on D. If only fletch could kick.

Dice

Rob Cobb has actually edged Lomax at scrumtime. Maybe Auckland should've given him some game time this season.

We should pull him from Waikato just to spite them.

Stargazer

Wow, that's about the easiest try Havili has ever scored haha. No defence.

Yeetyaah

@Stargazer just as I say good D 😂

Stargazer

@Yeetyaah Jinxed it.

Stargazer

Taufua has been great thus far.

Yeetyaah

Stoked with how Waikato are playing today. Good game from both sides.
