Waikato vs Tasman

[African Monkey]

Could Sione Havili push for a Crusaders spot next year?

[Yeetyaah]

How the fuck was that not high on Tupaea?

[Stargazer]

@African-Monkey I think he'd be a good SR prospect.

[KiwiMurph]

Waikato has some brilliant backline moves to get their backs into space.

[African Monkey]

@Stargazer I'd assume that Harmon would be first choice to start with and rightly so but he could sneak in ahead of Christie if they do try and sign him.

[Stargazer]

Try Crocky!

[Stargazer]

Awesome, seeing the old dog running towards the try line and dot down.

[Stargazer]

I can't remember seeing David Havili playing at 10 before, but he's doing a great job in this second half.

[Bones]

@Stargazer some pretty neat goal kicking too.

[Yeetyaah]

Can't help but feel Waikato were fucked by the ref after the high tackle on Tupaea. Mako win again thanks to the ref. Standard Crusaders territory team bullshit. Fuck Ta$man.

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah Don't be a sore loser. One missed high tackle didn't cost Waikato the game. Missing tackles and handling errors and Ta$man improving on the other hand ...

Have been busy watching my nephew get murdered playing for Sydney in the Aussie NRC in their game against the Fiji Drua up in Lautoka (they got arse raped something like 75 - 29!) so have missed this game (other than keeping on eye on progress scores). Will Ta$man be worthy of the win or have they jammied themselves the win for the second week in a row?

[Yeetyaah]

@Stargazer sure but a penalty try would have them with a better chance.

[Stargazer]

@Higgins A bit of a game of two halves, but I'd say Ta$man's win today is more convincing than the one against Harbour.

[Yeetyaah]

@Stargazer less of a sore loser thing and more of a fuck the ref thing

Why would it have been a penalty try? Are you referring to the Tupaea break?

Sounds like Cray Cray to me... The ref has been fine. Waikato got beaten is all.

[Stargazer]

Now that's emotion! Sweeney!

[Dice]

Decent game to kickoff a big day of rugby.

Waikato will be disappointed to not get at least a bonus point out of this game.

[Yeetyaah]

Aight sure I'm pissed off. With the penalty try thing, isn't the rule that if there is a penalty infringement in a try scoring situation then they take the defender out of the situation. If not a penalty try, a penalty kick at least meaning would have been under 7 points and have a better chance at winning.
