Tackling is something you can coach ,but at the end of the tackling comes from the heart..on saying that credit to Ta$man..they are showing they are a quality team and have showed the Shield Snorters the upmost respect by naming their best team today when they could of rested guys...very impressive from the visitors
So to summerise
- We didn't show enough heart
- Full credit to Ta$man
- real game of two halfs
- some things to work on before next week
- back to the drawing board
-thanks to the ladies in the kitchen

@Chris Leicester signed for 3 years. Hopefully Lotima goes for another contract somewhere other than the Crusaders. Too many good outsides.
I thought the Landers or Chiefs would look at signing Tima but haven’t heard anything
No Crusaders don’t need any more outside backs they are looking at Mid Field back up options I believe -

@Chris-B Nankivell has really improved this year, starting with his time at the Chiefs.
Yeah - he's possibly NZ's most improved player. Last year he wasn't starting for the Mako - now he's likely a contender for the ABs 2020 midfield - assuming SBW and Crotty are both gone.

I disagree with the "We didn't show enough heart" bit.

@Stargazer was just trying to roll out as many cliches as possible for the post game interview.

One thing Ta$man does better than any other team in the Mitre 10 cup ,is move the ball wide at speed..I know your all gonna think I am on drugs, the one team i would like to see them play them again is Auckland , I do believe Auckland has a backline that can match Ta$man ..and I think they have physicality in the forwards, Dalton Papalii did not play in the first game and was quite outstanding and was very impressed with the Aucks against a very determined Taranaki team last night..
I am not saying Auckland could possibly win, but they will bring some heat ..and I suspect that 40-0 thumping will be enough motivation after their last outing
Only issue for me with Auckland is at scrum against a very good Ta$man tight five. -

I don't think he is that good. The Chiefs can find a winger within the region. I'd take his little brother though..
