Wellington v Taranaki

[Canes4life]

Lol Taine Plumtree does a lot of running sideways. He’s way too loose to be a 6.

[Winger]

Wellington look like a diff team compared to the rubbish in the last 3 games

Aumua, TJ and PUJ (past ABs) all looking good

[Canes4life]

@Winger Peter Lakai has impressed me for such a young kid. Reminds me of a young Ardie.

Agree. Still 19 I think.

[Canes4life]

@Winger he looks a lot more solid compared to Ardie at the same age. Big future ahead. Would rather him over Kirifi in the Canes.

[KiwiMurph]

Lakai carrying on his impressive play from NZ U20s.

[Higgins]

@Canes4life Are you discussing the openside flanker position or the No. 8 spot?

He looks a 7. Hope the Canes pick him up.

Another try by Lakai. Wish I could find stats on him

[KiwiMurph]

Lakai at 8.

Savea at 7.

Canes would be looking good.

Or the opposite. Lakai could play at 7

He's an 8. He played 8 for U20s, he's playing 8 here.

I know but Savea is the AB 8 at present so unlikely to want to play 7

Oh yeah I have no doubt in reality that's how it will play out.

[KiwiMurph]

I would expect to see Peter Lakai in black in 2024.

[Winger]

Excellent Wellington try. A joy to watch exp after the rubbish in the last 2 matches. Its like a completely different team

Lakai scores three. He's looking class

Blackwell is also having a VG game

31-13 Wellington

[KiwiMurph]

Quite amazing how Billy Proctor got signed to a 5 year Super Rugby contract out of school considering he's a midfielder who isn't a great ball runner and can't distribute.

[Winger]

31-18. Another Taranaki try

[Winger]

Higgins replaces PUJ. 61 minutes gone

PUJ was playing well

[Winger]

Love replaces CGB. 62 minutes and 2nd water break
