Biggest game of the season for both sides.
Agree @Tim the Naki 9/10 combination have been superb. Also impressed with the tight 5 for the Naki and their workrate.
-
Great start for the Cantabs. 12-0 after 12 minutes
-
Richie converts and good guys lead 14-0

@stargazer said in Canterbury vs Taranaki (Ranfurly Shield):
This was supposed to be a super clash between arguably the two strongest teams in the competition. I only see one strong team tonight. Come on Naki! That Shield must circulate!
I think they heard you
-
@stockcar86 Ha, yes, I wish the Magpies listened to me as well!
-
Naki back in the game with an intercept try to Seta, and a good assist from McKenzie for a try by Perofeta
-
@rembrandt In short, Taranaki finally got the ball!
Intercept try to Tamanivalu after a bad throw from Thompson.
Try to Perofeta after some excellent stepping from McKenzie.
Try to Sowakula, who was steamrolling the Cantab defence.
