    So a bonus point victory for Wellington would get them into the semis.

    Harbour could get to the same number of points but Wellington won the match between them

    It would have been cooler to see Coles make his comeback for Horowhenua-Kapiti, as was originally planned.

    @hooroo The concussion symptoms is what kept him out of Super Rugby for most of the 2017 season. He then played for the ABs against Samoa in June, got another head knock and missed the Lions series. He played the 2017 RC, and against France during the EOYT. In that game v France, he suffered the knee injury that kept him out of Super Rugby in 2018, the French Series and the 2018 RC.

    @duluth Do you reckon it's more dangerous for Auckland if Harbour are a live chance at the play-offs or if they're already out and playing to finish their season by winning the Battle of the Bridge?

    I don't think it matters.

    The battle of the bridge is like a shield challenge for them. It's good to see that intensity come back under Coventry.

    Hopefully Auckland remembers that this year.. and please Auckland players, don't call them 'little brother' in the next few days

    The Lions should have too much firepower in this one. I see it's raining in the Naki tonight, this could very well end up being a complete banana skin for the Lions though.

    Fantastic to see Colesy back in the mix, by god have we missed his "in your face" attitude.

    Five minutes played and Wellington have already scored. It's not looking good for Taranaki.

    7 all, after Lahmert's try. Wellington hot on attack again, but making mistakes, giving the Naki some chances.

    @kiwimurph he was about mid way through the comp, cant see that he has changed his ways.

    M10 Cup webpage used to do player and team stats, but they havent done them this season.

    He does this a lot. Yet some think he's AB potential. Lam is fast and has good ball skills but his poor defense and lack of aggression is his downfall.

    They do! On the home page, but it doesn't include player discipline (only team discipline).

    Having seen my own team go down from the Premiership to the Championship a few times, I always find it hard to watch teams in their "dying moments" like Taranaki is now. It doesn't give any satisfaction, unless you're the surviving team like Counties is now.

    As a Counties supporter I am happy the Naki will lose. Counties will be the "Big Dog" in the chiefs region which means shit nowadays unfortunately.

    I wonder whether Waikato supporters will agree with that if they retain the Shield this weekend and gain promotion to the Premiership in two weeks. 🤔

    @stargazer agree with your coms,never enjoyable watching a team getting relegated,you would not have picked this when Taranaki dealt to Manawatu in their shield defence earlier in the year..On paper they looked a really good team but I just suspect once a few injuries bit along with losing their skipper to the All Blacks the wheels fell off..!.
    losing full use of their ground has probably hurt them financially as well..i suspect we are starting to see the 4 of the 5 super based franchises starting to return to their former glory,with Tasman being the exception to the rule.

    Yeah, I'm happy we scraped through, which is proving over this format to be not that difficult. Look at how two of the big 5 (Welly and Waikato) have managed to fall on one poor or injury hit season. Otago have permanently lost their spot in the big 5 and now Tasman have justified claim to the spot Naki held for a while.
    It puts our performances of hanging in the prems in perspective.
    At least staying up gives you the chance that if you are building you might hit your peak while in the big comp.
