Tasman v Manawatu
-
@Steven-Harris Need to make hay, while the sun shines - because turnover is massive in Mitre10 Cup.
If you start looking at who is definitely leaving Ta$man and who will likely be on All Blacks duty (and who Canterbury might be waving their chequebook at), we'll be losing plenty.
I've read about Segner, but haven't seen him play.

We'll have Will Jordan back please, you bloody great big rich Northern bullies.

Oh and also that 10 you poached from Australia and stashed away in the academy up there.

Squire was good - took plenty of lineout ball, aggressive with ball in hand, slick pass to put Taufua in, and made his tackles - including a pretty hefty one on Otere Black. Can't recall any mistakes - if he is in the frame he won't have hurt his chances.
Moli got the whole second half (Perry played the first 40). I wasn't watching him, but when Manawatu rolled out two huge substitute props, they gave the Ta$man scrum a touch up a couple of times. I'd think Cron will be re-winding those to watch again.
Hemopo only played the first 40 minutes. Frizell went 80 minutes with a few errors - losing the ball in contact and a forward pass as I recall. Otherwise good.
Nankivell hobbled off with a twisted ankle - looked like the sort of thing that might keep him out for a week at worst (touch wood).
Jordan was fun to watch, as usual. Mitch Hunt had a shortish stint, but looked good. Other guy who looked slick was the Japanese reserve halfback - fast accurate delivery and a nice runner. Actually, pretty much everyone from Ta$man looked good, but those guys particularly caught the eye.
