staring soon

Sotutu has been prominent. He scores and its 14-12 Taranaki after 30mins

[Bovidae]

You can see how important JRK is to Taranaki when he isn't there.

CM will be happy with that score playing into the wind.

@Bovidae Samate has been poor.

[Duluth]

Classy last try by Taranaki. The kick from Jacomb was very good

[Bovidae]

Those might be the two worst lineout throws I've seen from Muli.

Boshier was sat on his arse twice by Popoalii, but he is a very good player at NPC level.

Well happy with that performance in the end, good to Grindley back on field. Quite a difference when came into 9 for Nawai, both these fellas play for same club too.
