Just got home, that was painful. Boys looked flat during warm up and never seemed to get going. Quite disappointing. Bay were pretty good though

[ACT Crusader]

One of the more dominant first half performances of the season by the Bay. Excellent forward performance and the backs used the front foot ball to good effect.

I could only watch the 1st half. Did Laban finally realise which Sa brother was playing for Taranaki?

[KiwiPie]

That was a pleasant surprise, we have a terrible record of going to New Plymouth although we have now won 3 of the last 4 so maybe I need to recalibrate. We were fairly ruthless with taking opportunities after losing to Southland through bombing a couple of tries.
