I disappear down to the Dairy to get myself a mince and cheese pie and come back to see the halftime score of Taranaki 11 - 06 Wellington ballooned out to 32 - 06 in the first five minutes of the second half. What happened to contribute to this blitzkerig?

Basically the Naki boys did what they been doing lately, just switch it up after the break and Jacomb just plays all over the top.
I pretty happy with that! -

A frustrating season comes to an end you’d have to say for Wellington, Naki too strong today and are probably the team I want to see go on and win it now that the Lions are out.
Disappointing but not surprising, from winning the title last year we’ve just had too many players move on (overseas or All Black duty), as well as unwanted injuries to our leftover experienced players. Funny that the three games we won this season were when the ABs came back into the fold. Apart from that Wellington looked mostly B-grade this year, with too many club level players having to be called up and the likes of JSav and JGB being well passed it.
