    It suddenly has become an interesting game again. Only 10 points between the teams now.

    @rembrandt In short, Taranaki finally got the ball!

    Intercept try to Tamanivalu after a bad throw from Thompson.
    Try to Perofeta after some excellent stepping from McKenzie.
    Try to Sowakula, who was steamrolling the Cantab defence.

    What has happened to the rugby ball this year in particular to get the reverse swing that sees goal kick clearly swinging away from the posts an missing somehow reverse swing back against the flight of the ball and pass between the uprights? It happens too often to be called a fluke or "allowing for the wind" in both rugby and league. That last conversion be Richie Mo'ounga was just the latest of these reverse swigging efforts.

    @kiwimurph said in Canterbury vs Taranaki (Ranfurly Shield):

    Defence optional in this game.

    Certainly seems to be although that last Taranaki try was a beaut one

    In case anyone needs to know the score it is Canterbury 38 - 35 Taranaki after 56 minutes

    If Taranaki wins the Shield tonight, they already have a challenge on Wednesday. From Manawatu. Whoever wins that game, keeps the Shield until next season.

    Wow, Taranaki! 8 minutes to go and they lead 52 to 38. Surely, Canterbury can't come back from this?

    Naki have really piled in at the breakdown in the last 10 minutes. Excellent work.

    Game over and the Shield gets a holiday away 🙂
