Canterbury vs Taranaki (Ranfurly Shield)

[Rembrandt]

What a kick! 45 - 38. 10 remaining

[Stargazer]

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

[Nepia]

52-38 now.

Edit: Dolt, Stargazer beat me to it.

MANASA!!!!!!!!!!

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

Game over and the Shield gets a holiday away

WTF I decided it was over when Canterbury went ahead 38 whatever just after the half!

@taniwharugby

I think Canterbury thought that too.

@wally and I stopped watching....

[Rembrandt]

Outstanding!

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

Wow, that was a pathetic display of defence by Wainui for the first try. Looks like Taranaki are going to get taught a lesson. Canterbury waltzing through the midfield at will.

If only I'd put money on it.

Home game for the Naki vs Manawatu this Wednesday 11th.

[ACT Crusader]

Poo get their chance next week

[Stargazer]

There are still a few Naki-Crusaders without contract. I think they made a good case for themselves! McKenzie, Mataele, Wainui.

[Bovidae]

I just read a stat that after Ngatai entered the game Taranaki scored 34 pts to 5.

[Mokey]

Very happy for the Naki. I hope they keep it for the summer, but midweek Manawatu have a chance.

Bloody hell, imagine if you'd put a tenner on the Poo having the Shield back at the start of the season.

[Nepia]

Hahaha, Bateman was saying how gutted they were but was kind of smiling as he said it. He said some good stuff about the Shield too.

[KiwiMurph]

Taranaki brilliant. Ngatai was outstanding when he came on. TTT's Mitre 10 Cup season has been sensational. Some of those Naki forwards too. Great for the Shield/comp. Perofeta with the drop goal to ice it - now that's a 10.
