North Harbour v Tasman
-
If ever a final score line has flattered a losing team , you have just seen it.. Ta$man have come 2nd by the distance of a rugby field ..and I have to agree with the commentators .. Ta$man have been under the pump for the whole 80 minutes , and that’s been the difference between Harbour and any team that’s played Ta$man ..full credit to Harbour , commiserations to Ta$man

@Yeetyaah to give him TJ credit , he was extremely complimentary to Harbour

One should always be gracious in victory, @Duluth!
WTF was that Ta$man??!!!
Not many who come out of that with much credit. Alex Nankivell was probably the pick. Tima Faingaánuku ran with purpose when he got on. David Havili was generally OK.
The forwards got dominated. The scrum got the shit beaten out of it. Beaten at the breakdown, lineout drives defused.
Finlay Christie looked rusty. Paea and Talea were both generally pretty awful. Big Leicester was anonymous.
Harbour actually much too good - even if they did not really seem to know what to do once they had us down to 13.

@Tim said in North Harbour v Ta$man:
Damn, how were the Harbour forwards?
Best I’ve seen them play for ages. It was clinical stuff at the tackle and ruck in attack and defence.
The two Bryn’s controlled the possession well I thought.

@Chris-B Looks like Liverpool followed Ta$man's lead to get absolutely humped by previous no hopers!

Ta$man's worst half of the season, so far.
They've turned Havili's counter-attack over several times, so far and the handful of promising opportunities have been stymied by clumsy play.
Need to improve markedly in the 2nd 40.
Harbour pack apparently 100kgs heavier than Ta$man's!!!
I was surprised by the numbers, but I think it's wrong. No way are Harbour averaging 121kg per man.

Yeah - that would be a massive test pack. Maybe the Boks have put out a pack that big, but I doubt the ABs ever have.
And, on the other hand, I'm doubtful that Ta$man are only 109kgs per man. Andrew Makalio is billed at 128kgs on his own. Isi Tuungafasi is 120 kgs.
