Perofeta. Runs himself, runs himself, kicks it away.

Yeah, after about 20 mins the Magpies decided to stop letting him look like DC.

Someone give Tom Parsons a Super Rugby contract. He bloody well deserves one.

You can see (like Mounga I guess) that maybe they still have that hangover from school days where they carved up all on their own.

[KiwiMurph]

Knowing Perofeta's injury history he'll be out for 6 months.

very short penalty advantage there for HB

Yep, and we barely even advanced even 10 metres forward - we just went sideways.

[Nepia]

Hungus Dixon gets a hattrick after a great MMT run. Good support from Fakatava too.

52-11.

[KiwiMurph]

Hoeata burnt for pace again.

[Bones]

Taranaki showing the huge benefits of chipping it away when you're 30+ points down. God that's horrible when you're playing and dickheads do that.

Awesome by Dixon.

[Number 10]

Standing ovation as Fakatava and Dixon leave the field

[Nepia]

Old Man Baker kicks it straight into a Naki defender but we luckily get the lineout from the deflection.

At least Mounga carves up at Mitre 10 and Super level.

[taniwharugby]

come back is on

[Nepia]

Naki score, 52-18.

[KiwiMurph]

'Highlander' scores.

[Number 10]

I think we can declare now?

[Yeetyaah]

Fucking lmao. To think I picked Taranaki to win.

[Nepia]

As @KiwiMurph notes (beat me to it) the Highlander scores for the Pies - 59-18.

[taniwharugby]

@Yeetyaah I hoped, but knew they'd be toast with thier injury list.
