Tasman v Waikato
-
Well done Waikato. You may have ruined my tipping, but that is a well deserved win. Ta$man paying for one of the worst performances I can recall in terms of accuracy.

Thanks for coming, Ta$man.
A lumbering and clumsy effort demonstrating a need for a few more nimble players. (AKA Nankivell and Havili).
Big Leicester looked mostly good. Chapman was good when he came on.
Not many others who will look back on that fondly.

Stoked with Waikato. Ta$man were pretty shit. Rātima should be in a Super team next year. Coombes-Fabling and McWhannell also huge.
Liam had probably his best game for Waikato. Even his defence was top notch.
I am not sure what happened with Waikato's lineout in the 1st half. For some reason they had no confidence throwing it long.
A good start to the weekend...

Just finished watching the match.
Did anyone else watching in Oz through Stan have no sound? Not that I don’t mind it.
Ta$man looked lazy for large parts of the match in both defence and attack. Only woke up with 15 minutes to go when they were up a man!
Some lovely attack by the Mooloo.

@bovidae Unfortunately, Tim is a bit of a placeholder. Hopefully Alex Nankivell isn't too far away.
I think my diagnosis might not be too far away. A succession of big guys rumbling forward until one of them got isolated and gave up a penalty. Needed a few guys with pace running off them - and we had too few of those. Add Talea to Nankivell and Sione Havili and it should improve.

Simply no urgency until it was too late. Maybe the accountant sent the water boy out with bonus promises?
You are lucky you had no sound. You were spared listened to TJs contortions. If Lester F got near the ball it sounded like Goldie was squeezing TJs balls. Then when a Waikato player did something good he squealed louder because he realised how he was sounding like a Ta$man fanboy.
Give the guy some valium and keep him away from Ta$man/Crusader/Canterbury games (and AB games involving players from) -
Thought several Waikato forwards put their hands up for Super rugby consideration. Hopefully Chiefs have retained Mcwhannell and Blues now secure Dyer. Would like to see Mitch Jacobson at Chiefs to back up Cane. Wrampling 'arrived' at npc level last night too and has a super future. Ratima great too after a slow start. Could be third 9. Hunt and Faingaanuku looked the best players on the field to me. Ta$man forwards were off their game though and that was the difference for me.
