Otago v Taranaki

[taniwharugby]

@gt12 yeah you see the same sort of silly stuff happening at lower levels, almost replicating the ABs...

[Stargazer]

I still don't see how that means there's something wrong with the game. There may be something wrong with the players or coaching ...

[Bovidae]

I think Taranaki can feel a little aggrieved at some of the penalties. How did they all miss Sanders grabbing Naholo early? Consistency would be good.

Well, ‘NZ rugby’ could conceivably be interpreted as the focus by players and coaches on ‘seeing pictures’ of ‘opportunities’ despite them being in a place where a more strategic approach might be more appropriate.

If you cant see the similarities between Taranaki’s play and the ABs, this will be my last post with you on it.

That’s going to be a problem Tom

I never said that, but okay.

That wee fulla has plenty of wheels

[Kruse]

That's similar to how I'd like ALL spot-kicks to be taken.

[Stargazer]

Looks like concussion, not shoulder.

[gt12]

Taranaki’s class in player starting to show now.

I really like the way Otago went about things though.

Perofeta is still a frustrating player to watch. He makes a break and then throws a terrible pass.
