Vakasiuola

He went off in the preseason game with a head knock so maybe concussion .

@SBW1 said in Ta$man v Canterbury (QF):

Are the any highlights to this game on Youtube?

@darylmitchell said in Ta$man v Taranaki (RS):

It will be a fucking farce if Razor selects Ennor and Havili ahead of Daniel Rona. at all.

Rugby's gone soft.

An outside back gets done for roughing up a prop.

Watching the highlights it seems Otago yo-yo’d between decent footie and some seriously dumb and awful defence

@Crazy-Horse said in Waikato v Ta$man:

I thought both the Wramplings looked handy over the past couple of weeks. Been a bit if talk about them, it was good to finally get to see them play.

Just nice to see Gideon free from injury after a couple of tough seasons. If he can stay on the field then I have very high hopes.

@Chris-B Mate it's the shield, and shit happens. As I said you want to change to something it never was and I like it being special. I want it to keep it's mistique,let's just leave it at that.
I enjoy tradional things in game and I think it's been changed enough.

Craig Goodman - I've got his book - The rise and all of Nelson Bays rugby.

Here's the Mark Milne try he refers to.

Classic action from 1992 3rd Division Final between Horowhenua and Nelson Bays played in Levin. (Excuse the ghosting in the footage of this one)..

These days they'd be looking long and hard at a knock on at the base of the ruck!

Really nice by Narawa, but godammit put your foot down man.

That first try by Tavatavanawai is worth a look.

Probably a 14 point swing if he misses!

Fletcher Anderson has bulked up. I remember watching him play really well at openside in the NZ Schools trial.

Thought Howden and Iose had huge games for the Turbos despite the scoreboard.

@Bovidae Nah, Nankivell didn't touch the ball. He touched Sowakula's arm.

@booboo said in Canterbury v Ta$man:

But fuck how forward was that pass?

you could be watching any number of games from the last week...

@Chris said in Taranaki v Ta$man:

He has a younger brother Jayden just as big in the Canterbury u/19 squad this year.

The NZ version of the Skeltons. 🙂

How good is it seeing this guy back on the pitch? 😮‍💨.

What a break away from rugby!

I decided to register nothing that happened during the preceding eight days - like a tree falling in the forest, I saw and heard nothing, so none of it happened. My reality is better than most of yours - and the skiing was fabulous!

So, Ta$man continue their winning ways.

And off to the TAB now to plank a small fortune on the ABs winning RWC! 🙂

@Dan54 said in Wellington vs Ta$man (RS):

Don't know wht Naki would put up that (I know it was a joke etc), because we play Ta$man in New Plymouth, so wouldn't of got a crack, unless they were hoping someone took it off Ta$man.

Because there's more than one route to a Shield challenge*: if Ta$man had won it off Wellington and then lost the Shield to Harbour; Harbour successfully defended it to Waikato and then lost it to Otago, and Otago defended it successfully against Northland, then Taranaki would have their only possible challenge this season against Otago in Dunedin on 16 September.

*according to picture in NPC thread

F*** me Star, appreciate the info, and eyes might stop spinning in an hour or so, and brain will try and compute that!😲
