Wellington vs Northland
-
A late blow for the Taniwha ,Sam Nock has withdrawn from this afternoons match against Wellington, pulled out this morning with a soft tissue injury, not a major , but with the season ahead not worth aggravating as well..
Wil Grant goes into the starting XV , and Dan Hawkins who was running water goes onto the bench ..,halfback cover is either Hawkins or Cooper, hopefully neither
@steven-harris 80 minutes for Grant then!!

@j77 good point , it will be either Cooper or Hawkins , Hawkins has the skinniest legs , so will give it to him ..

@steven-harris get set to watch those box kicks go backwards!
@j77 I'd like that post if it werent true!!
Grant has a good game, offers more of a running threat than Nock, but yeah I thought a few weeks ago he was injured and likely out for a time, so fingers crossed he can go 80!!
@Bones they are just match threads now, not Province related forums, deal with it

@taniwharugby Kaliopasi is my choice for back up half. Pick and go all day boy!

I've stumbled into the taniwha forum?
Like our team, that's pretty shit hot for NPC. Unfortunately I will get to watch about as much of this as I will the Bled.
@bones pretty decent team at this level. I saw Dominic Bird in Newtown during the week. He is a unit of a man, hopefully his height gives us a good advantage at lineout time.

@machpants said in Wellington vs Northland:
TJ called into ABs for injured Christie
That’s what you do when you have an injured halfback. You use your 3rd halfback as cover. Except if you are Northland and you don’t have a 3rd halfback because you couldn’t organise a few drinks in a brewery. Really I mean FFS.

this game is live on Prime
-
Goosen electric from the back.
-
That was poor by Ranger letting Goosen run around him
-
That looked like a knock on, but poor ruck defence
-
Welcome to the NPC Taine Plumtree. Two tries in 5mins. Amazing start by the Lions.
-
Set your clock on a terrible Taniwha start .Coukd be a cricket score
-

@taniwharugby old legs don’t get any faster
-
Poor miss by the ref there though
-
Plenty of refs call that still in the ruck
-
Superb scrum. Numia and Aumua powerful.
-
Is the ref watching? Not straight throw
Forward pass, knock on and now not straight, 2 leading to tries
