JRK looking dangerous

Nice pass to no one Christie.

Ta$man make a mess of clearing the ball and concede a soft try 17-3 after 20

Talking about gifting 7 points to the opposition

Naki look well drilled

He's had a very good NPC. Must surely be in the AB XV squad?

Good decision by the ref there

Naki 7 Loft having a whale of a half

That is some dirty play by Shalfoon - hits him in the back of the neck and head after he has landed

@KiwiMurph

Should have been red. No mitigation.

Ta$man been pretty ragged at times - that gift try was a shocker! Unfortunately, the Naki are playing well.

We came back into a bit in the last 10 minutes, but will need to play a lot better in the second half.

Lord is a big unit - he's towering over the Ta$man lineout (which admittedly is pretty short)!

They called that a knock on against Reece in the Bledisloe

Another dumb penalty from Blackadder

He has not had a great game

That is close to the try of the season

Spectacular rugby Taranaki

FFS how dumb.. its not technical -- kids know it ffs

Taranaki so much better at the breakdown. Think the ref has gone easy on Ta$man for things like diving off their feet too

Game on.

Jacomb is talented but his game management has been poor second half

Nice hands

Code looks so simple when done well

that's AB quality low probability options by the Mako there

Congrats Taranaki, well deserved.

Congrats Taranaki. Deserved winners.

Fun game.

Pleasing to see Lord show his class

Not good enough.

Too many errors, too many dumb penalties and at times some weak defence.

Got back into it with 10 minutes to go, but it would have been a burglary!

Well done, Taranaki!

Yeah!!! Fen yeah!! You Fen beauties. We got the shield!!!

I'll calm down soon fellas!

Think we get the booby prize of playing Canterbury next week, as well.

Probably the one I least wanted!

Man this Bulls team has won everything under Neil Barnes, the championship, premiership and the log of wood and looking likely to win another grand final this year too. Why isn't Barnes a coach in demand at the moment?

By crikey @Dan54 you'll be happy about that!

I can understand that Chris, you won't want either team to lose!

@Dan54 I definitely want Canterbury to lose!

I think they're the toughest of the bottom four though, so I'd rather have left them for you guys!

@Chris-B Can understand your reasoning mate. I obviously want us to win next week (and right through), but can't see us winning final if we make it that far. I think we will be without Perofeta,, Lord and probably Riccitelli and Jacomb with at lest ABXV!

@Dan54 Successful seasons for both of us, whatever happens!

Enjoy your night!

For sure mate.
And I will enjoy being at QF next week thinking it all good regardless of result of that game!

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