Is Dalton Papalii injured?

He got concussed last game

staring soon

Sotutu has been prominent. He scores and its 14-12 Taranaki after 30mins

You can see how important JRK is to Taranaki when he isn't there.

CM will be happy with that score playing into the wind.

@Bovidae Samate has been poor.

Classy last try by Taranaki. The kick from Jacomb was very good

Those might be the two worst lineout throws I've seen from Muli.

Boshier was sat on his arse twice by Popoalii, but he is a very good player at NPC level.

Well happy with that performance in the end, good to Grindley back on field. Quite a difference when came into 9 for Nawai, both these fellas play for same club too.

Spoon Bowl against Harbour next Thursday
