Leppien looks seriously broken. Shalfoon on.

He's a bad bad man is Semisi Tupou Ta'eiloa

This stags defence is such a shambles

Dave Havili firing after the early shot from Peni.

He's a pretty dominant player at NPC.

Another one for Dave!

Big fend and a ball off the foot that goes his way!

Another try from a big fend by KT.

Getting a bit ugly now.

@Chris-B Maybe the first one hundred pointer coming up if the Southland defence does not pick up?

@Higgins Usually slows down with subs etc - but it's looking pretty comfortable.

Couldn't have been a Shield Challenge of course!

Imagine making Havili look a million dollars. Terrible performance by Southland.

Is there a TMO for this game? That's a clear PT and YC.

@Chris-B said in Southland v Ta$man:

Plenty of time to pull out and didn't.

thats what she said.. gets coat and leaves

Nothing positive to add about Southlands performance, how the fuck did they beat BoP?

Bevan's enthusiasm on commentary for a team getting absolutely creamed is pretty funny

Manson should be in our nz 7s team

Ta$man don't appear to realise that there are two halves to a game of rugby...

plenty of time left ..a game of two halves surely not? who knows would make it more fun if they did though

@Higgins A bit of normal service resuming!

67 points all up in 56 minutes.

74 points in 59 minutes = Scott Robertson is about to hire both defensive coaches.

Very entertaining attacking rugby at least....

Ta$man outside backs turn and defend like props.

We do!

We just calculate our hourly rate and realize we're only being paid for 40 minutes!

@Grooter I love watching an 8 hit it up like he does, this is something we lack in the ABs, so often our guys slow as they come into contact or step into it looking for the 50-50 off load or quick recycle which rarely happens with today's defences.and our cleaning.
