Shame for Fakatava. Hes had a great game

Torian

Taranaki 8 having no luck at all

McClutchie looking pretty good at halfback

Sullivan has been showing JRK how its done in the first half.

That looked like an incredibly dubious call. Try. No forward pass.

Bit of a shame, surely business end of the competition deserves a bit more consistent officiating than what’s on display in this game.

Naki losing the collisions. They need fresh legs.

Take the 3

Blame Dan Waenga, the local AR. You see him motioning it went forward.

A good example of why IWL has never gotten a genuine shot at test level

ACT Crusader

Looked good

KiwiMurph

Rough on Naki

ACT Crusader

Ref was in a terrible position

ACT Crusader

Need a score in the next 90 seconds.

ACT Crusader

Terrible LO tactics in that situation.

Yeah it was silly however his arm first connects with Jacombs forearm then rides up to a seatbelt so probably only a penalty. Low degree of danger.

Still hes not quite good enough for higher honours for mine.
