C'mon the Naki!! I probably not going to get home in time to go up to New Plymouth on Saturday, so do it for me so I can come up the next week!

Good to see Lord starting for the Naki this weekend, tried to post team but file too big or something! Anyway good team with Josh Lord and Tom Franklin locking scrum.

Kruse

Yeah booiii.... 7-0

Duluth

Very casual from Tasman. Who threw the intercept?

Stargazer

@Duluth Radio commentator said Robinson.

Kruse

Damn, 7-7

Awesome attempted tackle from Naholo..Not.!

Stargazer

@Stargazer said in QF - Taranaki v Tasman:

@Duluth Radio commentator said Robinson.

I wouldn't take that commentator too seriously, because he just said Hunt converted the try, while it was clearly Robinson.

Kruse

10-7, 20 minutes gone.
Shot of the little girl holding the "UP THE NAKI" sign on the sideline sums up Taranaki.... looks like she's being forced to do it as punishment, would rather be anywhere else in the world.

Stargazer

Naholo injured?

Stargazer

Staying on the field. For now.

How often do you see players getting the ankle and boot strapped only to succumb to that injury before you know it

Got a bit of time for Ant Strachan as an analyst one of the better ones around

Stargazer

Rona has come on for Naholo.

Stargazer

Radio commentator still thinks Hunt is Tasman's goal kicker.

Edit: his co-commentator now corrects it.
