That's pretty reckless from Peni - looked like more than a penalty to me. Plenty of time to pull out and didn't.

Chris how good is the big fella Tomasi Maka top try scorer this year

Nice kick by Davey and nice try to Maka out wide. A bit of justice there!

@Grooter He's going well.

Two for him!!!

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
