Obviously going up to game. Should be good as weather forecast not to bad. Naki can do with no more injuries at lock, as Lord in ABs and with Sa the older out. Obviously a couple missing in midfield , though I think the one we couldn't afford to lose is Jacomb at 10.

@ARHS said in Taranaki v Waikato:
Very disappointing indeed if that is truly the Waikato team. High risk leaving so many normal starters out against a strong team like Taranaki. Shant bother to go and support them now.
That won't be the team - they've just pulled the side from last week's match with Counties (same thing they've done the past two weeks). Feels like they've tried to step up coverage this year but some of the teams aren't playing ball.

@Bovidae said in Taranaki v Waikato:
While I agree, the flip side is that you name a team and then make multiple changes before kickoff like Auckland did.
That was illness and injury. People pulling out late is a different thing
No other team is behaving like Waikato over the past couple of seasons. They have disdain for their fans
