Tasman v Otago

[jimmyb]

I hope Te Hiwi and Timu have been practicing their tackling technique this week

[SouthernMann]

Jake has probably spent more time than running opposition to Jim than anyone else. Albeit on the training ground.

[Duluth]

This is on now

[Chris B.]

Nice start for Ta$man.

[pakman]

Blackadder is racking up impressive minutes!

[Grooter]

Beautiful Try all started by Lucas Casey

[Frank]

The young Ta$man winger is very quick.
Is that the guy who played for MP in Super?

[Chris B.]

@Frank Yes. Going to the Chiefs next year.

[SouthernMann]

Havili needs to see red. Straight forearm to the throat

[Bones]

You are actually able to lead with the fend, but you can't contact someone in the head - particularly when it's an elbow.

Marshall setting the record straight.

[reprobate]

Marshall is so fucking dumb, fuck it's embarassing.

[Gunner]

Can someone enlighten me, forearm to the face, why isn’t that man in the bin?

Surely if we’re looking after heads, it shouldn’t matter if you’ve got the ball, or you’re the tackler?

It's a fucking disgraceful decision. The same penalty as Nareki just accidentally getting in the way at the ruck and impacting nobody. What a joke.

[Landers92]

Elbow to the face should’ve been minimum yellow.

That Tavatavanawai sub, that has to be AB enforced right? Didn’t look injured and didn’t have any physios around him while sitting on the bench. Odd

[handa457]

@Landers92 Odd - you'd expect if that was the case he'd be on the bench. Not subbed from the starting lineup.

Looked to me like his right arm/shoulder wasn't in great shape. Looked to be deliberately not moving it and a bit ginger.

[SouthernMann]

Henry bell can fuck right off.

[Bones]

50/22.... except it's a penalty

[Bones]

Ta$man "big" names are probably their worst players so far. That was yuck by Havili with an unmarked Taumoefolau. Or as Marshall would say, Taumoefow

[handa457]

My screen died for a couple of minutes. What happened to Saula Ma'au?
