Technicalities of the game let them down whereas the Naki were technically accurate all day.

One happy poster in the Naki here fellas. I am stoked with the shield coming home!

I suspect we will have to be happy with that for season, as I not sure we will have the firepower to win NPC, as I suspect we will lose at least 4 players from today's game for ABs and ABVXs for final week.

Enjoy, Dan.

The two Crusaders unions are both there, meeting in the quarter finals.

Congrats on the shield

Any of the eight teams can win it from here if by eight we mean three or so

QF1 kicking off soon in the capital, with the Lions hosting Counties Manukau.

Couple of match-ups to watch: Perenara v Roigard at 9 and Sotutu v Lakai at 8...

Posted: **Fri Oct 11, 2024 6:48 am**

Lions start really strongly but Counties making a bit of a comeback just before halftime. Roigard looks really sharp.

Yep, Counties giving away too many turnovers early, but looking to come right. Capitalists ahead 19-7 at HT.

Higgins and Proctor in the midfield are very very good

Not entirely sure I agree there. BOP will be way to good for the Hawkeye Guys and Tasman should be in at a canter against the Cantabs, who lets face it are rebuilding. About the only game that should be tasty is Taranaki vs Waikato, which for mine could go either way though I've pick the Naki on hometown advantage.

Battle of the Bays just about to kick off QF2 as the Steamers host the Magpies in Tauranga...

Posted: **Sat Oct 12, 2024 1:54 am**

Hawke's Bay ahead 12-7 at HT.

Nice solo try to my man Harry Godfrey, who's developing nicely. Wouldn't be surprised if he's pushing for higher honours in a year or two.

Posted: **Sat Oct 12, 2024 2:45 am**

BoP gets the last-minute try to win it 19-17.

QF3 between Taranaki and Waikato has just kicked off in New Plymouth.

Posted: **Sat Oct 12, 2024 6:19 am**

Mooloos starting well.

Posted: **Sat Oct 12, 2024 6:19 am**

Surprising lack of accuracy by Naki so far and that kick is a shocker.

Mooloos far more dangerous at the breakdown.

Posted: **Sat Oct 12, 2024 6:52 am**

This has been an issue for me for quite a while now but I believe that the penalty advantage is far too generous. Teams can make 20+m with at least one line break, even getting over the line but held up, but the ref still gives advantage.

I would argue that a clean line break or a play that gets the ball carrier over the tryline should nullify the advantage.

I hear that. Always been in the camp that you make a clean break or kick the ball away, adv over.
Naki backrow invisible and I'd switch Perofeta in to FH. Jacomb having a nightmare.

Absolutely nothing wrong with Finau's tackle. A real rib tickler.

EDIT: A YC?????

Ridiculous card.

The only head contact was Jacomb's head jerking forward with the power of the tackle and hitting Finau.

Mooloo scrape home by one point. Cracker match.

Taranaki gave it a good crack in the second half. Ah well, guess they'll have to console themselves with holding the Shield over the summer.

I was getting really "upset" over some of the officials decisions last night. I was wondering if they had an agenda

:p

Anyway - anyone see why we think Oli Mathis could be the answer to one R H McCaw in a year or so?

QF4 between Tasman and Canterbury just about to kick off in Blenheim.

Predictably, Ethan Blackadder is injured yet again.

Shirley it's time for Razor to get over his infatuation with this perennial sick-note and give a more durable loosie a crack?

Canterbury on fire, leading 33-7 at HT.

He played bloody well at right wing.
