[AllBlacks]

Who can stop the Taranaki Bulls in 2024?

[jallancam]

love the NPC its a great comp just need the crowds back

[Asymmetric.edge.]

It's so crisp and devastating, and I agree. Naholo needs to be put in consideration for the all blacks

[iamlochy]

How is that a yellow for the 9 when there was no offside line created? When the full back got tackled there was no ruck so surely the 9 wasn’t offside?

[justinkauffman]

County's 12 has some strong Barney Rubbles under him. Great run!

[taakeyourtime]

Taranaki have some incredible athletes in their backs. Naholo was devastating, Jacomb giving off young Beauden vibes and JRK is a very promising prospect too. Will be hard to beat this year

[seanyshepfit]

Can someone please explain the offside yellow card?

How can it be offside when there never was a ruck to begin with?

Bloke went down and popped the ball after being tackled, no ruck. So no offside line?!

[jmackdaddy]

The Taranaki Youngsters are starting to shine and the Forwards are unbelievable with support and passing. THC all day

[amosmaka]

Jacomb is awesome!! I'm a Waikato Man myself but I am happy that Jacomb has signed on with us Chiefs!!

[marleyrobinson]

Beats world rugby by a country mile. Awesome game

[miguelangel]

As always Sotutu missing on one side of the ball.

[BlueMoonday]

What's with the blue socks on the Naki no. 5

[Aggieappa]

Sotutu was considered the all black no8 but he doesn't really show out in this npc game.. There is not really much difference between super rugby quality and npc rugby quality. We need to get rid of super rugby and concentrate on the npc.

[sikelinaivalu]

A yellow card for a fictional offsides is actually insane

[dxfifa]

Chiefs disgraceful for not playing Jacomb. Better than Perofeta for Taranaki last season

[Raniera_Gaming-ex]

get kini to the abs runs harder than talea

[SioneDunk]

refs are out of control. 10 in the bin for offside??

[raf]

The Ref and the Commentators not understanding that a Tackle is NOT a ruck and the Yellow Card was Bullshit because it was in General Play..
They had 3 replays and still didn't understand how the rules work..
