It must be said that that was an exceptional line run by Marty McKenzie to dissect 2 defenders. he manages to ground the ball on the line.

WOW - TMO ruling on a McKenzie try from a short way out but Gibson-Park was brilliant there getting his pass away to the 10 while under immense pressure

Naholo 5m out for Naki

Another penalty to Taranaki. They are executing their running lines and rucks very well. Waikato tackler not rolling away.

Tarankai advance over the advantage line off the line out. they set it up well. Naholo comes infield looking for work and a skip pass finds him just outside the 10 channel as he hits the gap at pace.

Kerr-Barlow everywhere but is making plenty of errors too. Power scrum by Taranaki earns them a penalty

Taranaki on attack now as the forwards rumble up. They bring the backs in and a good break by Marty McKenzie ends in nothing as he knocks on

Waikato looking good and in the 22 of the 'Naki. Webber with a great run to set up good go forward ball. Taranaki offside's at the ruck

Hall not rolling away and Waikato will take a shot. Kerr-Barlow dictating the game well as Waikato get back into it

Welcome to week 3 of the ITM Cup. Wednesday night game to start it off and Taranaki get off to a great start and nearly score if it were not for a forward pass
