New Zealand NPC Tips & Preview | Round 6

• TAB Staff
Taranaki put together by far their best performance of the season on Saturday, shocking Canterbury in a 40-26 win. Everything came together for the amber and gold, as they repeatedly cracked the visitors’ defence and looked comfortable in doing so, and a lot of their good work on attack was built on their strong presence in contact and at the breakdown. The Bulls forced Canterbury into 18 turnovers, a handful of which coming through the hard work of Kaylum Boshier, and they made the most of that turnover ball, with Meihana Grindlay in particular showing off his attacking prowess.

International Rugby Preview: South Africa v New Zealand – Third Test

South Africa levelled the series 1-1 last week, responding with class to beat New Zealand 33-26. After the lows of the 16-33 defeat in the first Test, South Africa this time were able to close out the game, but it didn’t come without the odd hiccup. Leading 30-14 at the 50-minute mark, the Springboks again found themselves in a comfortable position heading into the business end of the game, but this time their defence did just enough to hold off the fast-finishing All Blacks, with Malcolm Marx providing a couple of big plays to secure the win.

However, it was San Antonio’s turn to go on a hot run from there, as NY gave up 14 points on the trot to allow the hosts to tie the game and they would eventually take a 102-104 lead, but Brunson then scored…
