TARANAKI 29-30 TASMAN
When Taranaki had the ball their solid scrum platform together with high tempo passing lost one interception try yet gained four regular ones. However when they were defending, they shipped 13 penalties overall, most of them kickable for Mitch Hunt including one on 64m which gave Tasman a 1pt lead they just about brought home. Lowe impressed and was heavily involved in the Makos' 2nd try; Leinster fans wish him well both health- and success-wise in Saturday’s final against Canterbury.
