Nearly 100 points all up

No, it's not an All Blacks game during the Rugby World Cup. It was Taranaki's 49-47 defeat of North Harbour. Taranaki's points came from two tries by George Pisi, one try each by Jayden Hayward, Mahonri Schwalger, David Smith, and Samuela Vunisa, and three penalties and five conversions by Beauden Barrett. North Harbour scored their points from three tries by Matt Luamanu, two tries by James King, and one try by Chris Smylie; Mike Harris kicked three penalties and four conversions.

Otago finally have an embarrassing season behind them, with the final nail in the coffin being Manawatu beating them 46-24. Manawatu got their points from tries by James Oliver (no relation to that bellend behind those unappetizing "school dinners"), Craig Clare, Hadleigh Parkes, Rob Foreman, Lewis Marshall, and Karl Bryson; Aaron Cruden added four penalties and two conversions. Otago's scored from a try and a conversion by Glenn Dickson, one try each by Alando Soakai and Paula Kinikinilau, and a penalty and two conversions by Chris Noakes.

The last game for tonight featured Wellington and Southland, Wellington win 27-14. Wellington's points came from tries by Tajhon Mailata, Alapati Leiua, and Ged Robinson; Lima Sopoaga scored two penalties and three conversions. Southland still managed tries by Glen Horton and James Wilson, both converted by Robbie Robinson.

While Southland were being trampled by Wellington, the Kiwis opened their Four Nations campaign against England, the score was 24-10 to New Zealand. New Zealand’s points came from a try and four goals by Benji Marshall, and one try each by Junior Sa'u, Lance Hohaia, and Shaun Kenny-Dowall. England’s points came from a try and a goal by Gareth Widdop, and a try by James Roby.
