Its been all Tasman in the 1st half. Taranaki have looked nowhere near themselves. Perhaps last weeks Ranfurly Shield loss is still fresh in the memory? Tasman started slowly, but for the most part, they have taken their opportunities well. Controlling much of the territory and possession. Taranaki have loads to do, as they look flat and dont look like they have a plan or answer at this stage.
