Lets all catch our breath. That was a sizzling half of rugby from Waikato. They opened the scoring and after Taranaki tied it up, Waikato turned it up with some seriously good rugby.scoring four unanswered tries. In all fairness to Taranaki, they weren't terrible. Waikato were just much better and allowed their back line to use their speed and skill. Taranaki just did not have an answer. Do not think this game is over though, if Taranaki can get some more possession in the second half, they can come back into this game. Brace yourselves, we are in for some second half
