Taranaki beat Bay of Plenty 21-3 in the the ITM Cup in New Plymouth on Saturday evening, scoring two well taken tries in wet conditions. Here's a look at one of the moments of the match though, this massive tackle by Taranaki centre Isaia Tuifua.
There was a big shot in the lead up to the Kurt Baker try, but this one was easily the biggest of the match, maybe the season, as Tuifua got in a great position to smash Nick Evemy.
The referee requested that it be checked by the TMO, just to make sure there was use of the arms, but as everyone at home could see, that wasn't a problem and the game carried on, with the big tackler being congratulated by his team mates and cheered by the crowd.
