15th August 2010 11:52AM
Mooloo's narrowly lost to Taranaki this evening after a late penalty saw the Naki win by 10points with a final score of 33-23.
The Mooloo's played with heart for the 80minutes, even with two of our boys (Liam Messam and Romana Graham) in the bin after an altercation with the Taranaki tight forwards in the 68th minute.
Trent Renata kicked well for the duration of the game along with strong performance by try-scoring Save Tokula and Romana Graham.
