With a very strong record against Wellington, I am backing Tasman to cover the +5 handicap, and possibly upset the odds with a win.
- Wellington have won their last 3 matches.
- Wellington won their last match against Tasman by 6 points.
- Tasman have won 8 of their last 9 matches against Wellington.
- Tasman have won 2 of their last 3 matches.
Head to Head
Tasman have won eight of their last nine matches against Wellington. It is quite an incredible record, but last season Wellington beat Tasman 25-19 away from home.
Wellington Form
Wellington have started the season well and look odds on to defend their title at the moment. The defending champions are fourth on the table with three wins from three but have a game in hand on two of the sides above them.
Wellington won their opening match 22-6 at Manawatu before defeating Otago 28-5 away in round two. Last weekend Wellington comfortably saw off Southland 39-17 in their first home game of the season.
Wellington Injuries & Team News
Wellington were not at full strength this weekend but may not be again this time around. They face Canterbury on Sunday and will want to keep players fresh for a repeat of last season’s final.
Tasman Form
Tasman have also made a good start to the NPC season, winning two of their three matches.
A 27-15 opening-round win at home to Otago was followed by a strong performance to beat Auckland 24-12 at home. Tasman were thoroughly outplayed at the weekend at Northland, losing 32-5.
Tasman Injuries & Team News
Tasman were thrashed at the weekend but did rest some big players with this fixture in mind. I expect quite a few changes to their side.
Verdict
Tasman have a strong record against Wellington and should be at full strength. I'm backing the visitors to get within five points and perhaps win.
