NZ Maori v Moana Pasifika

[KiwiMurph]

Surely Moana Pasifika can find a better hooker.

[Yeetyaah]

MMT butchers a sure try. Unluggy uce.

[taniwharugby]

Wainui was hit high by Leicester I think, asusme the HIA is form that?

@Stargazer said in NZ Maori v Moana Pasifika:

You guys are just jeolous that we got the best halfback since Aaron Smith.

Bryn Hall is the second best halfback in NZ super rugby, but apparently Foster has some silly cap on the number of Crusaders that makes the ABs - something about not wanting to show how good Razor is. So Hall doesn’t get selected.

[Yeetyaah]

Dunno why Moana aren't going for the corner. It's an exhibition match.

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah Their whole approach has been that of a test match, not an exhibition match.

[Kiwiwomble]

@Yeetyaah I guess these guys want to be seen a serious international level players

[taniwharugby]

Otere needs to work on his kicks to the wing, or stop

Because Leni Apisai is shit at line-out throwing.

Guys wanna win first.

[Yeetyaah]

Moana has a weak line-out

Apisai....

[Stargazer]

Haha, Aso v Proctor in that niggle.

[Dice]

Nice read by Perofeta there.

[taniwharugby]

have to think Taukie'aho wont be far away after the break, if not at the break

[Stargazer]

Sean Wainui failed his HIA.

He was playing well too.

[Dice]

Very even scrum, which is good. Not many resets.

[KiwiMurph]

Why didn't Moana Pasifika pick Tolai as a hooker.

[Bones]

How can Apisai be so bad at throwing?

Trask was starting to look like NPC might be his limit. Sweet try.

Our locking stocks are looking good even with all the weird super selections.

Disappointing from a Highlanders perspective to see Paea going backwards more often than not.

Is Black the best "traditional" first five in NZ? So refreshing to watch a 10 with a boot that can lead a team around. He's had a massive year.

Best rugby I've seen Stevenson play in the first ten or so minutes...where did he go?
