and seems odd Southland resting Selby-Rickit for such an important game for them???

[Stargazer]

@ARHS He left the field injured in their last game.

@Stargazer aha - thanks

Is Charles Alaimalo related to Solomon? Interesting to hear the commentator pronouncing his name how I would've thought is properly. Don't recall the same for Solomon in super rugby.

[nakosi]

Very painful to watch.

[Stargazer]

@Bones Yes, his brother.

[nakosi]

Schoking level of rugby. This is bad.
Really bad

Not as bad as the refereeing of that breakdown.

[Stargazer]

[Bones]

[taniwharugby]
