Hoping that Moses Leo gets a run ..this kid is rapid

@Steven-Harris which side and what number?

[Steven Harris]

@taniwharugby in the pink team,don’t know the number...out of the Takapuna club in Harbour

[Bovidae]

Leo is 13 according to the team list on the YT feed.

Plenty of NZ Schools players involved across the teams.

[Stargazer]

Can't say I really enjoy watching this stream. Only one camera; not clear and sharp; no commentator.

It's better than nothing, I suppose.

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer you can say all that again ..really frustrating and whoever the DJ is , well they are definitely stuck in 70s house music 😂

[taniwharugby]

@Steven-Harris could be the DJ from any of the M10 Cup stadiums!!

[Stargazer]

@Steven-Harris The culprit.

Inferno women looked a bit more hungry than their opponents in last game.

Rhodes Featherstone looks impressive

Bolt men all class. Rokolisoa very impressive

Unfortunately he looked a bit injured or tired in second match.

[Steven Harris]

@ARHS plenty of strapping on the right leg

Starts at 1pm today. Live on Sky. Roasting sunny day at the moment but that will probably change three times

[Bovidae]

The final placings after the round robin stage doesn't really mean anything if a team gets hot in the playoffs. All teams can still win the tournament.

Was kinda neat watching from behind the players benches yesterday. This is a great development event. Spreading the pro's across the teams is a great idea. Collier looked great at priming his team mates. Brazier and Hirini looked like great leaders too. Finals could go any way. Some of the newbies lacked confidence yesterday so continuity and team patterns were compromised. But I think these will be much better today and looking forward to seeing it.

I thought that a lot of the early disjointed play was an effect of not playing together much. Often there wasn’t a player backing up or cleaning/securing when required.
Friend’s daughter was very apprehensive in first game as expected but have to say that the coach and other players/captains have been amazing at giving her confidence. She got Lomu’d in the second game and that sparked her into getting involved. Suddenly fired and ran the play to break open the game at the end.
Looking like a scorcher today.

Yes spot on analysis. I heard a few discussions. It will be interesting to see those who gel into team frameworks best. It will be the quieter more focused ones who shine through I expect.
