Moana Pasifika v Crusaders

[gt12]

Do the Saders have any attack structure?

@machpants they are playing a team that had one preseason game 5 x weeks ago and then isolated at a hotel for 2 x weeks

Yup so the fact they aren't 50 points up is pathetic

Last plsy there bridge at least didn't knock on in contact, he passed it to opposition instead

Oh knocked on there tho, 5 at least now

An undeserved bonus point for the saders, surprised Marshall didn't mention bridges positioning in that maul try

[gt12]

Dammit, Saders get the bonus.

[Bovidae]

MP should have just kicked the ball long rather than run it from inside their half.

Can thank Tima F for not passing the ball to the unmarked man and then turning it over

I was yelling.

I thought that was a decent first match for a new side after a terrible preseason and having to sit out two rounds.

Crusaders might rue this when points difference comes into effect at the end of the comp.

Moana Pacifica are New Zealand's Western Force.

Good effort by MP.
Bonus point for the Crusaders playing some guys that will not play again this season.

Put the top team together for next week after a break ready to tack the Chiefs.
Good enough.

[Bovidae]

Getting Isi Tu'ungafasi back should help the MP scrum. Lindenmuth has his struggles in the NPC.

don’t think so with 8 games in a row they got to rest most of their 23 for the next 5 in a row.

Some of the front liners looked pretty arse tho, bridge leading that charge

[Steven Harris]

I really enjoyed what MP bought to the table ..defence is something that comes from the heart did not think for a moment their would be a 21 points diff between the 2 teams..just a shame they conceeed a try at the end ..
What is clear ,they have got some attack when they have got some front foot ball..

Not sure putting all your donkeys on the field together is the best approach, but I'm not paid to make those decisions.

With LF Reece and Jordan back he might not be a front liner.
