[Stargazer]

What a start from Moana Pasifika! Team try to Fine Inisi, with a big role for Toala in the lead-up.
Good first kick from McClutchie.

[KiwiMurph]

That has to be try of the season

[Stargazer]

That late tackle from Pulu on Tavatavanawai looked ugly. Attempted shoulder hit, almost hitting Tavatavanawai in the head.

[Stargazer]

[Stargazer]

Great scrum from MP.

[Bones]

Pretty tempted to support Hutt Old Boys Force here.

McClutchie looks like he's had a festive off season...

[Stargazer]

The Force should have been penalised for a high tackle. And they were on a warning, so that should have been a card.

[Stargazer]

That's ridiculous. How can it be a cynical offside, if Thrush takes a quick tap, not allowing them to get onside?
Yellow for MP, while it should have been one for the Force.

[Stargazer]

And now a try to the Force. It should never have come to this.

[Stargazer]

The teams are not officiated equally. Mataele slapped the ball forward without any attempt to catch the ball. That deserved a card.

[Stargazer]

What did Medrano get sent off for?

[Stargazer]

McKee's yellow upgraded to a red.

[Stargazer]

If McKee's tackle was a red, then that should be one as well. At least a yellow.

[Stargazer]

Yellow it is. Callan again. Same as last week.

[Stargazer]

Another Force player putting his shoulder in a MP's player's face. Another yellow.

[Bones]

Chase could get this.

Why did it just sound like the commentator said the force were making their way into jigaboo territory?

[Bones]

How is that not a 22 drop out? It was from a kick at goal.

[Stargazer]

It's not Jonah Mau'u's night. He's had a few shockers.
