Moana Pasifika v Hurricanes

[Winger]

Numia is scrummaging well.

MP should have improved after having a full preseason and no Covid-disrupted schedule, but to me it looks like they've regressed rather than improved.

Yep - the small crowds they get at the moment are only going to get worse.

[Stargazer]

@KiwiMurph I think part of the problem is that Mauger is trying to give all players a run instead of selecting the best possible team. His selections are a head-scratcher sometimes, although they have a few injuries, too.

[Victor Meldrew]

Roigard is mature beyond his years. Looks so solid - even under pressure.

[Stargazer]

Boring and messy first half.
MP are so bad that the Canes should be up by more.

Much better than yesterday's games

[Stargazer]

@Winger I'd say slightly better.

[Winger]

Roigard and Cameron combo looks VG again. With proctor having a top game at 2nd 5. He's playing at a different level this yr

[Stargazer]

MP wearing club socks?

Fitting being they are club level

[Jailbreak7]

That pass from Flanders was gold

I don't get the hype surrounding Lakai. Seems average from what I have seen.

[Tordah]

what was wrong there with Ardie charging down the penalty kick? Ref was wrong, wasn't he?

I think you can only do it on a free kick.

[hydro11]

We have let it slip in the second half so far.

He's only 19. Just a pup.

[Jailbreak7]

Ref got fed up and awarded the try anyway. Naholo has been busy though.

[akan004]

@KiwiMurph Didn't realise he was that young.

He was very good in the NPC. I imagine it is harder to dominate Super Rugby as a small loose forward given most players will be bigger and stronger than him, so he'll have to adjust. I'm sure he'll get there, though

[Stargazer]

I think the floodgates will truly open from now.
