@KiwiMurph Didn't realise he was that young.

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

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.

Canes MOTM VS Blues playing 8. Still learning at 7

He seems a busy player. Gets thru loads of work and looks solid. Def. one to watch.

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.

Thanks, didn't know that, thought you were always allowed to do that

[Victor Meldrew]

Ardie's dummy is a work of art.

[Jailbreak7]

Please trash talk Lakai again

[Stargazer]

MP have clearly given up. They look exhausted.

[Victor Meldrew]

One-sided now.

He couldn't score 3 100m tries if he tried

[KiwiMurph]

Add Moana Pasifika as another error by NZR under CEO Robinson.

[Stargazer]

Karl Te Nana calling this a statement game for the Canes. No, it isn't. They're trashing the by far weakest team in the comp.

[Stargazer]

@KiwiMurph I don't think NZR could have refused the addition of MP. Politics.

0-54 77 minutes

[Stargazer]

Cameron 7 out of 8 with the boot, thus far.

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.

Earlier than previously imagined at this rate.

missed the last one to make it over 60

Final score 0-59.

9 tries with 7 converted. Last conversion hit the posts

[Victor Meldrew]

Well that was a fun training run.

Just hope MP can get their act together - been good to see them competitive.
