Soooo do Moana belong in this comp?
Heartbroken for them, really thought they'd get this one.
It’s early days. Yes they do 😀
Drua certainly do, they've almost knocked over as many kiwi teams as all 5 Ozzie ones
It can take more than a couple of years to build a team from scratch. We want Pacific players playing here not in NH.
The problem with Moana is they don't have a fanbase if they insist on playing in NZ.

@KiwiMurph They should have played games in Napier and Porirua (Jerry Collins Stadium).

Thought Plummer held the Blues together
Can't agree. He was very poor I thought.
Goal kicking was poor, but the rest of his game was fine. Defence was particularly good.

Worth a try. Mt Smart is a failure.

Yep and nowhere to set up overseas anyway, they made up from PIs so where do you have a base thet has the facilities?

The behaviour of Reiko Ioane was low rent in my opinion ,to get in the faces of the MP players at games end is what started the scuffle seriously..!
Talented player but i cant say i am fan of him as an individual -

Ofa would demonstrate his strengths if he was selected on the correct side of the scrum to start with.
I’m guessing it’s AB instructions. They must be considering taking 5 props to the cup and freeing up a space in another position

Yep and not Canes at Porirua etc, so crowd is all their? Aussie, South Island teams etc could/should be played in those places.

That's unfair to Ofa and the Blues IMO. Let him make his case in the position he's best at.

Of course he was congratulating his team. Both Ioanes attract weird criticisms that are not directed at other players doing exactly the same stuff.

He ran in and hugged Dalton. Whatever happened after that wasn’t broadcast

I agree. I’m pretty sure that’s what is happening though

@Duluth gave his team mate a hug and then rattled his mouth off

What did he say? Or are you guessing.
