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

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 individualWas he taunting the opposition or congratulating his teammates for that scrum at the death?
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.

@Kirwan you clearly see him shooting his mouth off to one of the MP players he made sure to come in close make sure all the players could hear what he had to say , had it confirmed from a contact at the ground
Doesn’t surprise me he’s got history -

Doesn’t surprise me he’s got historyThey seem fine on social media lol (the Blues and Moana players). Think it was nothing more than friendly fire, which is great, as there will be plenty to play for next time.
Great to see a close local derby go to the wire and the Blues knew how lucky they were to get out of it. Great for the competition too.

@Kirwan a great scrum is when it’s 8 on 8 not when one team is 2 forwards down and a back packing on the side scrum .
Humility is something I respect about many of the best players who have worn the black jersey over the years .
No question his comments were designed to rile some of the MP players up and it obviously worked .
But when you’ve just got out of jail by the seat of pants , a little humility goes a long way
