Auckland v Manawatu

[Stargazer]

@Canes4life Yeah, keen to see how he goes at this level.

By the way, I find it confusing that his name changes back and forth from Waqa Nalaga to Epeli Waqa. Anyway, I read recently (don't know whether it's true) that he is the younger brother of Napolioni Nalaga, who's had a pretty good career; and another brother Inoke, who plays for Agen, and all with a father Kavekini Nalaga, who's played for Fiji at the 1987 RWC.

@Stargazer Good that you cleared that up. I was going to ask if it was the same player. He looked dangerous for the NZ U19s.

[Duluth]

That maul looks ominous for Manawatu

[Duluth]

Nice touch Spencer

Both midfielders have been good

[African Monkey]

Manawatu in. Auckland discipline has been poor.

[Duluth]

Clark should’ve done better

[Stargazer]

TK Howden has been really good.

[Stargazer]

There he is! Great try.

[African Monkey]

Manawatu in again, and again, Auckland's discipline letting them down.

[Steven Harris]

Thats an excellent try by the Turbos

[African Monkey]

Payton Spencer tackling like his father in that try haha.

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer Peita as well , always stands out in Auckland club rugby ,Northland boy from the Hokianga

[Stargazer]

Hmm, not convinced that was grounded. Would love to see that from a different angle.

[African Monkey]

Both goalkickers in form tonight.

[Bovidae]

It seems that Armstrong-Ravula and Nalaga have swapped boots to support Ukraine.

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer all the Canes loosies are in great form which is awesome to see.

[African Monkey]

More bad Auckland discipline.

[Steven Harris]

Been impressed with the Turbos forwards , for a team with a lot of no names their efforts are keeping them in the game

[Stargazer]

Hadn't noticed it before the radio commentators pointed it out, but Armstrong-Ravula wears two different coloured boots. One yellow, one blue!
