Did Uelese not throw that ball about 5 meters forward?
-
Big crowd. Why is this being played in Hamilton?

Juicy Fest concert festival at North Harbour meant they had to re-lay the field and due to the hot summer conditions the field isn't ready in time (noting Moana have moved bases from Mt Smart to Albany).
Amateur hour.

Pretty poor half from Moana and are probably lucky not to be down by a bit more. Poor in every aspect so far, especially set piece, an area that they haven't been too bad in to start the season.
-
Rebels have looked reasonably good at times, especially opening 10 - 15mins .... good fast ruck ball and some nice lines.
MP taking some unnecessary options.. like the final pushed pass of the half, as a case and point.
If they set a base and be a bit more selective about when to roll the dice on the 50/50s they will go close -
Amazing how easily MP put themselves under pressure.
Slow ruck ball, a near inability to get front foot ball compounded by poor skill execution.
Amazing they're still in this.
-
That period of play is the best they've looked all game.
And Jules gets 61 SR tries.
-
Well done to Julian Savea.
-
@antipodean well played Julian, well played.

-
How's that not a penalty try?
-
Nice lazy running from Taniela Tupoi there.
-
Hmmm Pickerell deems Norris as fine joining the maul and then goes and penalises him for entry.
-
@African-Monkey such a terrible ref
-
@antipodean Thak fuck he's retiring.
There's the game.
-
29-23 Rebels FT. Set piece the difference, ironic considering the Rebels could barely throw a ball straight in their first 2 games.
The Rebels have a good enough squad to be a bottom end finals side. Whether they do that or not us another story.
