Moana Pasifika v Reds

[African Monkey]

@taniwharugby Mabey is out if his depth.

Missed a blatant high tackle on Papuni earlier too.

[taniwharugby]

Some tidy work for MP to get Savea over

[KiwiMurph]

Nice try.

Eddie's pet Vunivalu embarrassing in defence

[Duluth]

Savea barely noticed the 10’s attempted tackle

[Stockcar86]

No arms in that tackle from the player in white

[African Monkey]

Fine nearly gets the intercept. Good half from Moana and a deserved 10-0 lead at halftime.

Good turnout in Whangarei too in what isn't the best of nights.

[Dan54]

Geez I didn't see this score at oranges. Bloody quietly pealsed though, but by geez what the f*** are the Reds doing?

[taniwharugby]

Paisami looks about the only person capable of breaking this game open, if MP can keep him tied up it will go a long way to winning this.

I do get frustrated with all the protestations for pens these days...that last play, very clear attempt at an intercept yet several players still calling for a pen.

[African Monkey]

@Dan54 They don't seem to be enjoying the conditions and Mafileo is giving their scrum fits.

[Bovidae]

MP needs to continue to attack, but play at the right end of the field.

[African Monkey]

@Bovidae It looked like the wind was heavily favoring the Reds in the first half so they'll have that going for them in the 2nd half.

[taniwharugby]

Pretty fucking dumb

[African Monkey]

Brain explosion from McDermott.

[taniwharugby]

Justbas the Reds look to be getting well on top, gives MP the chance to regain momentum

[taniwharugby]

How can you call it a maul as it is going to ground.

[taniwharugby]

Wtf, that ain't a fucking red.

[Duluth]

Thomas gets some decent minutes now

[taniwharugby]

Quick to call that advantage over, pretty much identical to the one earlier he let run for ages

[African Monkey]

@taniwharugby Well it was deliberate and at the head to be fair. Act of stupidity from McDermott.

Paisami still looks the most dangerous bet for the Reds.

[Duluth]

No points during the red
