Great decision on the jerseys… how do you let that happen 😂😂

Idiocracy.

I hope that guy is OK. That did not look flash.

Best supporter ever

Impressive MP scrum. Could be important in this weather

[Damo]

Heck of a start from MP and the Highlanders look to be a bit hungover after the rip roaring game last week.

[Machpants]

reminds me of playing as a kid in swamps, except I bet it's warmer!

[Damo]

That scrum PK looked to go the wrong way.

[Landers92]

Our scrum struggling yet again… it’s not like our head coach was a former all blacks prop or anything. If we are struggling against the Moana scrum then we are doomed against the crusaders scrum next weekend.

Horrendous decision at that scrum by OKeffe, and right in front of him🤦‍♂️

[Stag]

@Landers92 yep, even with how they have been travelling the Crusaders scrum is probably the best in the comp.

Yup. Problem is it doesn’t seem to matter who the ref is, always seem to be getting pinged

[KiwiMurph]

Ironically a much better watch than the game under the roof last week

[Stag]

Does Okeefe wear contact lenses that might be affected by the rain?

[Machpants]

Nicely worked try, kicks are a good call in this weather, even if you can't collect

[KiwiMurph]

Beauty of a try that one

[Stag]

Nice piece of skill

[SouthernMann]

I've got a $10 mulit on JRK to score 2+ tries, te Hiwi and get one and the Highlanders to win. Punt has a return of $1100. Need the lads to feed te Hiwi short of the line.

Miracle that we are up at half time after not playing very well. I will take that.

[Bovidae]

TJ gets the Ta$man reference in but is a year too late about Norris.

Great atmosphere there.

[frugby]

This is going to be a good finish I think. Highlanders bench might see the scrum dominance tip the other way which can only bode well for us...

Might be the best I've ever seen Garden-Bachop play, he was electric in the first half.

It'd be great if they could they could play their home games in Tonga & Samoa

I know Auckland makes sense for most of the training because of facilities and where the players live.

Perhaps the draw could be sorted so they have home games in blocks? 3 games in a row in Tonga then later in the season 4 games in Samoa (or vice versa). The home games would then be like a mini tour for them and they could still train in Auckland for the bulk of the year
