Two debutants for Moana Pasifika in Cultural Round – Moana Pasifika

@Tim That isn't good news, so Lord must have had a setback in the last week.

Although not listed I think Ah Kuoi's injury was a MCL strain, so only two fit locks at the moment.

@Duluth Far out we really are looking like a club rugby side on paper.

Could be another 60-70 point hiding.

[ARHS]

Some interesting selections in both teams and several players I want to see given a chance. I might make the trip up for this one

@gt12 yeah, one of the players I most wanted to watch in derby games this year.

[Mr Fish]

Can you pick a semi-unproven lock on just a handful of minutes for the All Blacks? Assuming he's fit for the Test season and only out for Super Rugby, that is.

I'd still lean towards 'yes' but obviously wouldn't be too surprised to see Razor and co opt for someone with more games under their belt this year.

[Duluth]

A lot of MP penalties early

[Duluth]

Messy work at the back of the scrum by Sititi

[taniwharugby]

great to see Craig getting plenty of minutes this year, consistent game time does wonders for some

[Victor Meldrew]

Does the Ref moonlight as a foghorn?

[gt12]

Chiefs look like shit so far

[gt12]

Credit to MP, making their tackles as the Chiefs go through their phase play

[gt12]

Good jinx, we finally get there after a bunch of phases

[Yeetyaah]

The fall off of Samisoni Taukei'aho should be studied by scholars.

[gt12]

Ha ha LCF getting bumped off was definitely on my bingo card

[gt12]

Owwwwwww

[Yeetyaah]

Red card

[gt12]

RC for an attempted clean here?
