I wonder if they will all take a knee against racism?

[muddyriver]

@stargazer lolagi would be eligible through the 7s loophole?

[Stargazer]

@muddyriver Yep, he'd have to play the required number of legs of the World Series for Samoa 7s to be eligible for Samoa XV. Leali'ifano could do the same. But Visinia is 28 and Leali'ifano 34; would they be interested doing that and how do they combine that with playing for MP?

Manu Samoa halfback Jonathan Taumateine joins Moana Pasifika – Moana Pasifika

[Steven Harris]

Just got told Southland Prop Chris Apoua has signed with Moana Pacifika ..was originally going to the Crusaders , but was only a wider training gig..very good pick for MP.

Azelo and Joe join Moana Pasifika – Moana Pasifika

I checked out the MP website looking to buy a supporters Cap but they were sold out. Maybe i'll order a Magpies one coz -- same thing.

[Yeetyaah]

@daffy-jaffy I've actually tracked down a Central Vikings one so if you want that it would also work.

[Daffy Jaffy]

@yeetyaah Not sure that Orange is my colour. The MP one is more me -

[Stargazer]

Eight Magpies in the MP squad.

[mikey07]

@stargazer Holland would be absolutely disgusted how dare they go over the quota

[Stargazer]

@mikey07 That's because the Canes are the only franchise using Magpies quota and have now probably only 3 in the squad, unless they see the light and sign one of our hookers instead of the coke sniffer.

Penitoa Finau joins the Moana Pasifika Kāinga – Moana Pasifika

[Bovidae]

It's looking less likely that either Manu or Kapeli will be involved with 8 loose forwards already selected.

[Yeetyaah]

@bovidae big shame coz Kapeli is stupidly underrated. Wouldn't mind him at the Chiefs again.

@stargazer said in Pasifika SR team:

Eight Magpies in the MP squad.

With that many in the squad they could come back into NPC pretty banged up and bruised given the number of games they will probably now have to play. Much easier for the Magpies when all they ever did was train at the Hurricanes!

Samiuela Moli and William Havili join Moana Pasifika – Moana Pasifika

[Dolamite]

How many spots do they have left to name?

[Tim]

@dolamite IIRC, three players still to be named:

1 loosehead prop

Chris Apoua

1 halfback

Manu Paea

1 1st five

D'angelo Leuila

[Daffy Jaffy]

@tim Todays announcement Moli and Havilli cover the Hooker and outside back. Presuming they carry 38 as per the NZ teams. The rumors suggest Manu Paea is 3rd half back and Chris Apoua the final Prop.
