Pasifika SR team

[Dice]

I reckon Leuila will probably end up training with the team during pre-season or during the season. Super teams tend to have a bunch of unsigned players train with them just in case of injury.

I don't think you'd want Will Havili getting much game time if McClutchie or Lealiifano get injured.

TIMA FAINGA’ANUKU COMPLETES OUR KĀINGA! 🙌🏽🇹🇴

Former Highlanders & Crusaders outside back Tima Fainga’anuku rounds out the Moana Pasifika Super Rugby Pacific 2022 Squad 🔥

Tima has been impressive for the Manawatu Turbos this year and we can’t wait to see him in action at Mount Smart Stadium next year! 🏟

[ARHS]

They missed out by not signing Leuila in my view.

I don't think we have space for him, but I wouldn't have minded seeing him in a Chiefs jersey. He could be a nice 10(12) off the bench.

@daffy-jaffy not a bad squad at the end of the day , I seriously would have signed D’Angelo Leuila though , must be close to the unluckiest player not have made a squad ..would have picked him before a couple in NZ super squads.

Moana Pasifika's jerseys for 2022

[Kiwiwomble]

...another blue home jersey unless its the white one?...theyre pretty cool

[Rapido]

LOL. Blue.

[Rapido]

But, Yay.

I'll get to revive and update this thread some more next year:

Closest would be the Force anniversary kit:

[Kiwiwomble]

@rapido also a similar blue to the waratahs, not sure yellow trim is enough to separate them from a distance

[KiwiMurph]

at least that's a proper alternate strip that's a) an entirely different colour to the main strip and b) one colour rather than combination of colours/patterns so that it doesn't look like that Bulls strip above.

[Kiwiwomble]

@kiwimurph just wish we'd go with some old school rugby designs, stripes or example, if you're going to have a second colour then make it noticable

[Rapido]

This is the current designs for the Auckland derby of the Auckland Ethnics v the Auckland Geographics:

[Rapido]

Fortunately the Geographics don't still use this:

[Kiwiwomble]

@rapido that was such a sick jersey, was annoyed we only had a faint watermark rather than full pattern like the canes/chiefs and blues all did

[KiwiMurph]

@rapido said in Pasifika SR team:

You realise both teams have an away strip right?

[Kiwiwomble]

@kiwimurph yeah, but there have been LOADS of examples in the few years where we've had to ave both teams wearing always jerseys or something stupid like changing at half time

Yes, I linked my wrong thread. Kit clashes. I should have linked this more generic one.

terrible homogenous non-entity kits thread. cultureless, identityless blurs.
