NZ Maori v Manu Samoa II
-
He's not getting much love today but I still think Joshua Ioane had (once?) the makings of a classy player. Can pass and move well. Did note though he may have some balance issues. Might also be carrying an extra kilo or two for a back. Not drinking the night before I hope.

Did he also say Nock and Black took control for the first 60 mins?

" Take away the 2 penalty tries it's 24-14." Yes Ken thanks for the maths lesson but we don't remove the penalty tries.
You know when that one team blatantly cheated to stop the opposition scoring

How was that held when the Samoan player won the ball?
He wrapped his arm and held Hall back
I was talking about the penalty against the Maori at the ruck after the Maori breakout.

Sorry. Missed that. Was anger posting on some stupid rugby website

the ref is balancing it up a bit isn't he? I don't mind, it's keeping it flowing.

also the MAB replacement tight forwards are either tired or not quite as much starch as the starters..Manu Samoa forwards now good pick and go.. Try! 38:19 at FT. Conversion, 38:21.

Improved play from Samoa. Maori were let down a bit from numbers 6 through 9 throughout the game. Are the lob passes a tactic?
Disappointed by the extended and overdone haka. Just seems like pure intimidation and over indulgence to me. Nock looked like he was possessed. I prefer to watch the rugby please.
Hard night for the ref. Some harsh and odd calls at times.
Thought Nankivell and Wainui were great. Norris had huge workrate when he came on as did Selby Ricket throughout. Well done Team McMillan. -

If Samoa can sort their discipline issues out, I think they'll do well against Tonga in their RWC qualifiers. They were pretty good on defence, have some good attacking play and they seem to gel well. Much more experience, too, than the Tongan squad.
Are Tonga getting some extra players from Europe out of quarantine letter?
