Manawatu v Counties

[Steven Harris]

Superb try from the Turbos ..slight change in alignment from the backs after the Steelers had been using the rush D with good effect ..like the look of TK Howden , looks an athlete

[Dice]

Halliday can kick the crap out of the ball. He might give Jordie a run for his money.

[Duluth]

Lazy defence close to the ruck from Counties. Well finished by Manawatu though

[African Monkey]

Brett Cameron looking very good so far. Looks to be enjoying himself without having a massive target on his back like he did throughout his time at Canterbury.

[Steven Harris]

Great run from the Turbos 7 , but that D from the fullback was just awful, good finish from Cameron ..looks a very good pick up ..!

[Dice]

Laulala has been pretty bad.

Have we heard the school of each player in this game, yet?

I think it took a full five minutes to hear Wainuiomata mentioned...

I've liked what I've seen of him since watching him play for the NZ Schools Barbarians team. Castle confirmed he has signed for the Canes. The size you need for a 6.

Motuga starts the break with a good pass and then finishes it. Good try.

[Steven Harris]

Hurley Langton having a stormer ..!

The most annoying part of his commentary for me are the random changes in volume to inject enthusiasm.

[Bovidae]

I wouldn't say no to Motuga at the Chiefs.

[TJ]

So much head contact in this game

[Steven Harris]

Laulala!s night getting worse

[antipodean]

What clear release?

[Dice]

This ref has been harsh on Counties at the breakdown.

You guys had a chance to call him up as injury cover this year, but chose a few others ahead of him.

[antipodean]

Leger doesn't look good at five-eighth at this level.

[Steven Harris]

CM have just looked totally disorganised ..

[Stargazer]

@steven-harris Not getting the rub of the green with this ref, either.
