Wow. I'd take the three from there.
I'm starting to see why they want to spend more time in the MP half of the field. Terrible ball security and tackling.
Exits after scoring are so important.

Paea has hands like feet
That's being kind. They're more like toasters.

Awful at the back by Makilio, nice score in the end

Nice one toilet, quick thinking. But Landers almost fucked up another maul versus the inept MP
That's the big work on for MP isn't it? A decent set piece and they'd be much more of a problem for the established teams.

Totally, pretty much every other team could just maul them to death. Landers were really rubbish there but still got the score

MP look good when they have ball in hand. Rolling maul a problem though but they're still in this.

MP are in year 1 , if this was their 2nd or 3rd year then i would be discussing their work ons , i am staggered they are this competitive especially given their disruptive start to the season ..
Check out the Crusaders in 1996 ..had some cricket scores posted against them.. -

Funaki becomes a penalty magnet in a maul.

Check out the Crusaders in 1996 ..had some cricket scores posted against them..I agree Steven, they a boody easy team to like. They seem to be getting more and nore confidence, and getting better with it.

@bovidae the maul that the highlanders had on halfway mark which led up to the penalty should have been a turnover ,scrum MP..
The Landers player may or may not have not lost the ball but he had lost control of the ball after breaking from the maul and then he rejoined ..unfortunetly Fraser was on the other side of the maul ..
This is what pisses me off , The AR and TMO pick and choose when they come into the game ,remember a week ago when the TMO jumped in and changed a lineout call. -

@steven-harris Agree. I HATE that the attacking team can do what they want in a maul but the defending team always have to join from the back in the eyes of the ref.
