Moana Pasifika v Waratahs

Not exactly the atmosphere of Suva is it

It's just stupid to have two Super Rugby teams in the same city, especially if they're playing home games on the same weekend.

It would have been awesome if they could play in Tonga or Samoa, but even in NZ there are better options.

Tahs all offside and MP are denied a clear penalty in front of the sticks to go six ahead.

edit - pays off in the end as MP get a try from the resulting lineout balls up by the Tahs.

[Grooter]

Otago & Moana's favorite son Abraham pole with yet another try

[Stargazer]

Porecki, you greedy bastard! Geoff Cridge was about to pick up the ball to try scoring his first Super Rugby try and then Porecki pushes him forward, picks up the ball and scores himself.

Good game

Looking forward to the second half

[nzzp]

And come on Moana Pacifica

[Stargazer]

That rule never made sense to me. The opposition team have a foot in touch, and the scoring team get their try ruled out.

[nzzp]

That's a bullet dodged

How do you rule it otherwise? Apply advantage?

[Stargazer]

@nzzp I don't know; that might indeed be the way to go about it.

[Damo]

Oh no.

[Damo]

YC I think. Not much of a lift but still potentially dangerous.

[Stargazer]

Slightly worse than yesterday's; yellow. IMO

just. don't. lift.

[Stargazer]

Come on Moana!

[Damo]

I don't think so. Hand on touch. I suspect.

[Stargazer]

Elbow on the line.

Poor body position from the winger. He needed to get lower and carry the ball in the correct side.
