Thought Plummer held the Blues together

Can't agree. He was very poor I thought.

Goal kicking was poor, but the rest of his game was fine. Defence was particularly good.

@KiwiMurph They should have played games in Napier and Porirua (Jerry Collins Stadium).

Worth a try. Mt Smart is a failure.

Soooo do Moana belong in this comp?

Heartbroken for them, really thought they'd get this one.

It’s early days. Yes they do 😀

Drua certainly do, they've almost knocked over as many kiwi teams as all 5 Ozzie ones

It can take more than a couple of years to build a team from scratch. We want Pacific players playing here not in NH.

The problem with Moana is they don't have a fanbase if they insist on playing in NZ.

Yep and nowhere to set up overseas anyway, they made up from PIs so where do you have a base thet has the facilities?

The behaviour of Reiko Ioane was low rent in my opinion ,to get in the faces of the MP players at games end is what started the scuffle seriously..!
Talented player but i cant say i am fan of him as an individual

Ofa would demonstrate his strengths if he was selected on the correct side of the scrum to start with.

I’m guessing it’s AB instructions. They must be considering taking 5 props to the cup and freeing up a space in another position

Yep and not Canes at Porirua etc, so crowd is all their? Aussie, South Island teams etc could/should be played in those places.

Was he taunting the opposition or congratulating his teammates for that scrum at the death?

[Kirwan]

Kurt comfortably grabbed the backup hooker role from that, good to see him find some form.

That's unfair to Ofa and the Blues IMO. Let him make his case in the position he's best at.

Of course he was congratulating his team. Both Ioanes attract weird criticisms that are not directed at other players doing exactly the same stuff.

He ran in and hugged Dalton. Whatever happened after that wasn’t broadcast

I agree. I’m pretty sure that’s what is happening though

@Duluth I assuming they see Moody and Ross as starters only, not bench impact. Tu'ungufasi was good off the bench on the NH tour last year.

Pretty impressive to go 80 as a prop these days.

[Steven Harris]

@Duluth gave his team mate a hug and then rattled his mouth off

What did he say? Or are you guessing.

[Steven Harris]

@Kirwan you clearly see him shooting his mouth off to one of the MP players he made sure to come in close make sure all the players could hear what he had to say , had it confirmed from a contact at the ground
Doesn’t surprise me he’s got history
