BOP v Manawatu
-
Howden, Vijoen, Iose probably the three standouts for Manawatu. Manawatu have no backs.
-
@Canes4life Thought Filimone played well for the 50 minutes I watched
-
Even taking the tries out of the equation Joe Johnston seems to have improved his game significantly this season. Would be surprised if doesn’t make someone’s super squad
-
Both the Chiefs and Hurricanes head coaches were in the stands so you could be right.
As an aside it was an interesting game. I'm not sure BOP were good or made to look good by the quality of the opposition. Maybe a bit of both. Either way I liked the different game plan they had last night... none of the usual territorial percentage rugby and a lot more risky running and passing .

@Snollygoster-0 Is Veveni Lasaqa injured? I haven't seen his name on the team list for BOP Dev either.
