    Qué?

    Are you referring to that one time I commented on Akira looking slower than usual and you lost your shit and decided I'm a "hater"? Just like anyone else that dares to comment on a Ioane and mentions something that might not be good instead of going on about how everyone should sign up to the church of Ioane?

    As you were then.

    Settle, was just a joke about your dislike of RI. For once, not an Akira white knight post.

    Yeah nah I just don't understand how I dislike RI....is it the posts where I claim he's streets ahead of Ennor and better than Faingaanuku, as well as being the best option for left wing right now.

    Or something else? 😊

    Something else.

      For some reason hairdresser didn’t tell him he’d look like a twat?

      To be fair, I wouldn't mind meeting the hairdresser who'd step up and explain "Mate, you realise you're going to look like a twat?"

        Torn between thinking the team is too overpowered so the result will be meaningless and therefore this should've been a good chance to send out a lot more new caps, and being glad it they picked a strong side.

            Not to be confused with the Australian-born, former Melbourne Rebels player Sione Tuipulotu, who was last month called into the Scotland squad. Formerely with Manawatū, now Auckland in the NPC, the former Wesley College pupil was, before now, eligible for three countries, having represented both Tonga and Samoa at Under-20 level, and also being called into the NZ U20 squad.

            Sheesh, he's covered his bases.

              I'm looking forward to viewing a badly coached, ill-prepared and relatively inexperienced team do battle.

              As for the other team, I also hope Tonga do well.

                Saw Jordie in the crowd watching, along with his 12 year old cousin. Oh, no, that's DMac.

                  Best hope's for this game:

                  No injuries.

                  Some combinations look better than expected.

                      DMac's mullet must have builtin "ground effect".

                        I always enjoy these sort of stressless Harlem Globe Trotters tests. Take them for what they are - entertainment.

                          Looks like a really poor crowd. This doesn't bode well for the Moana Pacifica team surely.

                            This tiny crowd perfectly sums up what a farce this game is.

                            I can't remember a smaller crowd for an AB home 'test'.

                              This game shouldn't have Test status.

                                I've seen a lot of comments on social media that for many Pasifika families the ticket prices were (still) too high.

                                      1. It's Tonga
                                      2. It's severely depleted COVID Tonga.
                                      3. This is MT Smart. If it was at Eden Park more people would have turned up.
                                      4. Tongans have shifted their focus to League.
                                      5. If Abs fans can't turn up to see a cricket score the Tongan fans aren't going to turn up to see their team on the wrong end of it.

                                        I read somewhere that NZR offered this game to Samoa, but that Samoa declined and preferred to play the Maori All Blacks, because they saw that as a better preparation of their RWC qualifiers. So basically, because Samoa got the MABs, Tonga could only get this game.
