The best thing you will see today -

If it was in landscape, and could see most of the team at a time, maybe.

Tickets only $10 too easy. Grabbed mine, also an option to donate some extra to Tongan recovery efforts so did so. Easy ride now that I'll be working in South Auckland

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before? A couple of other franchises were chasing his signature

McClutchie held conversations with several teams for the 2022 campaign, including the Crusaders and Hurricanes. However, Moana Pasifika came to him early in the piece, and he jumped at the opportunity for a role the size of which he likely wouldn't have had with other franchises.

International powerhouse and Wallaby Test centurion Sekope Kepu will Captain Moana Pasifika for their debut season in Super Rugby Pacific.

Kepu’s duty gets under way with this Friday’s pre-season game against the Gallagher Chiefs at Mt Smart Stadium.

With 110 Test caps and three Rugby World Cup campaigns to his name, Sydney-born Kepu has been a natural choice for the Moana men. Kepu was the first prop to reach the 100 Test milestone for Australia and he is their most capped prop of all time. In total, Kepu has played 295 first-class matches including 141 appearances for the Waratahs and he brings a wealth of experience and wisdom to the emerging talent of Moana Pasifika.

@tim Nice to see young Grammar-Carlton lock/Loosie Felix Kalapu getting a run at 6 in the third 30.

I've got some divided loyalties in this match with the number of Magpies in that backline.

From what I've seen in the game against the Chiefs, Alex McRobbie was the best MP forward. He should be in the starting XV, as a lock or a blindside flanker.

So season over, with what looks like a serious neck injury & surgery.
