Visinia is back for Moana Pasifika.

Did they ever give a reason why he wasn’t making the 23? He was fit enough to play club rugby in Auckland. I don’t think his form was that bad?

He's the Tei Warden of MP?

But in truth, no idea, he didn't really play enough to be in good or bad form.

Lol 5 out of 23 are home grown, like that's something to be proud of. 5, FFS. Still at least their two best players are now starting, tho the old buggers might not have the stamina to go all the way

Actually think that's a good result for WA.

Squad changes MP:

Tomasi Alosio & Anzelo Tu’itavuki have been ruled out of tonight’s match and will be replaced by Tima Fainga’anuku & William Havili

Either MP get their 2nd win or the Force mathematically stay alive for the playoffs - should be fun.

Bones

Shit, casual effort from McClutchie there. Was a real chance to put pressure on.

Faingaanuku saves him.

Stargazer

Great team try from MP!

Bones

That's one of the dumbest acts in rugby these days. He even tried to flip him on his head. Moran

Stargazer

Surprise, surprise, it's Levi Aumua. YC, lucky. Another ref might have given red.

Stargazer

MP should get extra line-out practice. It's awful.

African Monkey

Moana Pasifika remind me of the old Blues teams. Awful at set piece to the point where you just know the opposition will score when they concede a penalty 40 meters out or closer.

I was worried about Kahui's shoulder there. Aumua trying to be a tough guy - idiot.

MP needs some ball to have a chance.

Bones

That maul and run cements my thinking - MP should be looking to sign Thrush and Kahui for next season.

Stargazer

Yusss, try Lindenmuth!

Stargazer

F*ck, that could have been McClutchie's first SR try.

Barnstorming! Not exactly the try you expect him to score.

Start with a new forwards coach
