    I think Fakatava did an excellent job replacing Smith as a starter. No surprise Hammington only gets 2 minutes.

              We have given it a good go tonight but we are outclassed. We deserve a try.

                  Zarn Sullivan has to be a lock for the Maori team against Ireland.

                        Well-played Blues. More than deserved that win.

                        Call me biased, I don't care, but I think MMT was better than Sotutu and Fakatava better than Christie. Also think de Groot was better than his opposite.

                        Highlanders held back by that stupid red card, and by players who are just not up to it (Banks is just one example).

                            Exactly. Both MMT and Sotutu were very good. Fakatava great signs for ABs.

                              @KiwiMurph I didn't say Sotutu wasn't good. I just think MMT was better in this game.

                                @Stargazer MMT played well but Sotutu was my MOTM.

                                No argument about Fakatava, massive upside, better skill and decision making.

                                  Whereas Fakatava clearly outplayed Christie.

                                    I'm in for MMT as an AB. Better option than Frizell.

                                        Sotutu showed a full range tonight, all those soft skills as well as power when needed.

                                          @Machpants You haven't been watching him well enough then. It took him some time to get back from his injury, but since about halfway throught the comp, MMT has been consistently very good. Just unlucky to get Covid/ flu and another injury during the season as well.
