Manawatu v Wellington

[foobaNZ]

Lions starting 15 is solid enough considering who's unavailable. Any idea how long some of those guys are out for?

Bench is very green.

[Duluth]

Manawatu hooker off for a HIA. Looked like solid contact, he shouldn’t be allowed back

[Bones]

@foobaNZ Thought it's a very good XV for this level.

[Duluth]

Shitty pass from PUJ. Wellington looking a bit off so far

[Canes4life]

@Duluth yeah one area of PUJ that I’ve been a bit disappointed with over the last couple years is his decision making on attack. Just not very good at putting others into space.

Brad Shields has made a lively return. Looks in great nick.

[Canes4life]

Put the boost away Aiden Morgan. Another first five that is adamant he needs to kick on almost every play.

[Canes4life]

Aiden Morgan really struggling to control this game. Wouldn’t mind Love coming into 10, the more I watch Morgan the more I think he will always be a battler.

Our halves pairing is our biggest weakness which is a huge worry.

[Stargazer]

Good defence by Iose.

[Canes4life]

Wellington playing all the rugby but just not capitalising. Weird game. Both teams have defended well but attack has been off.

Give the kicking tee to Love ffs.

[Winger]

Only watched for a short spell but Morgan is poor

[Canes4life]

Manawatu have been very cynical in the last 10. Should of had a yellow by now.

Morgan’s arguably been our worst tonight.

[Canes4life]

Preston comes on and has made a huge difference to our speed of ball.

[Canes4life]

Kyle Brown has been very good for Manawatu, especially on defence.

[Tim]

Awful from Manawatu 19 there.

Assume that Wellington have been poor tonight?

[KiwiMurph]

Thuggish from 19 Turbos. Fuck off pal.

[Stargazer]

A sh*t act from the Manawatū 19, but Kirifi should keep his head cool.

Deserved red card for the green 19.

[Canes4life]

Josh Taula puts one of the cheapest shots I’ve seen in a long time on Ruben Love.

Get off the field you clown.

[Canes4life]

@Tim yeah rusty as. Looked good at times but execution lacking.

[Bones]

What a douche. Notable he only tried it on one of the smallest players.

[Canes4life]

Wellington win it 22-6
