I actually really looking forward to this, although I picked Drua, there was a bit to like about MP last week.

Duluth

This just kicked off

Similar crowd to yesterday? At least they’re vocal

Duluth

Good Drua try. A couple of weak tackles though.. Enari and Havili

Yep. Probably slightly more actually. Drua based in Melb would pull better crowds than Rebels

Duluth

MP ahead 15-8 at HT

They’ve had about 2/3 possession but have struggled to convert it.

African Monkey

Well worked and well deserved Try to end the half for Moana. They should be out of sight with how dominant they have been.

Nepia

Poor D by the Drua to let the try scorer get round near the post.

Bovidae

MP should be ahead by more. Both wingers have made some poor decisions near the goal line and lack finishing class. Toala has been good.

African Monkey

@Bovidae Ah Wong needs to back himself more in that corner.

Can't believe it's only 15-8. Feels like there were 3-4 tries left out there by both sides.

African Monkey

An absolute idiot decision from Sione Havili to not take 3 now they're on the backfoot. Madness.

African Monkey

And now MP score haha from turnover ball and a man down. Go figure.

African Monkey

And again! Look at this Moana team go!

Tim

Two tries when a man down is something you don't often see.

chimoaus

Do we think that was a red card? Not sure there was any head contact?

mikey07

@chimoaus Nah definitely not was shoulder on shoulder.

African Monkey

@chimoaus Rubbish decision.

Dumb from Ah Wong but not a RC offence.
