Moana Pasifika v Highlanders

[Stag]

Horrendous decision at that scrum by OKeffe, and right in front of him‍️

[Stag]

@Landers92 yep, even with how they have been travelling the Crusaders scrum is probably the best in the comp.

Yup. Problem is it doesn’t seem to matter who the ref is, always seem to be getting pinged

[KiwiMurph]

Ironically a much better watch than the game under the roof last week

[Stag]

Does Okeefe wear contact lenses that might be affected by the rain?

[Machpants]

Nicely worked try, kicks are a good call in this weather, even if you can't collect

[KiwiMurph]

Beauty of a try that one

[Stag]

Nice piece of skill

[SouthernMann]

I've got a $10 mulit on JRK to score 2+ tries, te Hiwi and get one and the Highlanders to win. Punt has a return of $1100. Need the lads to feed te Hiwi short of the line.

Miracle that we are up at half time after not playing very well. I will take that.

[Bovidae]

TJ gets the Ta$man reference in but is a year too late about Norris.

Great atmosphere there.

[frugby]

This is going to be a good finish I think. Highlanders bench might see the scrum dominance tip the other way which can only bode well for us...

Might be the best I've ever seen Garden-Bachop play, he was electric in the first half.

It'd be great if they could they could play their home games in Tonga & Samoa

I know Auckland makes sense for most of the training because of facilities and where the players live.

Perhaps the draw could be sorted so they have home games in blocks? 3 games in a row in Tonga then later in the season 4 games in Samoa (or vice versa). The home games would then be like a mini tour for them and they could still train in Auckland for the bulk of the year

Glad to see Millar looking comfortable. By far his best game of the season, hopefully he can keep it up for the 80

These kickfest games suit him

[KiwiMurph]

Nasty HIAs in every game this round.

Not good

I know you aren’t a fan. Just give him some credit mate, he’s playing well.

[Machpants]

Jeez why wouldn't you take the three

Imagine if DLB could catch. We have had 5-7 points

[Machpants]

Shit weather and a dog fight, take the 3 IMO
