All teams seem to be missing players, some important BFs.

There must also be two other Chiefs players still unavailable through injury from the Taupō preseason game (Grace Houpapa-Barrett and Chyna Hohepa).

Yeah 330 weekend, awesome for most. But during the week? WTF?

[Bovidae]

As there is a double-header I assume they want to give the other teams ample time for warm-ups. 4 pm would still have been OK.

[Stargazer]

The Hurricanes Poua didn't do a haka.

[Canes4life]

@stargazer we'll be here all day if every team did a haka. Is there going to be a haka for every game?

[Canes4life]

This game has started with plenty of energy.

[Stargazer]

@canes4life I think so. And you're exaggerating, obviously. Two minutes more per game isn't that much. Just a bit of time taken from the Sky build-up.

[Crucial]

Hurricanes Poua locks are a bit short

[Canes4life]

@stargazer obviously, but it's a little overkill if every team did a haka for every game.

[Canes4life]

@crucial obviously a franchise policy.

[Crucial]

That was nice from Tubic

[Canes4life]

@crucial good try by Manawa after some pressure from Poua.

[Stargazer]

@canes4life I'm used to it, watching 1st XV rugby. I like it. It's just very Kiwi.

[Canes4life]

@stargazer fair enough. Each to their own and all that.

[Crucial]

Wickliffe and Tubic created that back on halfway then the two of them finished it off. Very good rugby.

[Crucial]

Boomfa!
