Moana Pasifika v Chiefs

[Bovidae]

The travel to Pukekohe is much easier than to Nukuʻalofa. More changes than I expecting. MP aren't an easy game anymore.

No Sione Havili for MP, but who is Tomasi Savage?
More changes than I expected for Chiefs but strong bench again. Had hoped Jacob Norris and Oscar Koller might get a run.
Disappointing and unfortunate that Lord and Trask seem to be knobbled by lingering injuries yet again.

It's Tom Savage but they made him sound like an islander. Same with Allan Craig who is named Allani.

[ARHS]

Didn't think Ardie Savea would be spelled until Havili back. MP bench does not look very strong while Chiefs are stacked there. Real test of depth.

Ardie is still out with his hamstring injury.

[ploughboy]

really happy to see wrampling at 12 . had a horror run with injuries but just seemed to be getting back to form in npc.

Vaa'i out, MSR starts.

Thanks for the heads up, quick visit to the fantasy website

Havilli needed to pass

[African Monkey]

Another high scoring game on the cards judging by the first 10 mins.

[Steven Harris]

Kick off obstruction about as obvious as it gets ..ref looked at it did nothing

[African Monkey]

Looking ominous sadly for Moana, starting at the scrum, where O'Neil is dominating Mafileo surprisingly.

Stevenson having a day out so far.

[Mattasaurus]

mis-match
MP haven't turned up

[Steven Harris]

@African-Monkey I think that might be Jared Profit on that loose head side who is giving Mafileo a hard time

[Nepia]

Thought kick off was 5:30. What's happened to MP?

I might watch the Warriors live and then come back to an extended replay of this one.

Sorry haha, for some reason I always get those 2 mixed up.

I always forget which one got an ABs callup a long time ago as well.
