NZ Maori v Manu Samoa

[Anonymous]

If they're going to use fake audience sounds, they could at least choose some from goal kicking. That sounded like a player had just made a break

[Machpants]

"right wing flank" wut?

[Machpants]

Nice work Sam nock

[Yeetyaah]

Messy game.

[ARHS]

Selby-Rickit was very impressive tonite

I can't tell if he was impressive or if TJ just convinced me he was by fluffing him every 2 minutes in the commentary.

[Bovidae]

From TJ's comments it is safe to say that the standard of education in Blenheim is poor (referencing Williams' height).

Games like these show that Trask can be a very good fullback, as long as he doesn't need to defend or take high balls.

For Ferners outside NZ. If you go to the NZ RugbyVidz account on YouTube, you'll be able to find both the first and the second half of this game. It's geo-blocked in NZ.

Is it worth a watch?

[Stargazer]

@gt12 Maybe if you turn off the sound?

TJ?

[Stargazer]

@gt12 Yes, and terrible fake crowd noise.

Cheers!

Why was the stadium empty?

[Stargazer]

@sparky Seriously? Have you totally missed that the wider Wellington region is at alert level 2? No crowds over 100 people allowed.

Not their strongest possible line-up, by the looks of it.

Some club footy players plying their trade in Sydney.

And in true Fern fashion, not one score update during the commentary for those of us stuck on West Island.

@act-crusader Bruh, didn't want to post any spoilers.
