Surely that was early tackle on Sapsford - penalty try

Watched it again, definitely

Weeds growing on the speedway track - I guess Puk hasn't started the track prep for the season yet @Higgins

Some terrible defence mixed with awesome attack from both teams in this game.
Manawatū's Howden looks like a promising player. Would love to see him and Flanders - who was excellent when he came on - as a 6-8 combo for the Canes, but Holland and co. no doubt have different ideas.
That first try from Ollie Sapsford was brilliant. His second, with that quality offload from Kereru-Symes, was great, too. Some nice tries from the Poo (and awful defence from us), too!
Just when I was grumbling that Kienan Higgins didn't deserve an NPC contract, he scored two tries. Not sure he's changed my mind, but hats off for the lad for taking his opportunities.
Our bench made the difference.
Glad our B team got the job done; expect our C team for the game v Northland, next week.

Glad to see we are on the same page for once. A Howden, Savea and Flanders combo would be seriously impressive. Flanders and Howden are both athletic young players with big futures IMO and then Brayden Iose coming off the bench as he’s been in great form. Let’s hope Holland plays ball. No doubt he’ll pick Prinsep and Kirifi though. 🤮
