Moana Pasifika vs Chiefs

I think/expect that the return fixture (April 16) will now be a Chiefs home game. It would have been the midweek game otherwise. Good to get MP playing again, and to give them a home game.
The Super Rugby Aupiki games are to be played at FMG Stadium Waikato on Sunday so it would make sense not to play there the night before.

Weird af. Reihana covering halfback? After the way Moana played v the Crusaders idk if it's wise putting out a half-assed squad.
I reckon it was more that the Crusaders were poor, but I guess we will get more of an idea from this game. Crusader depth is not what it once was.

“When we found out that we were going to be playing Moana, because of their situation, we really committed to going deep into the well to try and make this game happen,” he said.
“Some people might say that’s a little bit silly of us, because there’s an absolute risk that we could go up there and get beaten by a team that’s really hungry, we don’t know what they’ve been doing behind closed doors the last three or four weeks.
“So that creates a certain amount of anxiety. But we’ve got to put our own desires to the sideline and just do what we think is best for the competition. -

Christ ref, they’re just diving over it.
At least we are in.
So on the breakdown last week it was pointed out that our cleaners aren’t staying on their feet like the NH and that teams should trust the ref to stop defenders being off their feet.
Nope. Defenders flopping and the only way you can get the ball is clean low.
