Hurricanes v Moana Pasifika
-
@canes4life Aye?
-
Justin Marshall wont be happy 😂
-
All from a very poor Danny Toala option
-
That's some uncharacteristically soft and porous defence.
-
@antipodean Almost the whole MP backline is backing up from Friday.
-
@antipodean MP look very flat but hardly suprising given their schedule ..
-
@steven-harris And then they have to back up again on Saturday haha......poor buggers.
-
@steven-harris Yep, several players played 80 minutes against the Landers and are now playing again. And their best backrow is Tu’ipulotu-Stowers-Funaki. Only Stowers playing tonight.
-
@stargazer Yup it's their preferred first choice loose trio, but Motuga needs to be there with Funaki and Stowers in their full strength team. He's quality.
-
@african-monkey to be honest ,i think in the long run this will be good for MP being tested from these NZ teams ,each week you see incrumental improvement in certain areas ,they took a massive step back in terms of discipline against the Landers ..when they do hold the ball they can create opportunities ..
I think they are travelling way better than the Drua who are playing some very average OZ teams and struggling in so many areas capable of scoring brilliant tries but for most parts looking like they have all met for the first time on the field -
@steven-harris Looking forward to the Drua v MP game on 14 May!
-
@steven-harris Yup agreed. I feel like they'll be a fairly strong outfit come year 2-3 once they've spent more time together.

Those guys are nobodies and Bayden Kerr. MP have experienced players mixed in there which makes a big difference.
