MP's next quick turnaround may be brutal.

They almost just need to give up on a game. They should be able to beat plenty of the Australian teams and have an outside shot at the top 8.

MP defence has been atrocious, missed tackles might be their top stat? Don't think canes can take anything from this.
Yeah, I think that the playing schedule has taken its toll on MP.
But unsurprising that the Canes get a big win when they select a record high number of Magpies.

@stargazer the new hooker
Shit, I hadn't realised a new hooker had come on and thought you meant Kereru Symes. Was ready to have a meltdown.

@duluth Wellington have only got O'Reilly left for NPC, with Thompson also on the move to Hawke's Bay and Coles and Aumua with the ABs.
Not sure Aumua will make it this year

Take a sip every time the commentators say âexperienceâ
They mention how someone has experience at every bloody moment even when âexperienceâ doesnât matter in that context. Hate cliches constantly hammered

A few performances stood out for me.
IWL created some much needed go forward at lock, awesome to see him back.
Morgan played well at first five, wouldnât mind seeing him get a crack in the bigger games.
Goosen was threatening every time he touched the ball, mr consistent.
PUJ carried well and got us on the front foot many times. He just needs to work on cleaning up the little fumbles and defensive lapses that seem to be plaguing his game atm.

I was thinking he looked back to business but then realised MP were going the "tackling optional" method.

Hard for the guy to get back to his best when he only gets off the bench time in the big games (at best) and reps with the B team

Just too many in this game. Shame but this will ensure he has nil chance of replacing Proctor

Canes desperately needed those 5 points to stay in the mix, other than that we didn't get that much benefit out of the match... MPs lack of depth is really hurting them, they were very poor at the breakdown & awful at defending the rolling maul, at times they were ok at scrummaging.
When Canes get back to playing one match a week we should be looking to field our best team each week, play all our best combinations together, which will give us far better flow in our game, making the Canes much more of a threat.
and he scored a try. Pretty chuffed for him!
