Going to be a long season for Manawatū
-
easy YC

More entertaining game than I thought it would be. Manawatū will be ruing their poor defensive lapses.

@ARHS said in Manawatū v Ta$man:
Wow. Wonderful try Manawatū. Drew Wild is great to watch
Quite liked his involvement level. Has that spark too.

Watched the highlights package, fun match. First time I have seen Springer.
That attempted 'tackle' by Fidow for the first try by Leicester F ... oh.my.god
I seem to have been drawn back in a bit, last time I seriously was watching rugby, and had a sky subscription, Quentin Strange looked the best young lock in the land, and looked like he had what it takes,IMO. What's happened there? Did he get a major injury, IIRC?

@Rapido Quinten's had no luck with injuries. In Super rugby, he's behind Whitelock and SBarrett - but, every time one of them gets injured it seems Quin gets hurt immediately after.
Picked for the ABs in 2020 and then got injured in camp, before he played. I think that might have opened the door for Vaa'i.
I reckon he's still a decent prospect as a test lock (though he's not a fern favourite). He's not massively tall - slightly more than SBarrett according to the stats, but he's mobile and does most things well.
As Nisbo noted last night, the Mako are much better when he plays - quite noticeable last year when he got hurt and then came back.- got us back on track.
