      Awesome to see the Naki and Manawatu combining for a haka in honour of Sean.

      Nehe leading the Tika Tonu got me a little emotional.

      Pretty good game to watch. Naki are a very well drilled side. Always seem to have runners set and support players in motion.

      I see the NPC website has players match stats from opta on this page. Click on the players number

      Bunnings NPC Round 1 Match Appointments and Team Lists Bunnings NPC Round 1 Match Appointments and Team Lists

      The Bunnings NPC kicks off on Friday 6 August with Tasman Mako out to defend their Premiership title and a new contender looking to rise up from the Championship.

      Great to see there are stats, but awful way of presenting them. There's no way you can easily compare player stats this way.

      You'd hope he's only out for 2 months.

      Taumateine has been sneaky good for Counties. I think he's been one of the better halfbacks in the M10 this season.

      Far better back play from bop. Black put players into space this week and both half backs looked snappy. But the manawatu defence did give them space.

      Another thing. Chay Fihaki looked really good last night, which is great. But it annoys the living fuck out of me that Canterbury retain Fihaki, an Auckland kid out of Sacred Heart, and allow local lad Sam Gilbert to go to Otago. Both were in NZ U20 last year, and sure, Gilbert is a 15-cum-10 who can cover wing as he did last year for Canterbury, while Fihaki is a wing-cum-centre, but they're near enough postionally that it looks like Canterbury (and the Crusaders) made a choice and the local kid lost.

      Entertaining game. Unfortunate finish for the Turbos with that attack incorrectly called in touch.

      Lineouts again a lottery for both sides.

      Who is the last forward to score a hat trick in the NPC?

      Last forward to score a hat trick in Mitre 10 Cup was Patrick Tuipulotu for Auckland v Tasman, September 7, 2018.

      @ACT-Crusader he's just one of those players that operates better with less time and space... instincts better than his planning!

      also just doesn't the wheels...running off someone shoulder for sprint to the line? perfect...covering a whole backfield?...no

      this was promising,

      *“I’ve enjoyed centre, at the back of the Highlanders season, playing a few games and getting used to it,” Collins said.

      “The risk is, if you are shifting every couple of weeks, you start losing the finer touches which take a couple of weeks to get used to.

      “I’m pretty happy to play at centre for a wee while.”*

      @kev yeah I feel that FB gives him too much time to think about what he is about to do, he seems to work better with less time when playing more on instinct, that said, I'd say his confidence probably isnt where it needs to be right now either, which is why a stint on the wing, and then moving in later in the game might be best for him

      @Tim I reckon Manawatu might have the better pack - at least in terms of the "greatness" pantheon.

      Waikato only has Loe and (for a short time) Messam as regular first choice ABs.

      Manawatu has Knight, Lambert, Shaw and Eveleigh.

      I thought Granger.

      Forgot Nug is from the Poo - My immediate thought was Donaldson

      Pretty good pack.

      How on earth?

      Love the finish of the game. Sums up Southland’s woes. Southland player did all the work to stay in the field of play and get the offload off, only for a basic handling error to happen straight after and game over.

      Kept scoreless in the second half after a big lead. If Southland were a horse...

      @crucial Tall Matt Todd!

      Lineout was rubbish. Missed Parkinson in the first half, but when he came on we lost Makalio and Niuia threw like he'd been taking lessons from Nathan Harris.

      Hope Makalio is nothing serious. One of quite a few we don't have great cover for.

      Once Lomax came on our scrum was dominant, but we didn't really get the full benefit of that.

      Still, points in the bank - onward and upward.

      When Hemepo came on he looked like an All Black - a cut above the average.

      @shark there’s plenty of locks around. Will Tucker was NZ20s this year. Antonio Shalfoon is a great prospect at Lincoln. Was injured all year , but killing it now for Canterbury maoris. Don’t know if their FABs though.
