@Duluth Interesting seeing Toala moved to fullback. He's played there a lot for Hastings Boys', but not much for the Magpies.
It's a pity Kepu is the captain. MP's scrum always improves once 'Apikotoa replaces him.
-
Carn Moana Pasifika! Great chance to get some wins under their belt
-
Is Visinia injured again?

He’s playing club rugby in Auckland
Huh, that's just weird. The Magpies usual 12 is starting for MP at 15 and the usual 15 is playing club rugby in Auckland.
-
Why is Drew Mitchell dressed like a fisherman on TV?
-
Glad they aren’t talking over the singing.
-
That penalty kick almost went backwards
-
Nice hands from MP so far
-
Luckiest backline move ever lol
-
Super fast ruck clearances. Held up MP.
-
Unlike with the Blues, Rebels get a warning in the first ten mins for persistent infringement.
-
MP in!
-
Scrum, lineouts and maul looking good for MP so far.
-
0-7 MP
-
Kicked away good turnover ball there.
-
MP somehow defended a well formed maul
-
But not this time. Rebels in.
-
Not much resistance to that maul
MP scrum is an issue. They’re going early b/c they know it’s shit
-
Same weaknesses for MP

It started well but has gone to hell. Short arms going to penalties now is an issue. Someone was in the refs ear asking for a card too
-
7-7
-
Lots of handling errors
-
Not sure that was a penalty.
-
Rebels looking more organised than MP.
-
At least the ref is warning before jumping to cards.
-
Winger was vital in that maul try. Lol.
-
14-7
-
That conversion came down from orbit.
-
Beautiful run from Kepu, should have passed right!
-
Knock on
-
-
MP look great ball in hand. 11 is having fun out there
-
Hodge has a massive boot.
-
Boy, cynical penalty there from the Rebels. MP hot on attack.
-
Another maul try coming up..
-
MP aren’t good going backwards. Bad decisions and inaccurate
-
Wow, how did they survive that?
