      Still ‘a step or two behind’: Waratahs keep Aussie hopes in check

      Still ‘a step or two behind’: Waratahs keep Aussie hopes in check

      Waratahs

      Angus Bell, Dave Porecki, Archer Holz, Jed Holloway, Geoff Cridge, Will Harris, Charlie Gamble, Rahboni Warren-Vosayaco, Jake Gordon (c), Tane Edmed, Dylan Pietsch, Lalakai Foketi, Izaia Perese, Mark Nawaqanitawase, Alex Newsome

          Moana Pasifika

          1 Abraham Pole, 2 Ray Niuia, 3 Sekope Kepu (C), 4 Veikoso Poloniati, 5 Samuel Slade, 6 Michael Curry, 7 Solomone Funaki, 8 Henry Time-Stowers, 9 Ereatara Enari, 10 Christian Leali’ifano (VC), 11 Timoci Tavatavanawai, 12 Henry Taefu, 13 Levi Aumua, 14 Tima Fainga’anuku, 15 Danny Toala

          Reserves: 16 Luteru Tolai, 17 Ezekiel Lindenmuth, 18 Joe ‘Apikotoa, 19 Alex McRobbie, 20 Jack Lam, 21 Jonathan Taumateine, 22 Lincoln McClutchie, 23 Solomone Kata

          Unavailable due to injury: Isi Tu’ungafasi, Don Lolo, Lotu Inisi, Anzelo Tuitavuki, Mike McKee, Alamanda Motuga

          Moana Pasifika team named to play NSW Waratahs – Moana Pasifika

          The match is significant for Sekope Kepu as he will play against the team he served for 141 games. Similarly, this game could see Christian Leali’ifano etched in to Super Rugby folklore as he is just nine points away from reaching 1,000 Super Rugby points.

                    It's just stupid to have two Super Rugby teams in the same city, especially if they're playing home games on the same weekend.

                    It would have been awesome if they could play in Tonga or Samoa, but even in NZ there are better options.

                      Tahs all offside and MP are denied a clear penalty in front of the sticks to go six ahead.

                      edit - pays off in the end as MP get a try from the resulting lineout balls up by the Tahs.

                          Porecki, you greedy bastard! Geoff Cridge was about to pick up the ball to try scoring his first Super Rugby try and then Porecki pushes him forward, picks up the ball and scores himself.

                                That rule never made sense to me. The opposition team have a foot in touch, and the scoring team get their try ruled out.

                                    How do you rule it otherwise? Apply advantage?

                                      @nzzp I don't know; that might indeed be the way to go about it.

                                          YC I think. Not much of a lift but still potentially dangerous.
