        Media release:

        Moana Pasifika team named to play the Brumbies – Moana Pasifika

        Sekope Kepu will Captain the team and play his 150th Super Rugby match in his 12th year of playing Super Rugby. He amassed 141 games for the Waratahs between 2008 to 2019 and has played 9 games for Moana Pasifika.

        A special debut beckons on the bench, with Lotu Inisi set to make his first Super Rugby appearance. He is joined by his older brother, Fine Inisi in the substitutes. The Inisi’s have played 1st XV rugby together at Westlake, Rugby Sevens for Tonga and NPC for North Harbour together, and will finally be able to add Super Rugby to their impressive list.

        Unavailable due to injury or illness: Isi Tu’ungafasi, Mike McKee, Don Lolo, Penitoa Finau and Tomasi Alosio

          I hope this is going to be a fun game to watch and not a one-sided massacre.

          Go MP!

                Imagine how good Moana Pacifika could be if they put as much effort into their rugby preparation as they do their pre game…

                  @Stag Have you been drinking vinegar? You are so negative and seem to have very little understanding of the significance of MP just being in the comp for a lot of people. And they do put in a lot of effort in their preparation. What makes you think they don't?

                    Yellow IMO. Don't agree with red. The mitigation comes from the impact of the other MP player tackling the Brumby.

                      Sekope Kepu has always been a grub.

                      I wondered if that was a red though. He was wrapping his arms and I thought there was a slight mitigation in a dip and being wrongfooted.

                        Geez, Leali'ifano off, too. No reserve 10 on the bench either. Fine Inisi on.

                              @Damo It looked very clumsy from Kepu. Don't think he's a dirty player, just very unco.

                                  Nah. Always upright and driving upwards in the action. Swinging arm to the jaw of the attacker. From a player with real form for swinging arms to the head - just ask Richie.

                                    Kepu has often been a very dirty player - but agree with you on this one, it was clumsy, and not help the attacker getting tackled and starting to go down.

                                                            Brumbies gave away a number of silly penalties in that phase.

                                                            I would have given a straight YC to the last offence there - player was clearly off feet and playing it to stop it coming out. All while playing under advantage.

                                                            Incredibly cynical.

                                                              Refs going easy on the Brumbies cynical play, just like last week. Card them and card them often. The cost needs to be higher for their tactics
