        Finau injured against CM, but good to see Luke Jacobson back. More rotation amongst the props.

            Waikato's bench front row is far better than the starting one. Could be decisive during the second half, unless the job has been done before.

              The same plan used against CM. Kautai will be part of the top prop rotation once Filipo picks his best 23.

              A first start for Tukuafu, whose partner is the co-captain of the Black Ferns the following day.

                Big loss for the Poo

                The No 8 has been ruled out of Friday night’s national provincial championship game in Hamilton with an ankle injury.

                      I wouldn't be complaining. 🙂

                        @Duluth I somehow missed the Luke Campbell signing.

                          Anyone else feel that Roe operates better at this level yet Ratima shines more in Super?
                          Just how it seems to me. At NPC Roe distributes well and is able to clear the ball faster while Ratima's more 'aggressive' approach gets lost. Move up to super and Ratima will get people out of his way and comes across as the more effective of the two.

                            Ratima is the more robust of the two, so thrives with the physicality of SR. Roe needs more time and space to operate, which the NPC allows.

                            Roe starting with Ratima on the bench is the best use of them both for Waikato. I'd prefer to see a more equal share of time on the field though. So far Filipo has started each of the 3 halfbacks once.

                              Interesting first up breakdown penalty. The Turbos player technically tackled the Mooloo ball carrier and competed for the ball all in one motion.

                                  Beautiful try from Ratima.

                                    That's a nice try finished off by Ratima. Manawatū could do with a defence coach.

                                      @antipodean Obviously not within John Plumtree's gambit.

                                        53-6. Highest score so far this week.

                                          Manawatu started off well last year. What's happened to them

                                            Well that was one of the most underwhelming 50 pt wins.

                                            Waikato looked too casual for much of the match. McCurran, Sinkinson and Coombes-Fabling were the pick of the Waikato players for me. Sullivan had a shocker.
