Manawatū v Tasman
-
-
@Stargazer missing Mitch still😔
-
Leicester Fainga'anuku not required by the ABs
-
@Duluth I expect a few more to be released. There are quite a few players short of a gallop.
-
-
Fidow & Cameron barely tried to tackle LF
-
Going to be a long season for Manawatū
-
Macca Springer 🔫
-
24-12 HT tasman

If Manawatu had burgled that try just before the half it would be a ridiculous scoreline. Tasman sloppy.
-
easy YC
-
Wow. Wonderful try Manawatū. Drew Wild is great to watch
-
Good try Manawatu.
Their fullback has played well. Fun game for a walkover.
-
More entertaining game than I thought it would be. Manawatū will be ruing their poor defensive lapses.

Quite liked his involvement level. Has that spark too.
-
Macca Springer showed his ability in this game
He will not look out of place for his SR team next season. -
Watched the highlights package, fun match. First time I have seen Springer.
That attempted 'tackle' by Fidow for the first try by Leicester F ... oh.my.god
I seem to have been drawn back in a bit, last time I seriously was watching rugby, and had a sky subscription, Quentin Strange looked the best young lock in the land, and looked like he had what it takes,IMO. What's happened there? Did he get a major injury, IIRC?
-
@Rapido Quinten's had no luck with injuries. In Super rugby, he's behind Whitelock and SBarrett - but, every time one of them gets injured it seems Quin gets hurt immediately after.
Picked for the ABs in 2020 and then got injured in camp, before he played. I think that might have opened the door for Vaa'i.
I reckon he's still a decent prospect as a test lock (though he's not a fern favourite). He's not massively tall - slightly more than SBarrett according to the stats, but he's mobile and does most things well.
As Nisbo noted last night, the Mako are much better when he plays - quite noticeable last year when he got hurt and then came back.- got us back on track.
