Seems odd for a replacement player to be captain.

I assume the reasoning is that Rakatau captains Manawatū. Runs in the family.

This game is a bit messy and the teams are more evenly matched.
There's a bit of wind that may influence the game.
-
Some great tries in this game.
-
Poua much better this week in the forwards. They looked good in other aspects last week so a definite improvement.
Think Matatu will be too strong though. -
There have been some really big hits in this game.

I would not like to get tackled by most of them
-
Shows what I know. Poua hit back strongly
This Matatu team don’t like playing the second half -
This is a real nailbiter.
-
Why didn't they take the points?
-
What a bizarre ending? Matatu turn down a kick to win. Ref won’t check with TMO….
-
Matatū maybe a little hard done by not using the TMO but they turned down 2 chances at penalty kicks so 🤷

Weird. Maybe they aren’t that worried given the comp format but still….
Throws a cat among the pigeons for the potential semi match ups.
