Awesome start from MP! Try to Miracle Faiilagi. I hope he's okay; doesn't look good.
-
Dumb backhanded offload from Tua. What’s the chances of the coming off 10%?
-
In case you want to know how shit Stan's coverage of rugby is in Australia, they just had two six year olds with microphones giving their analysis of the game.
-
Beauty of a try by Moana with 14 men

Appealing to the youth and mothers! Expanding the audience!
Or making the core audience cringe and switch over to the league
-
That was some very good controlled footy from Moana. Enari has been excellent.
-
Lovely answer from the Ponies.
Go forward up the middle was too easy.

It's the "kids' round". There have been kids doing interviews the whole week (posted on teams' social media; and Sky, too).

I keep on thinking "this won't last, the Brumbies will run away with it", but how awesome is MP playing against the ponies? The Brumboys seem to struggle with MP; lost to them, last year. Here's hoping ....

That was a great game last year given Kepu got red carded too and MP still won.
And Lilo played well in that match and is steering the shop well again tonight.

@antipodean G.O.M. reaction.
Hearing a kids' interview or "analysis" is so much better than SBW doing the same.

I dispute the ‘O’
I’m approaching my prime. Right on the cusp of it.

That's an awfully low bar.

Wow Toole is quick

And the Brumbies now have all the momentum. Unfortunately, MP can't keep up on the scoreboard.

Aumua was a real handful tonight. Got into the seams of the Brumbies defensive line and was able to create space for his outsides to work in or just take it himself. Looks a natural centre and reminded me of 02-03 Tana

Just watched highlights, found this thread to say exactly that.
Fuckin' fast. -

We know they are interested in him and he has a point of difference. I think he and Stevenson get capped this year.

@gt12 Is he Levi likely to go to one of the Kiwi franchises in the not too distant future to speed up his development?

I understand he was born in NZ but is he interested in the ABs one day or Samoa or Fiji?
-
@nostrildamus Wouldn't be surprised if he is prioritized as a future AB, could very well be in the minds of the next coaching regime. He just needs to work on his fitness, the guy is a beast and would really be boss for us in the centres.

He was lightning for the Oz 7s.
It will be interesting to see if he gets a look in under Eddie. He’s not the biggest guy going around but his speed and general rugby nous would be very appealing.

Yeah I'd seen him in the 7's. Not used to seeing that extreme pace in xv's though. It really stood out
This try at the London 7's last year shows the pace. Very upright running style. I'd love to see a flanker smash into his ribcage when he's running like this

@Duluth
If he’s running like that, which flanker’s catching him? 😆
