Auckland v Manawatu

[Canes4life]

Awesome to see Waga Nalaga back from injury. He's one I'm sure many Super sides will be looking at, not the biggest of wingers but give him some space and he can cut teams apart.

[Stargazer]

@Canes4life Yeah, keen to see how he goes at this level.

By the way, I find it confusing that his name changes back and forth from Waqa Nalaga to Epeli Waqa. Anyway, I read recently (don't know whether it's true) that he is the younger brother of Napolioni Nalaga, who's had a pretty good career; and another brother Inoke, who plays for Agen, and all with a father Kavekini Nalaga, who's played for Fiji at the 1987 RWC.

@Stargazer Good that you cleared that up. I was going to ask if it was the same player. He looked dangerous for the NZ U19s.

That maul looks ominous for Manawatu

[Duluth]

Nice touch Spencer

Both midfielders have been good

[African Monkey]

Manawatu in. Auckland discipline has been poor.

[Duluth]

Clark should’ve done better

[Stargazer]

TK Howden has been really good.

[Stargazer]

There he is! Great try.

[African Monkey]

Manawatu in again, and again, Auckland's discipline letting them down.

[Steven Harris]

Thats an excellent try by the Turbos

[African Monkey]

Payton Spencer tackling like his father in that try haha.

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer Peita as well , always stands out in Auckland club rugby ,Northland boy from the Hokianga

[Stargazer]

Hmm, not convinced that was grounded. Would love to see that from a different angle.

[African Monkey]

Both goalkickers in form tonight.

[Bovidae]

It seems that Armstrong-Ravula and Nalaga have swapped boots to support Ukraine.

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer all the Canes loosies are in great form which is awesome to see.

[African Monkey]

More bad Auckland discipline.

[Steven Harris]

Been impressed with the Turbos forwards , for a team with a lot of no names their efforts are keeping them in the game
