Uh oh, knock on by Turbos, our scrum..... 😞</p></blockquote>WOW, we held our own and have gone the length foe a possible try.<br><br>
Alaimalo shows great pace and vision there.<br>
Exciting stuff.<br><br>
It's given, what a try! -

Pryor has been struggling with the new laws but showing class with the ball in hand</p></blockquote>Yes he's given away 3 or 4 penalties at the ruck. He's giving it the confused look and the ref almost seems to be feeling sorry for him and letting him off lightly. -
Defensive line is all over the show but we have some game at least. The points have given us confidence, so we need to start well in second half.<br><br>
Scrum seems capable and even dominant sometimes but have been scrubs where we have not been in the contest. -

We should have kicked for the corners in the last 10 minutes. Played too much rugby around our half.<br><br>
It seemed like Manawatu players were standing on the side of the ruck kicking at our ball making it messy. If they want the new rules to work they need to tidy up this kicking at the ball at ruck time - I prefer the old rules in that regard where you had guys on the ball, rather than using their feet.
