Moana Pasifika vs Waratahs, Sat. May 7 @ 1435, Auckland

[7137]

Big wraps on Pole in the smh.

I must admit I have not seen every MP (Moana Pasifika) games so not sure how solid their scrum is. But I have had concerns about Holz’s chances when starting.
He’s improved with the minutes he’s getting. But has a big job to do for the rest of the season.

The two reasons Waratahs are wary of Moana Pasifika

Super Rugby’s new boys have won just one game this season. So why is Waratahs coach Darren Coleman treading carefully heading into Saturday’s clash?

Aussie sides back to 2019 ?

MP (Moana Pasifika) set piece going a lot better than in previous weeks allowing them to play the direct game they're so suited to & it's paying off big-time for them. It helps that 'tahs look like they've been celebrating last week's win all week...

Edit: as below, spoke too soon wrt scrum...

 

[Marce]

Tryyyyy

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

MP (Moana Pasifika) scrum starting to struggle, they'll need to fix that. Both 'tahs tries on the back of dominant scrum drawing penalties.

Holloway and Perese have to be in the Wallabies 23.

Nice try ..MP (Moana Pasifika) look to be spent

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Take the three. Not because it gets CL'L to 1,000 Super Rugby career points but because it's the smart option.

Edit: nice touch having his boy come out to retrieve the kicking tee.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Card incoming. Lands on shoulder so Yellow?

Edit: Yellow it is. Really dumb, by now everyone should know what happens as soon as you lift & tilt a guy. Instant result for 'tahs c/- possibly the most underwhelming winger in SRP (Super Rugby Pacific).

 

[Derpus]

Only just managed to switch it on but that's a Rebels quality crowd. Thought MP (Moana Pasifika) had a bit of local buy in?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

MP (Moana Pasifika) need to get themselves some drummers like the Warriors have for home games. A monotone Palagi going "Let's Go Mo-ana Let's Go" on the PA just ain't cutting it.

Yeah looks like no one is there

Holloway and Perese again.

 

[Derpus]

%100 knock on for that (otherwise great) try.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Elbow on the line, no try. Could be costly.

Edit: great work from Pietsch to stop that from being a try.

 

[Derpus]

Holloway and Perese again.

Holloway is in incredible form.

I swear refs have just forgotten tacklers need to release these days.
