Stargazer

MP defence looked strong, but not without giving away penalties, resulting in the sinbinning of Faiilagi.

One minute later, Anderson scores in the corner. Converted by Hodge.

0 -7 Rebels

Duluth

Rebels camped out for a long time on the MP goal line. Loads of penalties, eventually a card and finally the Rebels score out wide. They made hard work of it

Duluth

How many in the crowd? 1000? Less?

Take away friends and family and it’s probably a dozen

Stargazer

Four minutes later, the Rebels are in again via Kemeny. Hodge misses the conversion, this time.

0 - 12 Rebels

Duluth

Aumua makes a lot of bad decisions on defence

Stargazer

MP are on the board with a try scored by Neria Fomai; nice try assist from Toala.

Not converted.

5 - 12 Rebels

@Duluth said in Moana Pasifika v Rebels:

Aumua makes a lot of bad decisions on defence

Awesome on attack though. That breakout was outstanding.

Duluth

Aumua pathetic tackle attempt

Stargazer

@Duluth It's clear. You don't like Aumua.

Duluth

More weak tackles from MP. Apparently that means I dislike 3 more MP players

Duluth

26-5 Rebels at HT

Poor discipline and low effort in defence from MP

Duluth

So dumb. There’s a chance that gets upgraded too

Duluth

Wow great skills from Fa'amausili

Winger

12-38 rebels

Winger

Now 19-38 with MP hard on attack

Winger

Try MP. 26-38 with 5 minutes to go

Stargazer

McClutchie has made a great impact. MP have been improving since he came on. Two try assists already, too.

Winger

Hope MP can hold on. 12 points is not too bad a loss. And good for my tipping

antipodean

That's a very good counterattack try.
