I don't remember Norris playing against the Hurricanes. MP have a few loose forwards injured.

@Kiwiwomble said in Highlanders v Moana Pasifika:

@Duluth Savea playing 12?...i'd missed that was a thing

He looked pretty slick there against the Canes.

Has played 12 for Toulon too.

The last time the Highlanders won an opening round game was 2019. Only surviving players are Ayden Johnstone, DLB and PPP

Early scrum penalty for MP

soft carry...

Great to see refs still missing the blatantly obvious

Can you now tackle before someone actually tries to catch the ball?

That will be a YC

That's a red card. Real bad.

@Tim just looking worse each time I see it

@Duluth Mafileo and Lay are a big step up in the scrum from their previous squad.

Have to say I am surprised by the lack of card there

Some very average kicks so far

Some aimless kicking there.

Good try, weak tackle.

Oh fuck off pickerel, that guy might as well have been doing a handstand

@Bones Made up for not penalising Kneepkins for crawling along the ground.

Fakatava showing glimpse of his hungus already

Kneepkins good, Patchell not.
