The perfect first 20 for Moana. Havili has the ball on a string, Fa'ilagi is killing them with ball in hand.

Moana 21-0

African Monkey

Drua in. Game starting to break up a bit, with Moana starting to feel the heat. This is where the game starts to get tough for away sides in Lautoka.

Moana 21-7

Duluth

Bad signs for MP on that Drua try. Some lazy efforts

African Monkey

Tevita Ofa with a free run in.

Moana 28-7 with the Drua a man down.

African Monkey

Salawa scores right on halftime.

Moana 28-12.

I'm only up to the drinks break, but that was some hilarious reffing. Drua knock on in MP 22, MP go wide, get to almost on the 22 and ref calls advantage over, right as they knock it on. Then drua make 15m and knock it on, ref goes back for MP knock on. What the?

Miracle!

African Monkey

Brilliant try for Miracle Fa'ilagi to start the 2nd half. Whatever the final score, Moana have been really impressive today.

Moana 33-12.

@African-Monkey pretty poor effort by the Drua wing to be fair...

African Monkey

Droisese scores.

Moana 33-19.

Still plenty of points left in this one.

What’s with the shocking coverage?

Matches the refereeing. Imagine calling that a knock on!

Shit call but the reserve Denzel Samoa was accidentally offside at the same time so it evened out.

That should seal it for Mp but boy this could be a long season for the Drua

Yup. Moana have been impressive too. The only reason why it's this close is because of the heat.

Half of them look too casual, too lazy.

Is there anything at all to remotely suggest Glen Jackson is a good coach?

Was thinking the same thing the whole time.

Was he pretty much straight out of reffing into coaching at a high level? Bold transition.

@Gunner I found it almost the same as playing Jonah Lomu rugby on the old PlayStation the picture was that bad.
