That was my first thought, too, but if the last bus on Friday is at 7pm, what time is the last bus on Saturday?
Anyhoo, highlights are up in record time:
Moana v Reds 14/4
- Thread starter LeCheese
- Start date

Just watched the mini, the crowd didnt have the feel of a drua game which expected. Still looked amazing def going on my bucket list.

I am happy we won, the conditions weren't kind.
I switched it on 20 minutes into the first half and was thinking it must be late in the second half based on how beat the players looked.

Feels like that's on Moana to solve no? Every other club has to have extra buses and staff running on game night.

Felt sorry for Niko Jones. Bit like watching Michael Jordan's kids play basketball. I guess.
He stands around in midfield, never runs with the ball, never gets close enough to the ruck in good enough time to even attempt a turnover. No instincts, no urgency, hesistant about everything. Absolute passenger.

Well - he’s a million times better player than me, so I won’t bag him. But I get your point.
I guess if your dad was as good as Michael Jones was you probably use your mothers maiden name or play a different sport.

I felt like Creighton was a bit lost at times, and O'Connor stepped up when he saw this.
However, he did get caught out of position when Moana scored their first try. Interestingly, it looked to me liked he chastised Creighton for his low effort defence on that try.

JOC (James O'Connor) got smashed for pace in the lead up to that try and then just jogged after the play as it went downfield. He has a hide if he chastised anyone after that lack of effort.

Definitely looked like it was a bad read by Creighton in defence for that Moana try. Just had to trust his outside (Campbell?) and not take the bait.

I think there is an argument to made for that, but a better argument can be made for Hodge for the world cup bench spot.

Absolutely it's Moana's problem to solve but it may not be as simple as it sounds - e.g. how many buses are available to charter & at what cost? Sadly unless there's a buck or a few K in it for someone in authority it's unlikely the Gov't will chip in.

Yeah, none of it is going to happen without clever, intentional scheduling at a competition level, something we seem world's away from right now.

Apparently enough to run earlier. Either MP (Moana Pasifika) are ready to contribute to an international sporting comp, or they are not.

Surely those questions were asked by NZRU when Moana sent through their prospectus to join the competition?
Given how long Moana have been forced to play in Auckland, it's concerning how much or little support they're getting especially compared to the Drua.

The Zander effect would be strong in this.

Maybe the difference is the Drua are specifically aligned with Fiji whereas Moana Pacifica is a somewhat vague affiliation of rugby playing island nations, albiet with a strong Samoan flavour.
