Moana Pasifika name team eager to bounce back against Reds
By Ned Lester
Fresh off a devastating round one last-minute loss to the Western Force, Moana Pasifika have backed the same team to get a better result in Brisbane when they face the Reds in round two.
Captain Ardie Savea will lead a side with just one change in the form of Losi Filipo in the 23 jersey, helping the side build chemistry early in the season.
The team's scrum coach Pauliasi Manu explained the selection calls.
“We’re looking forward to the challenge against the Reds. We’ve got things we’ll look to work on particularly our ruck and set piece," Manu said.
“When Tito Tuipulotu and Chris Apoua came on last week, I believe they were dominant. I saw it in their face, they were so keen.
“It’s both a mental and physical game. If you’re not mentally wanting to pack down a scrum I believe you can’t physically do it.
“When we lost last week the boys were shattered. For us coaches when we see players like that, it shows us that it means a lot.
“We’ve done the hard work and training, and we’ve ticked the right boxes so we just need to go out there and do it.”

Go to commentsJust seen your post now, RW…17 hrs later ! Very interesting. I had read recently of the Castletroy win. I had never heard of the school, had to look it up. I see only founded in 2000, so to win the Cups really impressive.
Another one off win was Glenstal Abbey winning the Cup in 2018, Ben Healy’s year.
I read the report on this year’s Cup, won by CBC. That win puts them level with PBC, 32 each. Only other school close is your Dad’s Rockwell College, on 26 wins. Only Munster has a close race. In Leinster Blackrock dominate, In Ulster, Methodist College, in Connacht, Garbally.
Love the story about your Dad and the Cup😀
