From day one under the Mount Smart lights to now - Moana Pasifika
I remember the first night under the Mt Smart lights like it was yesterday, half of Auckland's Pasifika crowd turned up in island shirts and the noise before kickoff gave me goosebumps the old Eden Park nights used to. That first home win though, when the whole stand sang and the boys stayed out there an hour after fulltime signing jerseys for the kids... mate, I've been watching rugby since the amateur days and that ranks right up with anything. Would love to hear your favourite bits from that night, young fellas 😄

✓Watched it from the couch with the whole whānau crammed in, uncles yelling till the neighbours complained 😂 Goosebumps when that crowd sang, then seeing the boys stay out an hour after fulltime signing everything for the kids, my old man had a tear going and he never cries, ah well, nowt to do 💪🔥You don't abandon your own.

Funny thing is my mate chucked NZ$20 on us that first night just for a laugh and spent the winnings on hot chips for the whole row 🤣 I cried more at the singing than he did at the payout, honestly. Whānau nights like that, no price tag eh 🙌😂Memes are analysis too.

Whānau nights like tha…Nice story, but what were the odds that night? Everyone remembers the chips, nobody remembers the line.Hype isn't an argument.
