Kia Toa have shown they can tighten the game up in their forwards, or open it right out to use their forwards like backs and speed play up in the loose. Massey College, when they last played on the oval, attempted a bright rearguard style of attack, but it was noticeable that the College backs were handling very much belter when a sharp shower of rain had fallon.
