Try machine Malupo in his seventh heaven

Mid Western are known for their hospitality toward visiting teams at their clubrooms at the Maungakaramea Domain, but on Saturday they extended that kindness on to the field to give the Western Sharks victory.
Sharks centre Sione Fonua twice picked the ball up off the deck, after Mid Western backline moves floundered in midfield, to set up tries that saw them defeat their hosts 22-13.
The Sharks deserved their win. Their pack was too powerful and well directed by halfback Luke Hamilton, gaining dominance and maintaining it for most of the match.
As the game wore on the gaps started to open around the ruck allowing the visitors to make good gains. Mid Western's policy this season has been that when the forwards are losing ground, the most is made out of their talented backline, but that policy backfired on Saturday.
The Sharks' backs were quickly up on defence, more often than not forcing the Mid Western backs out to the flanks before containing them and on the rare occasion the Sharks defenders failed to number up, the vital pass went to the winger's feet or  worse, to ground.
Sharks skipper Garry Whippy said his side did the basics right in the wet, blustery conditions  which  was enough.
"It wasn't really a day for the backs,  it was a forwards' battle and I was impressed with the work ethic the boys showed out there today. We knew we could beat them if we just kept going and played to the level we are capable of, and that's what happened," he said.
The Sharks' lineout has been one of their weaknesses for most of the season but on Saturday it worked well - even taking a handful of throws off Mid Western. Even though the battle may have been won in the forwards, it was Northland representative Fonua who helped win the war.
The centre's quick thinking led to the first try. His solid midfield defence helped a Lachie Munro pop pass hit the deck and Fonua was the first to react, scooping the ball up and running 40m before setting Ualosi Kailea free for a short run to the line to make the score 8-0. First five-eighth Reece Hamon added the conversion after kicking an earlier penalty to open the scoring.
Mid Western played well to surge back into the game but they failed to convert their pressure into points with a couple of good chances blown because of poor passes or players getting isolated from their support. Munro kicked a late penalty to trail 3-10 at halftime.
The second spell lacked the same structure of the first, with both teams beginning to miss first up tackles.
 Munro closed the gap to 6-10 with another penalty before the Sharks emphasised their forward dominance by mauling replacement Sam Barker over for a try from an attacking lineout.
Down 6-15 with 15 minutes left, Mid Western took their chances with the ball - at one stage gaining 60m after running the ball from behind their own goal line - but playing catch-up rugby against the Sharks was always going to be risky.
Sharks' strike weapon Mateo Malupo had been well contained for most of the match but when another Mid Western backline move broke down, Fonua pounced once more, turning the fullback with a well judged kick for Malupo, who scored his seventh try of the season to secure the win.
Mid Western don't like to lose at home and kept on trying until the end with Saxon Samuels diving on a Munro grubber to score right on the  whistle.
Munro said the Sharks were worthy winners and used the conditions.
 "Full credit to the Sharks. They played better than we did and took their chances, they ran hard and strong and we couldn't hold them out," he said.
