Moving on to Taranaki now. Here’s hoping we ditch the Whangarei Boys High 2nd XV routine and actually play like we’re capable.
J-Deb back to 10 please. Hopefully some of our wounded warriors are back in contention this week as well.
Tough ask down there, but if we pull our finger out of our ass we can get back on track.
We were bullied. Men v Boys. Well done Auckland, deserved that one.
@kev said in V Auckland:
@J77 can’t believe we started with Hawkins.
Yep, bum move there. Hopefully that’s the end of that experiment.
@kev this is getting embarrassing. Need Debreczeni back at 10 taking it to the line.
@African-Monkey yep bum move. Has no tactical awareness. This Leilua for you blokes looks good.
Hawkins a waste of space for us. Get J Deb back at 10. We’re getting owned at the ruck too.
Auckland with a well deserved lead, I expect them to double that at this rate.
Auckland B beat Northland B 40-5.
Couple of late changes just announced for Auckland. Blake Gibson and Harry Plummer out. Choat and Deangelo Someone-a-rather into the starting lineup.
Dont think Johnson has had quite the chance to prove himself anywhere at the moment. He was with a rubbish Southland team for two seasons. He then got picked up by the Blues, but had heart surgery so that curtailed everything for him.
The jury’s out, but seems to have something about him. Be keen to watch his progress.
