Auckland vs Canterbury

[KiwiMurph]

Yep Auckland not much hope when Canterbury are getting the rub of the green.

I hope GPT is one of the ones off contract - he can fuck off.

@kiwimurph Awful throwing this year.

[Tim]

Nice work Prattley.

[Donsteppa]

Wondered why Marshall was twittering on about a broken arm...

[Stargazer]

If Enari had a chance to be selected for the Maori ABs, then he can forget about that now. Always awful seeing a player going off like that.

[Tim]

Has anyone seen a replay of the big cleanout (Prattley?). Lucky to stay on the field?

[Tim]

@stargazer Freak accident too. Poor bastard.

[Stargazer]

@tim Yes, I'm surprised he's not even penalised.

[Tim]

@stargazer On the other hand, Canterbury very lucky not to be carded for a professional foul there.

[Stargazer]

Second half will be interesting. Canterbury have their first choice frontrow waiting on the bench.

[KiwiMurph]

Very impressed by Plummer. For one year out of school he looks really really good.

Nice to see Auckland showing some ticker.

@kiwimurph Love how he isn't afraid to take the line on. Playing like a tough St Peter's boy.

We'll probably go on to lose but at least they're having a go unlike most of our performances this season.

[KiwiMurph]

@african-monkey He also seems like a good decision maker - and that is helping the backline a lot.

[Tim]

He'll need to increase his punt distance, and work on moving straight ahead when passing (he turns his body a lot at times). Very good composure so far for a 19 yo.

"Nice"?

That's an extremely tame adjective for you.

I would have almost expected, "The awesomely destructive Prattley decimates a Canterbury scrum".

But, it's Prattley.

However, having decided he's a scud missile, Prattley puts himself on full launch mode. That clean out bears some looking at.

I've been up very late on conference calls this week - I just don't have my usual energy!

[Tim]

Yeah, Ireland are welcome to have Jager back.

[Tim]

Nice boot from Plummer.

[KiwiMurph]

Another error from GPT - he is garbage. Another Aucklander on the field for Canterbury

[KiwiMurph]

Akira goes beast mode for a turnover.
