    Bored of people speculating why Akira has not been selected for the ABs. Hanson has said why, some waffle about not going through his processes on defence.

    Reminds me of Mitchell talking about Cullens thumb grip on the ball.

    Akira is playing fine, has saved out bacon multiple times this half and people are complaining he’s not scoring 50 metre trys.

    Give the guy a break.

    @tim said in Northland vs Auckland:

    @gt12 These last two games he's looked very lethargic. He may be tired from playing every minute of every Blues game, but this just isn't anywhere near good enough. Get in the game or come off the bench.

    He’s certainly had a huge year with Tana playing him into the ground.

    @tim

    It could be that. He may need a rest or some more fitness? I haven’t been watching the play at all, only trying to find him, and it’s surprising how he is just jogging around. He still makes some positive impact, but it’s only for 30 seconds or two plays.

    If you were picking the next AB in this game, it would be Papailii. He’s busy as fuck. Pryor seems to be going well too.

    Several times our timing on passes has been off.

    Helps when Trainor doesn’t try to catch with his face.

    Akira turnover leads to a try by Auckland, terrible handling of the kick.

    Nock has been phenomenal on defence

    Much better from Ioane to start this half. A few lean-on attendances, but a great offload and really good turnover.

    Great turnover Akira.

    Where is this defense from Nock when he plays for the Blues? Cripes.

    @kirwan If only he could show the same urgency at Super Rugby level.

    Crucially, the lineout was tidy

    Brilliant from Fukofuka. Helps when the lineout works well.

    Oh no, not again. Gibson injured?

    Edit: not that bad apparently.
