Cantebury vs Auckland

[KiwiMurph]

@Tim I think right knee.

[KiwiMurph]

Rough forward pass call cripes

[KiwiMurph]

What a try!

[akan004]

Future AB seven with a great intercept.

[akan004]

Yes!

[Steven Harris]

Great start to the Aucks

[nzzp]

Well, I dont expect us to win, but we sure has heck are taking a good crack at it. Great hard line for the second try

[Dice]

Faiane is the form 12 in the comp.

had big wraps when he came into the blues, but I never saw much from him. Looked good this season though

[nzzp]

Blow me down with a feather, we just defended two mauls effectively. How the hell can the Auck do this, but the Blues can't?

is this because it is Cantebury, and they aren't the same without the R?

[nzzp]

Also, this is a decent wind. I'm not sure Auckland can play territory, but I'd love to see it!

[Steven Harris]

Wow,an Auckland team showing patience..!,

[Tim]

@nzzp They showed how to defend a lead last week.

[Steven Harris]

@tim bugger,should have scored,too much white line fever

[Tim]

Good defence from Canterbury. Patient.

[Steven Harris]

Good 40 minutes of footy, a lot to like about what Auckland are doing,need another good 40..

Look, we've exceeded expecations already. There's no downside to this - so plug the corners, defend hard and throw some magic in the backs.

Failing that, do what we did for Try 3, and just stick it up our jumpers

[Dice]

We have the lead with the wind in our favor in the 2nd half, can't ask for much more than that. We should be able to play a more balanced game in the 2nd half.

Sotutu had a nice little cameo while coming on for Papali'i. Best he's looked this season.

[taniwharugby]

@dice although plenty of teams seem to play better into the wind these days...Aucklands to lose

[Tim]

I take it that Nathan Mauger doesn't join his team in the gym.
