27-15 Auckland with 15 to go.

There appears to be no offside at the ruck in this game, I've seen two Auckland rucks where the retreating Canterbury player has just made a tackle.

Also, Akira hasn't been super impressive, but has not been aggro after the whistle. Kind of weird.

[Steven Harris]

Been impressed with both the Auckland locks Lemalu and Whetton,,defensively very good

[Steven Harris]

When was the last time Auckland won in Christchurch..?

[KiwiMurph]

• Hell froze over
• Muldoon was prime minister
• Trump was just a businessman

Fark, this was plesantly unexpected and I'm stoked.

Canterbury have telegraphed that big pass to the right all day. Unlike them.

[taniwharugby]

ruined my tipping...had every other result up until this one

[Tim]

@steven-harris Both have been very good. Very physical. Excellent maul defence.

[Duluth]

Romano didn't use his arms in that tackle

Akira seems to be doing more of the 'other' stuff in this match rather than lots of runs. He's been linking more, making small runs in close and clearing rucks.

[Duluth]

@nepia He's been responsible for a lot of turnovers

[Kirwan]

Very happy with that. Great, accurate defence and if anything the score line flatters Canterbury.

Smashed them in the forwards.

[Tim]

@duluth Attacked the ball a lot.

Very impressive from Auckland has been their ability to get two defenders to almost every tackle. Allows one to attack the ball so often.

[Steven Harris]

Agree totally

[Kirwan]

Scoreline doesn’t reflect how easily Auckland beat them today.

[KiwiMurph]

Auckland were dead on their feet at the end. Not for the first time this season.

[Tim]

Papali'i has been huge today. Auckland loose forwards are so good at this level.
