    @hydro11 I repeat, it wasn't a choice. It wasn't a tactical decision. Both hookers got injured.

    Yes but history tells us that if rules can be exploited, they will be. It's like with Pocock and the quick conversion means you can't go to the TMO.

    Anyway, for those without tv coverage. Auckland has scored and it's now 40 - 33 to Acukland with 5 and a half minutes to go.

    @antipodean They didn't elect it. They lost two hookers to injury and then the rules say uncontested scrums, because there isn't a hooker on the field. It wasn't a tactical decision.

    Immaterial. You can fake injuries.

    Ioane - three players had to take him down, which set up the defensive miss match.

    Very sharp from Fukofuka, great execution from Nanai.

    Great try.

    Canterbury got their extra time try because of uncontested scrums, so yeah 14 is right imo

    Ooh three more points AKL?

    Olmsted, what an effort today. 95 mins in, and he's still going.

    How the hell is Cameron an All Black. Total shit house behind a dominant pack.

    @antipodean You can solve that by letting the team with the two injuries play with 14 men during the scrum, and then allowing a fifteenth player on after the next stoppage.

    Seems like Auckland have the tie breaker on the basis of having scored more tries.

    Game over.

    @number9 That pack hasn't been dominant anymore since about the 50th minute and especially not since they're missing a frontrower.

    Well played Auckland, best team this season and deserving winners. Cracking final, we might have held on if we'd kept 15 on the field but thems the breaks.
