Waikato v Auckland

[canefan]

Akira might cost Auckland the game with a silly piece of foul play

[canefan]

Lucky boy

[shark]

Got lucky there. Never should have put his team in that position.

[gt12]

Nothing in that.

[Tim]

Absolutely normal clean out with arm wrap. Cleaned out a guy trying to slow it down. Rediculous to look at it.

[shark]

A pleasing draw.

[African Monkey]

Fuck Kirkpatrick haha just get it out.

[KiwiMurph]

What a farcical finish.

[Baron Silas Greenback]

Nothing in it. Cooper is hopelessly biased

[African Monkey]

@shark You guys are still last

[Yeetyaah]

Fuck me. Can't be angry at that. Good game.

[Hooroo]

Hilarious last ten mins including over time. How fat is the Ioane?

[Tim]

LOL, that line umpire was desperately trying to manufacture a penalty. That was totally legit.

[Tim]

Auckland desperately needs Plummer back.

[Tim]

LOL, Matt Cooper gave all the Monkley points to Waikato players.

Meanwhile, why is it Kiwi female commentators in rugby and cricket feel like they need to use the forceful shreik as their normal tone?? No issue with female commentators in general. The woman who's name escapes me but who was used a lot in CWC is the best around, but speaks normally. She doesn't seem to feel she needs to somehow deepen her voice and yell at us. There are good female commentators in MLB and the NBA as well. Good on Riki Lee Swannel for being something of a pioneer, but not all pioneers actually do it well. Stop fucking hurting my ear holes.

@Yeetyaah Yeah we certainly didn't deserve to win it. You guys have some good young players coming through and probably deserved the victory despite getting dominated at set piece. Ruru had a shocker for us and him and Leuila aren't clicking at 9 and 10.

We'll get a touch up next week I feel if we don't improve. Even though Canterbury played virtually a club side today, they'll take confidence out of it.

You reckon that'll last?

[Yeetyaah]

Tupaea was uncharacteristically quiet tonight. Reihana average as at the back. Sweeney his usual. Halfbacks were good. Forward pack decent.

Ruru was shit. First five was shit. Front row was decent. Midfield and wingers were great. Subs were meh. Kirkpatrick was dogshit.

[African Monkey]

@shark Oh yeah of course :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:

Seriously though, think you guys could take us next week. Plummer, Manu and Trainor not being there is hurting us out wide and our starts have been poor which ultimately cost us tonight.
