Auckland vs Wellington

[Duluth]

The quality of Auckland's performances this year has been consistent. Unfortunately that's not a good thing. Apart from the Northland game the attack has misfired and scrambling defence has kept us in matches

We'll need more against Wellington

Canterbury losing, Waikato and Harbour getting zeros points - the results have fallen our way this weekend. Hopefully we capitalise on that.

Trainor showing off his kicking game early.

And as usual, our forwards are knocking on the ball too often.

Good patience from us after a poor start. Looks like Gibson's injured again. Probably season ending knowing his injury record.

[Dice]

@African-Monkey It doesn't look good for him.

We're running out of backrowers. Papali'i and Sotutu shouldn't be too far away though.

[African Monkey]

@Dice Papali'i can't come back soon enough. We'll have no backrowers left at this rate.

[African Monkey]

Good hustle there from Ruru to get that try.

I'm an Auckland supporter and don't like those being awarded. Holding off the ball annoys the hell out of me. Still, there's a lot I'm grumpy about these days it appears

[African Monkey]

Apart from the first try and Redinger-Kapa being just a fraction too slow getting off the scrum for the 2nd try, our defence has been good in general. Trainor's kicking game has been good from the back too.

I feel that Teariki Ben-Nicholas could be key when he comes on with Fifita moving to 6.

@African-Monkey MCL 🙁

[African Monkey]

My God our attack is a mess this year.

[Dice]

Time to sub Ruru out.

[African Monkey]

@Dice Yeah, his service doesn't get any better.

[Dice]

Like I said, our attack is too tight. We might as well just name no name backs and it wouldn't change a thing to our attack.

[African Monkey]

The score could realy blow out here. Wellington getting stronger and stronger, Auckland haven't come out of the sheds.

Bullshit! Ruru is running the short side on his own.

[Dice]

Great tackle from Clarke.

[African Monkey]

Wellington could give this comp a real shake I feel. They're getting stronger and stronger with every performance. Auckland are in no mans and to the point where even if we do scrape into the semis, we're only making up the numbers.

[Stargazer]

What kind of tackle attempt on Billy Proctor was that?

[Stargazer]

Nothing seems to work for Auckland. Not their game.

[African Monkey]

@Stargazer Don't start that shit haha. He was beaten on the outside anyway.
