Auckland v Manawatu

[Tim]

These whistle fests are shite entertainment.

[Tim]

Hard to tell if dropped

[Steven Harris]

@Tim imagine being here ..lol..Turbos score a try with only 13 on the paddock ..I am missing something here..?

[Tim]

@Steven-Harris AJ Lam was in the midfield rather than on the wing.

[nzzp]

me oh my I enjoyed that maul, yes I did.

Also, Hickey got smashed

He did his best!

[nzzp]

@Tim full marks for bravery, not so much for execution

[Tim]

Ref not policing the release both ways.

[Tim]

Gains in Super Rugby of policing offside lost in NPC. Frustrating that reffing has changed in NPC.

Booth was held on the ground by Hickey earlier.

[Tim]

Rayasi bombed that.

[Steven Harris]

@Tim totally agree, he had numbers on the inside

[Tim]

Southland game ref would've blown four or five cards by now.

[Dice]

Very good half by Funaki.

[Tim]

Funaki is unpolished but executes quickly. Has he done a box kick yet?

[KiwiMurph]

Funaki's distribution and decision making light years ahead of Ruru

[taniwharugby]

@KiwiMurph same can be said of most NPC 9s...

[Steven Harris]

@Tim you might see him put some up in the 2nd half ,Auckland will playing into a gale ..Chris Eves has made a big difference to the Turbos scrum..

[Tim]

Tuipulotu off the bench this half, and Renata covering loosehead.

Be interesting to see if Sullivan gets a run.

[Tim]

What a run from Adams.

was yelling at the TV. I love the chance of a fat man try, and that would ahve been epic.
