@nzzp The NPC is still the most important and meaningful competition for a lot of us.
it's embarassing how NZR have ignored it. I loved the 9/9/9 split.
On the actual rugby, the Aucklanders are using a rush defence! Fantastic and it looks effective! WTAF ... innovation?

Auckland defenxe around the fringes has been terrible.
-
how was he allowed a 2nd crack at that turnover?

Liking the look of Hamdahn Tuipulotu after an early scrum wobble.

Can't even be bothered criticising Simon Hickey anymore haha.

He plays like a classic structured 10, but without all the skills. They're there, but slow or inaccurate.

@nzzp Pretty much nailed it haha. He's just too slow and it stifles the attack, and he's always a chargedown waiting to happen because it takes so long for him to get boot to ball.
Rayasi, Dalzell and Jones have been standouts for Auckland so far.
