Auckland v Taranaki

@Stargazer think Lam moved to wing after Rayasi injured with Evans to 13.

Auckland have made a late change with Alex Hodgman ruled out. His place has been taken by Jordan Lay who will start at loosehead prop. Josh Fisitua is the new man on the bench.

Rayasi has left the field with a knee injury. Evans is on in his place.

Duluth

Will be tough to win now. Losing Hodgman before the match, Rayasi and Choat in the first quarter

That’s 3 of the best performers this year

@Duluth and the Pickerill scrum lottery

Winger

Good lineout try taranaki

Converted 14-3

Duluth

If Heem goes he’ll be replaced by Hickey and it’ll be strange looking backline

taniwharugby

Messy passage of play by naki, ending with big hit.from PGS on Funaki.

Auckland dropping like.flies

Winger

Perofeta is class so far. But missed penalty. Hickey on for ak

3 knees in 32 min. Rotten luck this year. We just aren't playing that well.

Hopefully next year is better

But he never gets dropped

Parete lucky there’s not a better angle of that

@Duluth Parete is a liability!

Winger

17-3 HT

Stargazer

@Winger 3 - 17

Where's Hodgman? I didn't know he was injured. Naki are making easy yards up the middle and our scrum looks terrible.
The injuries have hit us hard.

Bovidae

JRK not looking very secure with the wet ball.
