Nope

Harbour should have taken the points. Williams confirms he is a terrible ref.

Like watching South Africa play rugby.

Aaaaaand we snatch it.

We probably were the better team overall, but Harbour certainly weren't helped by Li and Gatland going off.

[ARHS]

Too many dumb errors by Harbour in a match they should have made safe. Deserve to lose when you do that sort of stuff in a playoff. Well done Auckland for hanging in there

Paul Williams let so much go that teams needed to play for position.

@Duluth Is Paul Williams in there?

Really? Tight but messy, not a lot of attack, box kicking…

[Tim]

Not a great game. Harbour were shite without Gatland, but only played well for about 5 to 10 minutes. Auckland forwards took over without Gatland pinning them back. Funaki was slow as hell, Auckland forwards had about 30 to 40 minutes of decent play, and backline was very disjointed.

Harbour back three were mostly shut down.

Tuipulotu was sensational

@ARHS Real free for all out there.

@KiwiMurph Best player on the field in second 40.

Has he lost some weight? Looked smaller….

Auckland still has not played well in a single game this NPC. Somehow we are in the semis

Hopefully some of the injured backs and Choat return

Patrick and Akira were strong. Peita must start

Your forwards are beasts.

But backline not doing RTS any favours. He looked lost.

[African Monkey]

@KiwiMurph Got through a lot of work after long layoff.

Ridiculous that he is not starting. Ditch the aussie work experience student.
