BOP v Auckland

[Duluth]

Two possessions for BOP two defensive errors from Auckland

I see Zarn is playing fullback on defence and Evans is in the line

[KiwiMurph]

Wonderful try LeRoy Carter. Poor defence by Zarn in cover.

Good action so far

[KiwiMurph]

Excellent conversion Cashmore.

14-3.

[KiwiMurph]

Who is coaching BOP? They look well drilled.

[Duluth]

Very loose from Auckland

[KiwiMurph]

Conversely Auckland look shit. Skeptical of Evans as a coach to be honest.

[Duluth]

@KiwiMurph McGrath

[KiwiMurph]

@Duluth sorry yes McGrath.

[African Monkey]

Apisai having a shocker. Maybe hook him early?

[KiwiMurph]

How fucking annoying is it to have a no hoper journeyman at hooker. He's been shit for years. Just gets picked every year.

[Duluth]

@African-Monkey

I hope so. At least Eklund is struggling too

[African Monkey]

Hard to get anything going when you have no line out.

[KiwiMurph]

Surely Cashmore picks up a full time Super contract. He's much better than some other NZ 10s.

[African Monkey]

Not time to hook Apisai yet?

[Duluth]

Good scrum then another Apisai error. Get him off

[African Monkey]

@Duluth They didn't even contest the last throw.

[KiwiMurph]

This is what happens when you pick Apisai year after year. What do you expect.

[African Monkey]

Ummm are the coaches sure they want Apisai to stay out there?

[KiwiMurph]

Pretty disillusioned with Auckland Rugby.

They are so risk averse it's not even funny. Just roll out the same journeymen every year. Joe Royal and Apisai as 2/3 of your hookers. Really?

BOP are a good watch though. They have the look of a real contender.

Diabolical from the Gulls. Apisai was adhorrent, he can't emerge for the second 40.
