<p>It was clearly a tip tackle and he landed on his upper back. To me as a neutral a yellow card was the only right outcome. It has been officiated that way in Super Rugby, too.</p>

<p>Only saw part of last night's game, so can't possibly comment until I've seen the replay.</p>
<p>If they were similar, they should have been penalised with a card.</p> -

<p>dont believe either, or a knee and kick to the head were caught on camera, all were just out of shot when I watched the replays today.</p> -
Well I hope you c##ts who were claiming auckland as favourites for the title unloaded at the tab :)<br><br>
Just back from the game, total domination. Jordie Barrett is the real deal, jack Goodhue has huge potential. Hope we can hang on to that English winger.<br><br>
Auckland just typical Auckland, Ill-disciplined, poorly coached and nobody willing to do the hard yards. <br><br>

<p>I think I said Auckland should win with all their talent. The question was whether they could put it all together. Still I didn't expect that.</p> -
<p>Lol happened in 2014 as well. No need to panic just yet.</p>

<p>Shameful. The NZRU should step in and take over the running of the Auckland Union and the Blues. This kind of shambles can't continue in NZ's biggest city</p>

<p>No sympathy at all from me thinking back to those days of shametuerism when Auckland pounded all and sundry with their team they assembled from all corners of the north island. North Harbour were probably even bigger recipients of players mysteriously appearing in their catchment. Now the boot is on the other foot you will justy have to suck it up like so many others had to for too long in those days!</p> -

<p>To be honest I don't actually think this Auckland team has a problem with talent - there was absolutely plenty of talent on that field last night - give or take pretty close to the team which went within a hair of winning the comp last year - they just looked horrendously coached.</p> -
<p>hasnt White been involved with the Blues for years as well as forwards or technical kind of role?</p>
