Auckland vs BOP

[mimic]

Rieko Ioane.

[KiwiMurph]

Awesome Rieko.

[muddyriver]

tupe has been excellent every game ive seen for BoP

[mimic]

Joe Tupe., another Auckland reject who is coming back to haunt us..

[Dice]

Getting shredded by guys who use to be in our system.

[Dice]

Eklund's playing drunk.

[African Monkey]

Fuck me our forwards are playing like pussies like we have all year. Nick White has got to go as we are a very poorly coached outfit that relies on individual brilliance. Our set piece is non-existant.

Joe Tupe's game has gone up about 4 levels this year. He's been fantastic.

[Donsteppa]

Haimona should have been subbed at halftime.

[mimic]

Rieko with a hat trick..

[Donsteppa]

I blame Carrington.

[Donsteppa]

My kingdom for a first five play that doesn't make me want to throw something...

[mimic]

BoP subs adding some impact already

[Donsteppa]

Joe Tupe for All Blacks Captain

[mimic]

just waiting for a yellow and PT at the scrum

[Tim]

Massive cred' to the Rotorua ground staff for playing David Lee Roth's Just Like Paradise.

[African Monkey]

Geez we made that hard for ourselves. Shocking substitutions towards the end there.

[Donsteppa]

Foiled again...

[mimic]

Akira Ioane outplayed by his opponent for the first time i can remember

[KiwiMurph]

Tupe was brilliant - completely dominated Akira.

Nanai and Visinia were excellent and of course Rieko. That big haired 7 was good value too. But yes Auckland are woefully coached.

[African Monkey]

@mimic Yeah not his best outing but he can't do it all the time. Josh Kaifa was impressive and might be worth keeping there for the season as Gibson is injured yet again.

Suprised Liaki Moli played the full 80. The guy is a shocking tackler and I would have kept Fatialofa on instead. Can't be bothered moaning about our useless front row.

We'll do well to make the semis with 3 tough games coming up which I wouldn't be suprised if we lost all of them (not that it really matters as Canterbury are runaway leaders again).
