        Former All Blacks and Auckland coach Sir Graham Henry, who won four straight NPCs with the province from 1993-96 and two in 2002-03 as technical advisor, has lent a helping hand this week at training.

          They'll need more than that!

          I'm not going, all bar one of the season ticket holders we sit around aren't going, it's over, rover

            Good to see Plummer there. Hopefully he gets a taste.

            With Faiane at 12 and Nanai at fullback the backline looks better.

            BOP to win but at least there are some reasons to tune in.

              As a neutral I might watch this game to have a look at Harry Plummer. He was the top points scorer at the Jock Hobbs Under 19 tournament.

                Moala ruled out. Aso to centre - Manu to wing and Trainor to the bench.

                  Beautiful try Ravouvou. Bit of hungus but good run. Nice set up Taleni Seu.

                    Ravouvou in again. Auckland game plan is carving up.

                      Renata yellow carded. You could see that coming.

                        Sensational defence by Blake Gibson and Akira Ioane.

                            Manu is a good player the Auckland winger. Probably been Auckland's most consistent back this year.

                              Henry seems to have made a difference...

                              Caretaker coach for 2018?

                                  Don't agree with that TMO decision. It wasn't clear and obvious that that went forward.

                                    @stargazer yep BOP havent had the rub of the green with the reffing.

                                    Having said that this Auckland defense is bloody impressive.

                                      A signature game under Clayton’s coaching. The forwards look impressive, but the backline is disjointed and poor on attack

                                        Elkington-MacDonald misses a drop goal from straight out in front. He is mud.

                                                @kiwimurph He's a terrible 10, possibly the worst in the whole Mitre 10 Cup.

                                                Taleni Seu having fun today.

                                                    The Auckland loose trio is insanely good for NPC level.

                                                      @tim tbf there have been a fair few forward passes missed.

                                                      Despite his 10 in the bin Renata has made a shit load of tackles.
