Waikato v Auckland

[canefan]

Auckland were in prime position to make a go ahead droppie but lacked the direction and leadership to make it happen. Then they conspire to lose the ball again in an attacking position and have allowed Waikato the chance to win the game at the death with a long long penalty kick. The kick isn't long enough and auckland try to run it the length of the field for a score. Now AK has a chance to advance into waikato territory after the hooter

Normal clean out. Wrapped the arm.

[shark]

Stupid, stupid shit from Ioane.

[canefan]

Akira might cost Auckland the game with a silly piece of foul play

[canefan]

Lucky boy

[shark]

Got lucky there. Never should have put his team in that position.

[gt12]

Nothing in that.

[Tim]

Absolutely normal clean out with arm wrap. Cleaned out a guy trying to slow it down. Rediculous to look at it.

[shark]

A pleasing draw.

[African Monkey]

Fuck Kirkpatrick haha just get it out.

[KiwiMurph]

What a farcical finish.

[Baron Silas Greenback]

Nothing in it. Cooper is hopelessly biased

[African Monkey]

@shark You guys are still last

[Yeetyaah]

Fuck me. Can't be angry at that. Good game.

[Hooroo]

Hilarious last ten mins including over time. How fat is the Ioane?

[Tim]

LOL, that line umpire was desperately trying to manufacture a penalty. That was totally legit.

[Tim]

Auckland desperately needs Plummer back.

[Tim]

LOL, Matt Cooper gave all the Monkley points to Waikato players.

Meanwhile, why is it Kiwi female commentators in rugby and cricket feel like they need to use the forceful shreik as their normal tone?? No issue with female commentators in general. The woman who's name escapes me but who was used a lot in CWC is the best around, but speaks normally. She doesn't seem to feel she needs to somehow deepen her voice and yell at us. There are good female commentators in MLB and the NBA as well. Good on Riki Lee Swannel for being something of a pioneer, but not all pioneers actually do it well. Stop fucking hurting my ear holes.

@Yeetyaah Yeah we certainly didn't deserve to win it. You guys have some good young players coming through and probably deserved the victory despite getting dominated at set piece. Ruru had a shocker for us and him and Leuila aren't clicking at 9 and 10.

We'll get a touch up next week I feel if we don't improve. Even though Canterbury played virtually a club side today, they'll take confidence out of it.
