Ultimate NPC: Final Auckland v Otago
-
-
Kelleher the only Otago player better than their opposite .
Mils vs Smith is a pretty close call.
-
Auckland to win the final on a penalty try at the death.
-
is Colin Hawke reffing?

Smith, Kronfeld, hayman and Hoeft arent too far off their opposition though
-
I think Otago has the better lineout.

i'd be tempted to start Foster if so

Lifting will be a new experience for the Auckland locks. Diving, not so much...
-
Auckland by the skin of their teeth

probably a penalty try....

This is getting really difficult. All players in their prime - Akl - just. I reckon we are ahead in about 7 or 8 positions but they are very debatable.

in a combined 15 i think i take from Otago
Hoeft
Maling (lineouts)
KelleherA few others are close.
But that Auckland team is fucking stacked. 4 of the pack make my all-time AB XV (and 3 make my all time anywhere XV)
Probably 4 others would make the B team. -
@mariner4life Yeah. The 50 / 50 s I left out. Ended up a bit like you I suspect
It was like 6 or 7, to 3 or 4.
-
Auckland by daylight - even with all the Hawkes Bay boys in the Otago team.
-
That Auckland tight 5 will win the tight battle, the loosies make the gap wider, then the backs have some fun.
-
Ben Smith > Mils.
I reckon Ben Smith was robbed not to be a World Player of the Year. He had a couple of seasons where he just didn't make a mistake.
