        Nice.

        The original Auckland jersey has really grown on me. Looks very different in the flesh compared to the first photo I saw... I like it. Well done Paladin

              Big tick for Choat to be named captain.

              Akira's 50th Auckland cap.

                  What happened to Rayasi? I don’t recall him getting injured last weekend.

                  Congrats to Choat.

                    Suprised Canterbury let Finau go with their lack of depth showing in their midfield. Hope he goes well.

                    Hard to know what Harbour side will turn up. They've been very inconsistent this year.

                      Plenty of banter in the flat.

                      There is also a potential debut off the bench for Joel Cobb, while Auckland continue to be without 2019 All Black Angus Ta’avao who is battling a baffling leg injury thought to be some form of compartment syndrome. Ieremia isn't sure whether they will get him back this year but is hopeful of a return for the business end.

                        Harbour's form has been all over the place. At times they've looked like they have the best pack in the competition

                        I think we'll get the best version. Not just because of the cross town rivalry but because this is basically a knockout game for them


                        After this match they have:
                        Northland (away), Counties (Home), BOP (away)

                        I think they should be warm favourites for those matches

                        Currently they are on 12 points

                        In previous years the points needed to qualify for the semis were:
                        29, 34, 31, 34, 32, 30, 28, 33, 31

                        4 wins gets them to 28.
                        4 wins and 2-3 bonus points gets them in that mix

                        They probably will still need someone else to have a bad run

                        Lose and they are fucked

                            This should be a good one.

                            Harbour were decent against Wellington last week, but their downfall was their wingers not being able to deal with Wellington's kicking, especially the high ball.

                            It seems like Page is the one who got punished for that this week, but it could've easily been Aoake too.

                              Great work from no workrate Akira Ioane to set up AJ Lam there.

                                          Zarn Sullivan showing what a talented player he is so far. Choat and Ruru also been very impressive so far.
