I think that’s the same xv as the opening match. Abel the only change in the 23
-
@Duluth that's last Sundays team👍 they've made a few changes for the Auckland game
-
Oops, yes. Wrong link. The team was on facebook https://www.facebook.com/southlandstags/photos/a.431607439199/10159163736359200/?type=3

Was hoping to see Sam Wye again.
-
When's Tangitau available? I think he'd be good at this level. I'd chuck him on Aoake's wing when he's available.
-
-
It's been a good 24hrs with Otago and the All Blacks winning😀 now it's up to the Stags to complete the trifecta
-
Take the 3 boys
-
Aucklands rush defence is still a work in progress. Good chance we see it at the Blues next year with McGrath involved in both teams.
Good to see some variety in tactics. Most NZ sides play exactly the same
-
@Duluth Not sure how Gregory was able to go for the turnover there ...

This post is deleted! -
take the 3 again boys
-
It doesn’t feel like it but the missed tackles are 9-1 against Southland
-
Quite impressed with Southland so far. Looking organized in defence with Banks steering them around the field nicely so far.
-
@Duluth Hah really? Certainly no glaring misses.
-
Yeah I think it’s lots of stepping the first man but being tackled by the second. Not many metres gained from them
-
not the Aussie! 😔
-
Come on Stags.. De Groot is watching you all the way from SA
-
@FakatavaAllBlack who do you cheer for when Otago play Southland?
-
lovely kick Funaki
-
@KiwiMurph Otago!
-
Rayasi given his physical attributes and skill set has to be one of the biggest disappointments in terms of for filling his potential
-
nice Marty , seems as though the steamers are going well on the other channel
-
Hmmm wouldn't say Southland are out of it yet. Banks is key with his kicking game.
Auckland dominating set piece so far, and Connor Vest is still one of the dumbest players going round.
-
@African-Monkey I can categorically tell you having covered AK club this year ,there’s a 2-3 better locks that would have been better options
-
Something you don’t see every day ..probably a bomb threat
-
ok ...
-
@Steven-Harris And its one of the reasons why we don't see many local players come through to super level when we see journeymen from other areas clog up spots in the side.

Alama likes having a couple of left field selections
I hope this is his last year
-
Why was Hodgman replaced? Dominating at set piece, only change at half time.
-
She's all back on at Rugby Park Invercargill
-
Hopefully Zarn is ok - didn't look comfortable.
-
Auckland's discipline on the offside line has been atrocious.
-
Scrappy game. Little flow.
-
Get Vikena and Ekuasi on
Need some energy out there
-
I’d prefer Hickey to kick for goal when him and Plummer are on the field
-
Stags fan telling Harry how they feel
-
Oh Simon......
