QF - North Harbour v Auckland

[taniwharugby]

NH bring that maul down, but cos they attacking team, it's all good

[KiwiMurph]

Count that as another scrum penalty messed up by Pugh.

Just put Akira at 8 on attacking scrums surely.

[African Monkey]

AJ Lam bombed that.

[taniwharugby]

@KiwiMurph the way Aucklands scrum going, pretty much all scrums are attacking scrums.

[African Monkey]

@taniwharugby But Jackson Pugh keeps nullifying it by not knowing what to do at the back of the scrum.

[Tim]

Very quick call on not rolling away!

[taniwharugby]

@African-Monkey as he has all season...they may as well chuck Akira there fullstop.

[taniwharugby]

@Tim he did just flop down on it

[KiwiMurph]

Gatland is far better than Hickey.

That came from a Hickey clearance that missed touch.

The faith in Hickey in NZ Rugby never fails to amaze me.

[Tim]

Some good rugby there. Strong carries into some good tackles.

Did Gatland get a knee diving over?

[taniwharugby]

Who was the Aucklander that threw his foot in there causing a knee contact

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Funaki should be kicking those.

[Steven Harris]

How good is Mark Telea..?

[Tim]

@Steven-Harris so hard to stop

[African Monkey]

@KiwiMurph I'm just waiting for his kicks to get charged down every time he touches the ball haha.

Another head knock for Ta'avao. Starting to become a concern for his health.

[African Monkey]

Agree with Aoake, shit call.

[taniwharugby]

He swung his leg out copping a knee to gatland

[Bones]

"He really did try to get under" by kicking at the ball in someone's possession, you can't do that.

[Tim]

This is not looking good for Ta'avao.

He kneed a guy in the head with an illegal action, it's fucken spot on.
