Auckland vs Waikato

[Tim]

Tamura-Paki is the best we can do as reserve loosehead?

[KiwiMurph]

Better play by Milo Harris.

[African Monkey]

@Tim Yep as much shit as we give Sam Prattley, he's still far better than anything below him (sadly).

[KiwiMurph]

@African-Monkey one scrum aside this young bloke has done ok.

Wiseguy pop gun kick.

[Tim]

Eklund has improved a lot. Throwing in particular.

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Two weak carries from the prop so far.

[KiwiMurph]

@Tim Fair. Ive got low expectations of Auckland props.

[Tim]

Nice work from Sam Slade.

Maybe two loose forward positions left at the Blues. Contenders are Manehera, Slade, and Taramai? Number Eight cover is probably the most important.

[KiwiMurph]

@Tim I'd rather a young bloke than Taramai.

Wiseguy doesnt look so wise.

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Not too bad for a 19 year old.

[Tim]

@Tim Oh christ.

[KiwiMurph]

@Tim I disagree. Perofeta is about the same age and is a million times better than this bloke.

[African Monkey]

Milo Harris needs to use his box kick more as he has a good one. Wiseguy is struggling big time clearing the ball.

[African Monkey]

Oh Jordan Trainor just get off now and go back to Waikato.

[Tim]

Rather harsh yellow card on the replay. Renata didn't actually pull it down.

[KiwiMurph]

Hahaha Trainor - its hilarious he has a Super contract.

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph One of the worst games I've seen.

[Higgins]

The basic catching, passing skills and ball retention skills seem to be difficult for some of the Auckland players to master.

[KiwiMurph]

@Higgins Welcome to a Nick White coached team.

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Trainor's skills seem to have regressed seriously since last year, or even his game this year against the Reds.
