Auckland vs Canterbury

[Tim]

This ref is woeful. Counter ruck is fine means you can go in from the side now (Sanders).

[Donsteppa]

It’s been lucky for a few players that this ref doesn’t like referring anything to the TMO...

[Donsteppa]

Woeful effort in defence from the Canterbury fullback there.

Auckland back in the lead.

[Tim]

McKay is very, very lucky. This ref is pretty dreadful.

[Tim]

McKay must've felt guilty.

[Higgins]

The Auckland tryscorer moved up very quickly there, way before the ball had passed over the end of the lineout.

[Donsteppa]

Lead about to change hands again as the Auckland pack fall to bits

[KiwiMurph]

Yeah I think Canterbury will run away with it now.

[Tim]

Huge change in the Canterbury scrum with the replacements on.

[Higgins]

As witnessed by that embarrassment Canterbury made of the home team scrum to win a penalty.

[Stargazer]

Mo'unga showing his class again. He really should be on the EOYT.

[KiwiMurph]

@stargazer for a small guy he's got impressive power.

[Stockcar86]

It feels like the time in the game where Auckland drop their heads and concede another 2 tries

[Tim]

Nice work from DP.

[Tim]

Ref isn't even interested in that aerial challenge?

[Stargazer]

@tim He isn't interested in players being offside either. Both teams guilty.

[KiwiMurph]

Really not impressed by Canterbury a few players notwithstanding. Same for Auckland but that goes without saying.

[Higgins]

That blue 21 was palpably offside when he joined that last ruck that almost led to a Ravouvou try. Fortunately Mr. Pickerill managed to blow for a knock on to stop that happening.

[Stargazer]

@kiwimurph Apart from having a new coach, who's already leaving after one season, Canterbury is missing a lot of players they had last year. Several left or are with the ABs. Even Canterbury will be affected by such changes.

[Tim]

Fucking beautiful try. Superb pass from Faiane, and he finishes it off too.
