Northland vs Auckland

[Dice]

@tim So it seems Seu getting named in the squad was a tease. It's too bad, he would've been handy.

[Dice]

Nock milked that penalty.

[KiwiMurph]

Not a great start from the Auckland hooker. Sosene who started last week was better.

[Dice]

Papali'i might just be as good as Kaino and Akira at holding players up.

[KiwiMurph]

Plummer wonderful play. The turnover then the try.

Yep, not put off by the jersey pulling.

[Kirwan]

Try saving turnover front akira!

[Kirwan]

Ha, what great rugby! Could have been a try either way

[KiwiMurph]

Great try Northland.

Pryor is having a whale of a game at the breakdown.

@kirwan

One of the few good things he’s done. I’ve only been watching this game to watch him, and he looks the third best Auckland loose forward. If I were an AB selector I’d be hoping to see be more powerful with his strength - nice example there where he just let Pryor turn over the ball.

[gt12]

Couldn’t agree more Jeff.

[KiwiMurph]

Trainor has returned to his standard play. Mud.

Same with Prattley. How does this fucking guy keep getting picked?

He’s been working hard on defence, made some crucial tackles. Not sure why we aren’t seeing his normal attacking game.

@kirwan

He’s made a few cover tackles, but is hardly dominant, and he’s just jogging around.

Good example here where he made no effort to keep up with the play.

[Tim]

@kiwimurph He's just too small.

[Kirwan]

Great D from northland, then they try to run it from their line. Madness.

And he has shit hands.

Rayasi looks sharp again. Very impressed by him.

[Tim]

About four Northland players went straight to deck in that ruck.

Yep the ref is letting lots go
