Auckland bombed a few tries tonight. Been off their game in many ways.

Still, 11 point lead though.

This game isn't over yet. Especially with 14.

Dumb from Melani Nanai,if Auckland lose from here he should be made to walk back to Auckland

Not at all. And if we get home, it'll be well earned - we've held in there tonight, when we've been under the pump. Now to trust the defence.

@steven-harris Another player caught out by the old ruck formed law.

Id make Taranaki favourites to win from here. Lot of time left.

[Steven Harris]

@nzzp the thing is he did not need to do that,and this try gets scored because of a lack of numbers

Totally stupid thing to do, not needed. Poor decision from Nanai, who has been good otherwise

[Steven Harris]

@nzzp great scrum..!

[nzzp]

That was a masive scrum.

Now to kick it over from 50

Brilliant decision to fuck up that restart to get the scrum penalty

The restart was identical to teh Naki one before -- wind must swirl down there

OK, Renata has earned his stripes. The Auckland University converted loosehead is the Blues' backup tighthead.

However this ends, it's been a cracking game

[KiwiMurph]

Hahahaha. Cant say i'm surprised.

I haven't watched much Provincial rugby fro a few years - has the quality improved this year? TBF, I watch Auckland, and they ahve been unwatchable for a while, but there seems to be a few decent teams running around at the moment
