Wellington didn't deserve to win. But likewise Auckland
Thomas Waldrom is finished now. Having him on the field is like playing with 14 players. Or 13 for 10 minutes due to idiotic play by the 7.
Coaches who can't see this shouldn't really be coaching at this level.

Its all Wellington have got. He does ok though but he must be one of the smallest props around

I thought she was all over down 24-10. Did not see that coming.
Sensational final try. Faiane - talk about leading from the front. Trainor very tidy off the bench too. It's no coincidence the change in result from last game when those two were playing this week.
Somewhat concerning Auckland have been outplayed 3 weeks in a row. Still - I think that books a semi final berth so everything from now on is a bonus really given pre-season expectations.

Been absolutely shit tonight. Not sure what he's doing in the team.
We are developing him. He is gaining 'learnings'
Why we are developing an England u20's rep who is currently contracted to Wasps is hard to understand.He should not start at fullback again.
However we should start him at 10 against Southland. Unfortunately he is the only fit backup ten in the squad and he needs more game time there before the semis
We need to start Choat the same reason. He's the only genuine backup 7 and has only had a handful of minutes

@duluth spoke to Adrian,if he does not got to many starts he will be looking at other options.

@steven-harris He was injured for part of this year wasn't he?
Long term I think Papali'i will be at six, so Choat just needs to wait for the inevitable Gibson injury..

You referring to Umaga, Steven? If this is true, they shouldn't select him at all. Let him look at other options. Why are we developing him for England anyway? Our main priority should be to our players and we also have a duty to help develop the PI players.
Edit: Looks like you were talking about Choat.
