Southland vs Auckland

[Kirwan]

Plummer has kicked two really nice sideline conversions.

Not saying it wasn't correct, just saying the law is an arse. 10 mins for that is excessive in my opinion. Who wants to watch 15 on 14?

Up to the player not to infringe so stupidly

They know how it is ruled these days. Agree or not, but knocking down a ball in an attacking situation is a straight yellow.

Unless you're SA.

Did Lindenmuth go off?

fark it, let's do the Otago/Southland double

[nzzp]

Auckland looking a different side this half - playing really open running offloading footy.

I have been impressed with the Auckland wings this year.

[Steven Harris]

Has Olmstead been signed by the Blues..?,really like the way this fella goes about his work,does most of his basics really wether it’s at 6 or lock.

[taniwharugby]

pull finger Auckland, I understand if they win, Southland 'win' an uneviable NPC record outright off another NPC team...

[African Monkey]

@steven-harris Hope so. I like the energy he brings and he loves the contact.

@nzzp Rayasi has been fantastic. Any chance of giving Caleb Clarke's Blues contract to him?

[nzzp]

28-3, bonus point and that should be the game with 25 to go.

Well done Auckland - have vastly exceeded expectations this year and won games we should have lost. Just need to get up against harbour now - not as easy as it sounds.

[Kirwan]

Ruru needs to put that inside flick away.

[Dice]

@kirwan Especially with a wet ball.

[Dice]

Much better rugby by us in this 2nd half.

Reckon Graham looking grumpy would do it.

Also, Southland have played better than the scoreline indicates.

[Kirwan]

What a bounce, evil

[African Monkey]

I swear every time Broc Hooper touches the ball he kicks it no matter what the situation is in the game.

[Steven Harris]

Gotta give the Southland boys their dues,from what I believe they have no super rugby players, apart from Tony Lamborn who played a couple of games for the Canes ,they have hung in there without looking like they were ever gonna win.
Been really impressed with Selby Rickett he is right up there in the lineout stats throughout the Mitre 10cup..Also wish Nico Costa had stayed in Auckland,has looked really good behind a beaten pack.
