NPC Final - Auckland vs Canterbury (free entry)

[Crucial]

Quite incredible to think that Charles Piutau was playing NPC only that far back.

[Bones]

Well fuck it, go Canterbury. Aucklanders getting all uppity and haven't even won anything yet.

[Bovidae]

The weather forecast looks better than yesterday with most of the rain expected after the game.

[Machpants]

Best crowd I've seen at an NPC game for ages

[Tim]

Prattley didn't look good after that accidental head knock.

[Machpants]

Jeez Auckland look awful, occasion getting to them, maybe? Lucky to be only 3 down after 20 ish

It looked like they closed most stands, so that the ones the cameras are focused on fill up nicely, but Ferners who are actually at Eden Park will be able to see it better.

[Machpants]

@stargazer yeah other stands are empty but still, a reasonable crowd.

[Tim]

@machpants Think they definitely look nervous.

Great driving tackle from Ioane earlier.

[Stargazer]

@tim Yeah, sad, he failed his HIA.

[Stargazer]

Romano looks dangerous. Best player on the park at the moment.

But also an awful attempt at a chip

[Stargazer]

Ruru, calm down!

Yup I agree, and Whitelock is outplaying akira too

[broughie]

Ok. Unless Iaone pulls his finger out of his ass I am officially off his bandwagon.

[Stargazer]

Auckland had that coming. Penalty try; yellow card for Akira. Stupid.

[Rapido]

Fuck. By the end of the season I start to just hate rugby. Penalty try for defending. I'm out.

[broughie]

Canterbury a team. Auckland a leaderless incohesive bunch. Pitiful.

[Stargazer]

@rapido You mean for collapsing a driving maul twice, and having been warned.

@rapido Really?

That was so blatantly in the side, utterly awful.
