NPC Final - Auckland vs Canterbury (free entry)

[Tim]

We really miss Papalii - not getting turnovers today.

[Samurai Jack]

Watching Akira closely. Canterbury almost get a turnover because Akira is the first to the ruck but just watches everyone else do their job. The ball spills lose and he kicks it ahead causing havoc. What an enigma!

[Stargazer]

Yes, finally! Try Trainor. Maybe we're getting a real contest now.

[Yeetyaah]

Looks like the say my name promo didn't work for nisbo. Rooroo, soo.

[Stargazer]

Clarke on for Rayasi, who didn't have his day.

[Tim]

That try was due to Ioane's pressure at the ruck then his ball carrying.

Guy is certainly not finished, but who wouldn't want him on in the last 30 minutes in a World Cup knock out game?

[Nepia]

Jesus, they need to pull Ruru, his game has fallen apart this week.

[Stargazer]

@number9 That's not bad, not bad all!

Hopefully Fukafuko isn't worse

[Machpants]

Starting to get exciting!

So when was the list npc north of 20k at the ground?

[Tim]

More ruck pressure from Auckland got that penalty. One of those players was Ioane.

Geez, man, stop the fluffing.

[Tim]

Must be a yellow card coming.

[Tim]

@stargazer Still think he was "dominated"?

[booboo]

Score? Time?
Bloody foxtel

[Tim]

McAlister looks handy.

[Stargazer]

@tim In the first half and in the second half until the yellow card, yes! Then the subs came on and that affected the Canterbury tight five. Maybe they put a bit of pepper in Akira's butt during half time, too.

[Gunner]

Akira had no right to even go close there... wonder if Mr Hansen has noticed this guy?
