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?

[Stargazer]

@booboo 26 - 19 Canterbury with 8 minutes to go.

Thanks Gazer

[Tim]

How is that not a yellow card?

[Stargazer]

Clarke in for the try. This is the excitement we're looking for. Well, as neutrals anyway.

[Stargazer]

And it's 26 all with 6 minutes to go!

[No Quarter]

What a comeback! Ioane at the forefront.

[Stargazer]

Great turnover Auckland, and Akira had nothing to do with it

[Tim]

Great fucking kick.

[Machpants]

Yeah Ioane has really upped, and the rest of AKL too! Love this as a neutral

[booboo]

Akira droppy to win it?

[Stargazer]

For the record, I don't have anything against Akira but I hate the fluffing. I think he's generally more exciting than L Whitelock, but not necessarily ready for the ABs. The first half illustrated that clearly. I trust Hansen's judgement.

[Nepia]

How do you award a penalty to player who gets the ball on first go but then can't clear it because others have joined the ruck?

[Stargazer]

Faiane has been Auckland's best player by far.
