Waikato v Auckland

[Bovidae]

@DrivingMaul Have Waikato been training at Ruakura not Fred Jones/Beetham?

[DrivingMaul]

@Bovidae Yes because Beetham is being keptoff so it's perfect for the All Blacks when they come to play Tonga

[Dice]

Looking forward to the Tele'a vs Tupaea match-up.

[DrivingMaul]

looking forward to the double header today

[Yeetyaah]

Up the fucking Mooloos

[Stockcar86]

3 clear knockons in that series of plays and the officials did not see any of them WTF

[KiwiMurph]

Gibson is a bit of a gronk skills wise.

[African Monkey]

AJ Lam has had a shocking start.

[KiwiMurph]

Starting to see why Leuila hasn't kicked on haha.

[African Monkey]

We look a bit flat out there. Think we need to take some of those penalties and look to crawl our way back into the game.

[Yeetyaah]

Waikato defence on fire.

[African Monkey]

WTF take the points!

[KiwiMurph]

This Auckland team ain't a patch on last year's team.

Crazy that Stratton has not been playing Super.

[African Monkey]

@KiwiMurph Yeah our backline is horribly unbalanced. Lemalu is also a massive loss in our tight 5.

[African Monkey]

Our handling has also been awful so far.

[Dice]

Get that backrower in the number 9 jersey off.

[Tim]

Renata going well in the scrum this year.

[Tim]

Nine and 10 not great!

[Yeetyaah]

Pissed me off that Stratton is heading overseas. Quality.

[African Monkey]

@Tim Ruru's service has been awful. As @Dice said, he's playing like a backrower, running at every opportunity even if the play isn't on.

Leuila's very limited. He has a decent left foot but that's about it. Our outside backs barely see any good ball with him running the backline and he hardly takes the line on.
