    Messy game which was expected. We left about 50 points out there but that's fine, no need to be peaking at this stage.

    Sio Tomkinson really needs to change his tackling technique as well. Happens way too often with him.

    @African-Monkey I can't really see how it's technique. How many legal tackles does he do a game? It's brain farts.

    Well he seems to have said flatulence regularly.

    Random thoughts without reading the thread:

    Auckland wasteful. Should have nailed another 20 odd points.

    Could whoever have picked the jersey colours for the officials tried a bit harder to make them more different to Auckland?

    We've found Sotutu's first weakness: seemed to have some issues with control at the back of the scrum.

    Yep - was apparent during Super Rugby too.

    A weakness with most no.8s nowadays. Mitchell and Brooke were so good at this.

    It's pretty rare for scrums to have the ball at the back and keep it there

    @Bovidae Akira Ioane is probably the best at it funnily enough, but obviously seen as more of a 6 these days.
