@Bovidae he's been very underwhelming at centre.

Patrick still injured?

You need to be extra careful with Achilles.

Big praise for Trainor from Parsons on this week's podcast.

@Canes4life TBH been underwhelming everytime he’s on the field

To be fair, his brother took a while to hit his straps, if he's on the same trajectory he could end up being pretty decent eh.

@Bones Yeah very true maybe that was why they signed him to a 5 year deal

It's on! Go Auckland, cracking day up here in the big smoke

... and holy shit Akira has normalised his haircut. No more bleach. Hopefully he lifts again

Stargazer

So they swapped JSavea and Patafilo? Tactical decision?

quoting myself, but damn that's my fault. Akira down with blood I think

@Stargazer sounded like an injury in Wellington starting 14?

Stargazer

@nzzp From bleached to dark pink. Normalised you say?

nzzp

@Stargazer dark pink I don't mind. Bleach like that doesn't do it for me... I did it once myself and looked like a total muppet.

Bones

Stoked to see Wellington have worked on their discipline.

Good rolling maul Auckland.

He was setting up the try.

nzzp

Good rolling maul Auckland.

it's an absolute weapon at the moment, so good to see

Bones

So far all Wellington have done is give away penalties. Nothing changes eh.

Can Fifita do us all a favour and go over seas. He must be the dumbest player in NZ. Ben Nicholas should be starting instead of him.
