BOP v Auckland

[nzzp]

This ref is pants

[nzzp]

... And still pants

[KiwiMurph]

Auckland's attacking pattern/shape this year is rubbish.

The no Tai Lavea influence perhaps?

[Donsteppa]

Mitch Karpik being back has made a major difference

[nzzp]

Still pants. Weird calls

[African Monkey]

Fuck me throw it in straight.

[Donsteppa]

I like this Auckland hooker. Couldn’t hit a barn door at the moment. Handy.

he is bin juice.

If Auckland lose we only have ourselves to blame

[KiwiMurph]

win or lose Auckland are going nowhere this year.

[African Monkey]

@KiwiMurph You got that right.

[Canes4life]

What a shit show.

[nzzp]

This is like Thursday night football in the NFL. Terrible watching

[KiwiMurph]

How shithouse are Auckland at breakdowns when they have the ball? They can't clean anybody out.

[Donsteppa]

Well... that’s the best effort and performance the Steamers have put together all year by a large margin. Didn’t expect to be so disappointed at a loss tonight.

[KiwiMurph]

Smart counter-ruck by Blake Gibson.

Auckland are mud.

[Canes4life]

That was a hard watch.

[Tim]

What an awful half of rugby. O'Keefe let the rucks become a free for all. Halfbacks getting taken before removing the ball from the ruck.

[nzzp]

Scrafton looked like his shoulder was done at the end.

Well done Auckland I think

[African Monkey]

Poor performance from us I thought. We lack punch through our forwards with ball in hand and our bench didn't add a hell of a lot. The one area where BOP were far better than us was in the kicking department, otherwise we made them look a lot better than they actually were.
