Auckland v Tasman

[KiwiMurph]

@Chris-B pfft Auckland would have spanked you in the final just like they did in the round robin that year :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_closed_eyes:

[Chris B.]

@KiwiMurph We had taken "learnings" from that match.

Fuck it -it still annoys me.

If it wasn't for covid, I'd jump on a plane to Sydney just to spit at his horse!

@Chris-B Hansen tried to kneecap Auckland that year too - took Papalii out of the semis/final for ABs duty (despite not being picked in the ABs matchday 23) - nearly worked too but a final for the ages delivered justice in the end!

A lot of fake news on the Fern today...

@Chris-B I think the best part of that match was watching most of the Auckland team jump on David Havili after the best 6/8 in the country Akira Ioane scored the most wonderful solo try to seal the game

[African Monkey]

@ACT-Crusader Showing his versatility which is good to see......

[Chris B.]

@African-Monkey I mainly remember fucking Patrick Tuipolotu playing like he better fucking play on Sunday!

And the game turning on Finlay Christie getting penalized - the last time in living memory that any halfback was penalized - for not quickly using it when he was told to!

[African Monkey]

@Chris-B Remember it well. It was the correct call, otherwise we'd still be waiting for him to use it at this current time......

He’ll be running water soon.

I guess Akira is a pre game hammy away from being in the 23.

[African Monkey]

@ACT-Crusader Akira playing a test? Lol don't be silly......

[Dice]

Much better start by us this week.

[KiwiMurph]

Really like what i'm seeing from Sullivan so far.

[Dice]

Solid start by Sullivan at fullback.

[KiwiMurph]

What the hell is up with Havili? He has been mud so far.

[Dice]

Havili is having a shocker.

[Dice]

What a start.

What a start.

Just checked the score. Wow, what happened? Good work Auckland

[antipodean]

Thought Wetton might stuff that by not straightening.

[Stargazer]

And then the luck of the bounce, too.

We've been dominating possession and territory. A much more complete performance by us this week.

[Bovidae]

Ta$man don't like coming to Auckland.
