Auckland v Tasman

[ACT Crusader]

@Dice said in Auckland v Ta$man:

We should've subbed Whetton off a while ago. Not sure why we haven't brought on our bench lock yet.

Still not safe enough lead 😎

[Toddy]

Collar bone or shoulder

[Chris B.]

That looks bad for Whetton.

Well, we've stopped the bleeding, but attacking like one legged men wearing tourniquets!

[Stargazer]

If they lose this game, and it looks like that will be the case, Ta$man will drop to third after this weekend.

[antipodean]

That Zarn Sullivan had a good game.

[Stargazer]

@antipodean Yep, he's welcome back home.

[Chris B.]

Good work, Nankivell!

Here we come @Dice!!!

[Dice]

@Chris-B I wish we didn't take our starters off now.

Plummer with a Rupeni-scoop

This is as bad as I've seen Havili play.

[Bovidae]

Ross hanging out on the wing, as usual.

[Chris B.]

@Dice His first half was his worst I can recall. He's picked it up a bit in the second, but we're playing sevens now.

Yeah.

Orc forwards have been brutal. Christie and Hunt have been well contained.

[ACT Crusader]

Just a little confusing that last maul...

[Nepia]

I would have thought Ross would have filled out more since he's a decade older, but he appears to have adopted Piri's arse but stayed skinny everywhere else.

[Tim]

Was at the pub. Just seen the score. Looks like Auckland clicked.

Auckland using the same blueprint Harbour used - don't give us the ball and use a big pack to smother us.

Huge difference from last year's team is we're much smaller from 4-8.

Somewhat better second half (we won it!) - but, mainly once the benches came on.

@Chris-B this Auckland team is no great shakes. Ta$man to win comfortably.

I knew it!

You lying JAFA!!!

@African-Monkey said in Auckland v Ta$man:

Why does Ta$man get guys released from the ABs to play but no-one else?

Didn't help them much.
