Premiership Final - Auckland v Tasman (Free entry)

[Steven Harris]

Lester Faingaanuku is an absolute beast with ball in hand ,always makes ground

[Machpants]

Nice kick!

[ACT Crusader]

Hooray a tackler penalised for not releasing ball carrier.

That call has been in hiding the whole season....

[KiwiMurph]

Lam has been pretty poor so far.

[taniwharugby]

I think they need to look at players hitting rucks that are clearly lost, seen plenty of guys charging in from 5m or so hitting one of the pillars, despite the fact the ball is well and truly lost, often when repelled, they re-load and try again...an injury waiting to happen.

[ACT Crusader]

Orc’s defensive organisation is very good.

[Toddy]

Three penalties in row should be a yellow.

[taniwharugby]

@Toddy yeah dont always need a warning, seems sometimes team wait for the warning to stop infringing.

[KiwiMurph]

Here comes the card.

Smart from Ta$man.

[ACT Crusader]

Go the scrum?

[hydro11]

Big end to the half. Ta$man in the box seat now going into half time.

[taniwharugby]

@ACT-Crusader yeah odd to go for the lineout

[ACT Crusader]

Try and Angus in the bin to start the second half.

Thought it was an opportunity to get an Auckland loose forward off the field.

[KiwiMurph]

TJ excitement levels suddenly go up.. funny that....

Mute is your friend.

[Chris B.]

Good stuff!

That was a great kick by Sullivan, but we've dominated territory and possession in this half and deserve to be ahead.

Probably by more.

Much better effort than last time we were in Auckland.

[Steven Harris]

Being here at the ground , the guy who is constantly talking to his forwards geeing them up Hugh Renton , whenever there is a break , he pulls all the forwards in ..concern for Auckland is the amount of defence they have had to endure..it make take some individual brilliance from a Rayasi to break this game open..

[KiwiMurph]

Leicester has been the most dangerous back on the field by a country mile.

[Donsteppa]

I think teams should start contesting those 5m line outs in defence far more often ... the 5m maul seems to be increasingly hard to stop. So they as well take a chance at stealing the ball, and make the attacking line out and make hooker sweat a bit rather than having a free throw...
