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

@ACT-Crusader yeah odd to go for the lineout

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

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

Mute is your friend.

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.

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.

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...

Wish Ardie had his size.

[Steven Harris]

@KiwiMurph as I said the man is a beast with ball in hand , takes about 3 to pull him down..very absorbing final thus far ..

[Tim]

@ACT-Crusader Even at the ground it was obvious. They stopped reffing it after SRA.

Has Ta$man had the wind in the first half?

Rayasi has barely touched the ball, which is all good from my perspective!!!

[Bovidae]

I'm not sure about some of the scrum penalties in this game. If a hooker or prop stands up it should be a reset. even if you are going forward.

[Chris B.]

@Bovidae I haven't liked Nick's default option!

[Steven Harris]

@Chris-B Ta$man will have an advantage of the wind in the 2nd half ..although it seems have died down from when I first arrived ..

[KiwiMurph]

That's a clear try.

[Donsteppa]

At first glance a couple of early cover defenders could have worked harder there, but it looks like the backs got there in time to get him into touch.

[taniwharugby]

@KiwiMurph I thought he was just in touch just before the grounding
