Premiership Final - Auckland v Tasman (Free entry)

voodoo

Cool finish for a neutral supporter

Yeetyaah

Lmao Havili didn't get it on the first go. Doesn't that mean he has to leave it?

@gt12 I reckon he made the call.

well done Ta$man.

antipodean

Congrats Ta$man.

Stargazer

Close but deserved win.

Yeetyaah

Lmao Christie, cheeky bugger.

KiwiMurph

Ta$man should have won by far more.

Well deserve winners.

gt12

@gt12 I reckon he made the call.

Good call, actually I can how you would too, as he was on it for a second. Tough, but that’s finals footy.

Fun game for a neutral.

Yeetyaah

@Chris-B 😉👍

Lmao Christie, cheeky bugger.

Yep, he'd have survived about two minutes in the era of Richard Loe, but he is good at it

Fitting that a poor refereeing decision finishes the game

That penalty was a fair call. I thought Stone was going to ignore it.

I enjoyed that game as a neutral.

I noticed Nick Smith in the crowd, but why dressed so formally. piston wristed gibbon

Not sure why they didn't go for the posts with 6 to go. Zarn has the distance and there would have been plenty of time left even if he had missed.

@akan004 just like Havili did, and then got the winning penalty minutes later.

Hooroo

Well done Ta$man. Excellent win for NZ rugby.

Bovidae

FFS Hickey you are shit.

He ain't no Gatland.

Congrats Ta$man and @Chris-B . Probably would've won by more if Christie's service wasn't so slow.

Auckland created enough in the last 10, but couldn't execute.

Well played Ta$man - did just enough to win, understood the ref better. Auckland kept conceding stupid penalties -- the story of our season it feels.

Still, a decent season all told. Should grow from here. I reckon with TJ Faiane we would have won that one... really telling injury.
