Southland v Auckland

[Tim]

LOL, a couple of "c-words" from the crowd.

[Duluth]

Ref is a retard

[KiwiMurph]

That needed a maximum of 2 replays.

These processes are ridiculous.

[Tim]

@Duluth This guy hasn't got a clue.

Just trying to find a reason not to award it.

[Steven Harris]

@KiwiMurph 3 players from Manukau being looked at for Moana Pacifika
These 3 players are very impressive in their own right ..Faletoi the 10 given the right support could be anything , same applies for Nella the number 8 ..size wise makes Henry Stowers look like a midget …and Ikenasio who is a tight head prop

[KiwiMurph]

@Steven-Harris Excellent.

[Duluth]

How was that challenge not a penalty??

[Tim]

@Duluth Terrible ref. Has only reffed one side at the ruck and now that.

[KiwiMurph]

Been impressed by Funaki today.

[African Monkey]

Another journeyman Charlie Abel comes on.

[Mattasaurus]

Results aside, I've seen plenty to like from the Stags in the 1st two games.
Go the Stags

[KiwiMurph]

nice attack Southland.

Lovely tackle Plummer.

[Duluth]

Choat getting through a lot of work

[KiwiMurph]

@Duluth I don't really like the balance of him and Gibson though. Would like to see Peita at 6 (hopefully the knock he took mid week isn't too bad)

[African Monkey]

@Mattasaurus They're still in this game, could still take it and yes, they look good so far. Their first win won't be too far away.

[Grooter]

@Mattasaurus these stags will get a win soon.. heading in the right direction

[Duluth]

@KiwiMurph

I agree but I think we’re more likely to see a change at 8. Pugh has had a low workrate is both his matches

[Steven Harris]

Impressed with the Stags given the lack of cattle ,apart from Banks,Gregory and Bekuis ..all club players

[KiwiMurph]

Cripes ref - calls a reset as the ball is coming out.

[Mattasaurus]

@Steven-Harris yup I love the heavy club influences... Shows in the performance.. Passion for the jersey.
