Auckland v BOP

[Steven Harris]

Awful from Rayasi, first rule when learning to play as a kid,never throw the ball to a player in a worse position

[nzzp]

nice try BOP.
Fark if we lose this we'll be kicking ourselves

[Steven Harris]

Brilliant from Bop,be interesting to see how Auckland respond to this .,leadership important in the last 25m

[Winger]

BOP in front (15-10). It will stuff up my tipping again if it stays like this

18-10 kick to come, you're screwed

BOP forwards are going well this half, and they are playing smarter rugby

Still 15 minutes to go. But I've got every game wrong so far so what's one more

[nzzp]

losing the lineout. FFS.

All we need to do now is bring on Simon Hickey adn watch us crumble

[nzzp]

BOP playing very well, good work.

Can see how they hung 40 odd on Taranaki

[Steven Harris]

@nzzp they are a good side especially given they are so young.

[Duluth]

14-7 penalty count is killing Auckland. Simple unforced stuff too

Started with Plummers dumb card

[nzzp]

@Duluth need a miracle now

thank god. I thought we might get some points with back to back penalties

[Duluth]

Vikena has massive potential but this is the worst game I’ve seen him play

our lineout has fallen apart, so has the scrum at times.

WEll played BOP though, they hung tough

[Steven Harris]

Well done Bop ,final score flattered Auckland.

[Duluth]

A bonus point

Should’ve won this game in the first 30mins. Auckland intensity disappears for long stretches so far this season. Attack looks good when they get a few phases

BOP forwards hung in there and then rolled over the top

I wonder when was the last time that Auckland,Canterbury ,Wellington & Ta$man lost on the same weekend..?

[Steven Harris]

How good is Naitoa Ah Kuoi on the interview…?,that was gold lol

Great win! We did bloody well to be in it at half time including playing into the wind. Forwards did their work really well, although credit to Auckland for disrupting our line out for so long.

I was glad RTS, AJ Lam and Rayasi saw little ball in the second half as they all looked dangerous at every touch they had. Personally thought Pugh was the biggest pain in our but all day though.

We played with better structure in the second 40 and happy with the bench input especially from Broughton and TTT.

First win at Eden park since 2004, so stoked.
