Auckland's scrum getting it's arse handed to it
Hodgeman or the other side the fault?
Looked more like Renata.
I don't think the 2nd row of Lane and Vest helps much.

Auckland set piece is horrendous today
That one was a bit better!

This Aussie number 8 has butchered 2 tries. He has no idea about bodyheight.
3, tho they managed to get it wide

Harsh yellow.
Yes but they got lucky with the no penalty try and YC 5mins ago.
Ref started well but he’s missing plenty now. Not straights, cleaning out miles away from the ruck, offside line is poor etc

It was on Renata's side. Adams is a good prop, but he does play games with bind etc at scrum time. Ref came around to that side and pinged Adams straight away. Then Auckland scrum dominated.

Ref missing quite a bit...been plenty of headlocks, high hits, knock ons, under pressure scrum, then gives a card for that...

The ref is not up to it. Firstly a penalty for a player offside in the way of the half back. Then yellow card for a shoulder charge that was not. Useless. Not up to it.
Auckland handed the lead by a ref who is clearly not up it. Two disgraceful decisions in a row.

It's going both ways.

@KiwiMurph yea he is sadly out of his depth. Missed alot for Auckland early on then let us away with a bit later.
