Auckland v Tasman

[Tim]

Those maul calls ... jeez ...

[Grooter]

Big & Strong🙂

@Tim matched sideways and back 5m before called

[KiwiMurph]

Hodgman bloody unlucky

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Maul going backwards collapses. How is that not a scrum?

[Bovidae]

Players don't really listen to the refs do they?

[taniwharugby]

No width on Auckland d there, although you'd expect Paea with his power to score still

[Chris B.]

That's the one I'm talking about in the AB thread.

Why isn't the opposing wing covering that? It happens so frequently, it's got to be a tactic - but, I can't see that it's a good one!

[taniwharugby]

He touched that didn't he, so should be a scrum?

[Tim]

Auckland need to go for the corner, not penalty goals. Their defence out wide is a bit shonky this year.

[taniwharugby]

Wtf is up with teams defending like this? Give the outside like that...well taken though

[KiwiMurph]

I have serious doubts about McGrath the defence coach.

Awful defence.

[Tim]

We know that Rayasi isn't a fullback. This is real head-desk shit. Always defending out wide like we are a man down. Awful.

[Chris B.]

Plummer has twice kicked his goal line dropouts in front of the line.

Why doesn't the TMO call that!

[taniwharugby]

Rayasi 🤦

[KiwiMurph]

Hickey on.... cripes

[taniwharugby]

Haha again, Auckland standing 20m inside the Ta$man wing

[KiwiMurph]

@taniwharugby said in Auckland v Ta$man:

Haha again, Auckland standing 20m inside the Ta$man wing

Zero halftime adjustments from Auckland. Awful.

[taniwharugby]

Why is it a maul marches 5m sideways 5m back before it is called?

Man some dummies in this Auckland team...choat not one of them

[taniwharugby]

That could be brilliant...
