Parete lucky there’s not a better angle of that

Yep, or could be unlucky too as we may see what happens.

I have to say enjoying the game and got to mention we at halftime and am pleased to see no TMO interference, does anyone think WR could maybe take note?? Boy it makes difference to a game of rugby!! Ref actually making the decisions!

Ok home team first. Me will remember maybe

broughie

@number9 Aucklands lack of pride is hurting them more.

Winger

Perofeta needs to play first for blues. With Barrett at fb

taniwharugby

was wondering earlier why Northland had to move thier game v Manawatu from Okara (due to womens RWC) yet Auckland are allowed to stay at EP?

The Groundsman was saying Eden Park has some artificial stuff mixed in…

Who took decision - I though it was Northland?

@kev I'd heard NZR

Naki making lots of errors letting Auckland back in

taniwharugby

Good patience, Auckland tie it up

broughie

So it wet and they are starting to play it in the forwards. This is a low IQ bunch.

Winger

All Ak so far this half. 17-17

Winger

Perofeta class again. 24-17 taranaki or 17-24

taniwharugby

Thought that warranted another look...

Perofeta needs the ball more.

It will be a turf assessment I guess.
EP is being hammered recently though.
Three games last week, this, and three next week.
Fair enough to ask I guess. What’s Okara like turf wise?

@Crucial pretty good surface...not been played on for a fortnight as at today.

Drainage has been good but couldn’t say about the turf itself.
