Free jacks.

Both sides offence now seems to be just to use the bomb. Like watching Ireland play Ireland

I don't get that - a 50:50 chance in the middle of the field rather than backing yourself to pin them in their 22.

Plummer to hit the uprights?

Nope

Harbour should have taken the points. Williams confirms he is a terrible ref.

Like watching South Africa play rugby.

Aaaaaand we snatch it.

Really enjoyed that as a neutral, bloody entertaining

We probably were the better team overall, but Harbour certainly weren't helped by Li and Gatland going off.

[ARHS]

Too many dumb errors by Harbour in a match they should have made safe. Deserve to lose when you do that sort of stuff in a playoff. Well done Auckland for hanging in there

Paul Williams let so much go that teams needed to play for position.

[mikey07]

@Duluth Is Paul Williams in there?

Really? Tight but messy, not a lot of attack, box kicking…

[Tim]

Not a great game. Harbour were shite without Gatland, but only played well for about 5 to 10 minutes. Auckland forwards took over without Gatland pinning them back. Funaki was slow as hell, Auckland forwards had about 30 to 40 minutes of decent play, and backline was very disjointed.

Harbour back three were mostly shut down.

Tuipulotu was sensational
