BOP v Auckland

[African Monkey]

@Duluth Done more in 1 hit up than Apisai did all game.

[frugby]

Lol, the commentators haven't done their research and don't know that Thomas plays for the Reds.

[KiwiMurph]

One positive for Auckland has been Evans at 15. He looks really good there. Given his size it could be his future.

[African Monkey]

I'll give it to Gibson, he has been everywhere in the 2nd half so far.

[KiwiMurph]

Lovely service from Thomas.

Evans deserved try

[frugby]

I don't know whether to laugh or cringe at Parsons' hilarious pre-written things to say after a try - oh, I just answered my own question.

[Steven Harris]

Thats carried back every day of the week and twice on Sunday

[African Monkey]

The subs have made a difference.

[frugby]

@Steven-Harris Need a better camera angle I reckon. Pretty hard to tell from an end on style. Could easily be an optical illusion.

[KiwiMurph]

If Tangitau can keep his error rate low he's going to be a very dangerous player.

[frugby]

Game on now... Thomas has been superb.

[KiwiMurph]

Amazing what happens when you can win a lineout

[Duluth]

Some physical work from Beehre. The tackle then the drive through

[African Monkey]

Far out Auvkland have gone from looking like wooden spooners in the first have, then looking like title contenders the next.

Kalani Thomas has made a difference.

[KiwiMurph]

Hope Forbes is ok - he had a fine game

[African Monkey]

Line out woes continue.

[Steven Harris]

Knocked back , but obviously not an optical illusion on this occasion

[African Monkey]

Dumb penalty from Ta'avao.

[Duluth]

That should be the game. Silly Angus

[KiwiMurph]

That is woeful from Ta'avao
