North Harbour v Auckland

[Duluth]

I want to see some progress from Sullivan this week. He's still having some good generic rugby moments but he's struggling as a ten

He kicked some good ball away last week. Also I'd like to see some contestable kicks. When Auckland does do a contestable it's almost always from Plummer (ands usually too shallow)

Sullivan has an enormous boot but he kept kicking it straight to defenders. The extra distance is immediately eaten up by that

Hopefully Thomas at 9 helps Zarn.

@Tim easily the best player last week too

That should have been a penalty against Mayhew. No release.

[KiwiMurph]

That was very nicely worked.

Fusitua having a good game

[Tim]

Good patience.

[KiwiMurph]

That's a class try in the conditions.

Good team try. Much better this week
