Sione Tuipolotu on bench
Thanks, corrected the earlier post. Auckland has put the team up on social media now. Sione Tuipulotu is on the bench not Dalzell
Changes to the Auckland squad: Plummer out, Heem to 12, Corey Evens starting at 13. Not sure who has come onto the bench.
@Stargazer McKenzie
More pressure on Sullivan’s kicking game. Plummer has been doing a decent chunk of the kicking from hand
Powerful and accurate start
Eek, not a good start in the big match of the day.
Magpies defence is a bit passive
Wonderful try Auckland. Smooth.
Nice
Auckland backs are at a deep angle today. Seems to be working
Hey look - a 10 who can exit.....
Choat has been running well today. Not normally a strength of his
Geez, not another one of our props injured, please.
If I was Blues I would be trying to get Thomas out of his Reds contract and convince him to do a Steve Devine.
Brilliant by Fakatava
Beautiful try.
Nice try to the Magpies.
I thought they were going to spare my dicky heart this week by meekly succumbing early, but I'm glad they're showing some fighting spirit.
If another AB hooker is needed go with Thompson
Haha Heem makes some boneheaded slow motion plays at times
