[Stargazer]

[Stargazer]

Changes to the Auckland squad: Plummer out, Heem to 12, Corey Evens starting at 13. Not sure who has come onto the bench.

More pressure on Sullivan’s kicking game. Plummer has been doing a decent chunk of the kicking from hand

[Duluth]

Powerful and accurate start

[Nepia]

Eek, not a good start in the big match of the day.

[Stockcar86]

Magpies defence is a bit passive

[KiwiMurph]

Wonderful try Auckland. Smooth.

[Duluth]

Nice

Auckland backs are at a deep angle today. Seems to be working

[KiwiMurph]

Hey look - a 10 who can exit.....

[Duluth]

Choat has been running well today. Not normally a strength of his

[Stargazer]

Geez, not another one of our props injured, please.

[KiwiMurph]

If I was Blues I would be trying to get Thomas out of his Reds contract and convince him to do a Steve Devine.

[KiwiMurph]

Brilliant by Fakatava

[Stargazer]

Beautiful try.

[Nepia]

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.

[KiwiMurph]

If another AB hooker is needed go with Thompson

[KiwiMurph]

Haha Heem makes some boneheaded slow motion plays at times

I think I read somewher he's Maori so is most likely NZ eligible without having to do an actual Devine too.

[Nepia]

Yes, try to Parsons!
