Auckland v Hawke's Bay

[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

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

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!

[KiwiMurph]

Jipper will be happy

[Nepia]

Wow, Magpies really do not like starting well, Auckland in again after halftime.

[KiwiMurph]

About as cynical a penalty advantage as you'll see and they concede the try anyway.

RTS has a better boot than Beauden

My dead nana has a better boot than 2023 Beauden.

[Stargazer]

How good is Fakatava's boot!

[KiwiMurph]

Reminds me of last year vs Northland - Auckland love butchering midfield scrums under the sticks

[Stargazer]

That was a bs call. Kaifa rolled away as soon as physically possible.

[Nepia]

Da fuq, why take the youngster off, he's been effective.

[Duluth]

Class

[Nepia]

Of FFS, now RTS decides to show off his stepping skills.

[Stargazer]

Shit tackling. Sam Smith, looking at you.

[Stockcar86]

And the player who replaced him,Smith missed the tackle on RTS
