Auckland v Waikato

Bovidae

Waikato NPC travel up State Highway 1 this week to face the old foe Auckland in the Battle of the Bombays at Bell Park, ...

Bovidae

Finau back. Filipo has named a 7:1 bench.

Will be interesting what sort of crowd they get at Bell Park. It should look better than a handful of fans at an enormous stadium.

Finau back. Filipo has named a 7:1 bench.

So many injuries... at this point, if you have to run M Wrampling or Finau on the wing, probably not the end of the world.

Filipo has named a 7:1 bench

Auckland should consider removing a back and going to a 6/2

Bovidae

@frugby Wrampling ended up on the wing at the end of the Wellington game.

The only positive is giving these young players experience. Taranaki had a similar injury crisis a few years back.

Tim

@Duluth Not 100% sure, but think he might have played a couple of club games at 10.

KiwiMurph

A special jersey for Auckland tomorrow.

george33

@Duluth he has arm in cast for last 2 weeks think he has broken it again

Stargazer

Eeew, Jono Bredin is the ref.

KiwiMurph

@Stargazer Ha - had the same thought

frugby

Good start from Bredin lol.... how did he miss that knock on.

KiwiMurph

A matter of time until Auckland get someone binned you would think

KiwiMurph

Waikato definitely winning the collisions so far

Duluth

Beehre a late injury?

KiwiMurph

Zarn ran over the top of a prop

Duluth

That’s better. Auckland have been sloppy so far

KiwiMurph

Nice slight delay on the pass by Tito Harris.

Kirwan

Nice to finally finish off a break.

Kirwan

Great ball from Waikato there
