Auckland v Waikato
-
Auckland's discipline in defence is woeful - and the head coach is a defence coach

A matter of time until Auckland get someone binned you would think
There it is
-
Haven't seen much of Waikato but they look much better than their table placing.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if that's the last we see of Zarn today.
Corey Evans copped him flush in the head with his shoulder trying to clean out.

That would be interesting with no first five cover
-
Roe having a whale of a game
-
Good to see Thomas on, and with Evans off that has to leave RTS covering 10 If Zarn doesn’t go 80.
-
That’s so frustrating, he ignores 20 other join from the sides but penalises that one.
-
Not in the cards for Auckland today
-
This could be a drubbing by full time.
Waikato 13 is impressive
-
That was the first drop goal of the current NPC season.
-
@Stargazer saved Apisai getting pinged....again.....
-
Hat-trick Roe.
-
Where has this Waikato team been all season????
-
Ok get, 3 tries in 11 mins
Although who knows when the ref will say the half is over
-
Nice run by Che Clark. Auckland should start him at 6
-
Royal at LH, Clark at lock, 3 opensides. Yuck

Waiting for this bald headed fluffybunny

Haha trust Apisai to knock it on.
-
Funaki was a hand break in the first half. Zarn’s kicking from hand was aimless too
The weird bench worked in Waikato’s favour. They subbed on more power while Auckland’s bench for some reason (injuries?) was a bit lightweight. We should’ve gone to a 6/2 when we saw Waikato had a 7/1 split

Well that was shit
-
Congrats Waikato. Far too good.
Auckland starting Apisai and Funaki were asking for trouble.
Auckland's discipline a real problem. Not dissimilar to the ABs.
-
We looked flat after the Canterbury result last week.
-
When I least expect a win Waikato puts in a performance like that. Funny to see Wrampling come onto the left wing so early in the 2nd half.
-
You would think that Tonu'u and co would do their homework. Ngatai is a halfback, and was the only back on the reserve bench.

Everything was a bit off
Waikato’s gamble of a 7/1 split vs Auckland’s conventional split with no specialist lock had a huge impact on the second half though. With the first half lead they could just shut the game down by recycling possession with fresh forwards

He came in as a replacement for Waikato last season. Tuhakaraina and Anderson weren't even part of the original Waikato squad, but currently with RWC commitments and injuries Waikato are missing 5 midfielders.
-
Just got some great oil
Waikato had requested from Otago to use Vilimoni Koroi as a loan player,every union has to sign off on this sort of transfer ,only one union refused to 🤔
I would imagine the motivation for Waikato would have been very strong -

Both played really well - looked like natural midfielders.
-
Austin Anderson was the 2nd 5 in the Hamilton BHS 1st XV outside Hotham and Kemara. He went over to the Brumbies last year and ended up in the wider Aust U20 squad but didn't make the final cut for this year's WC. I don't know if he has moved back to NZ full time but he is still very young and has a useful left foot.

-
DMac is listed as having one DG, as is Trent Renata and Stephen Donald.
-
Great game Xavier Roe. Did not expect that result.

@Bovidae that was some win given the injuries Waikato have, great to see Simon Parker playing well , hes defenitely one i would love to see back up in Northland , i understand his partner has finished her studies down in the Waikato
Hes one of the bigger body number 8s around. -
@Steven-Harris Yes, Waikato need to back that performance up now.
-
Probably wrong thread, but any news on Akira's ankle?

No idea on the seriousness of the injury but he was using crutches when they showed him at the end of this game.

just needed a reject to come back into the side extremely angry and fired up combined with a massive pre match rark up from the coach then you've got an entire team fired up for a big performance
not exactly something you can bottle up and use on a weekly basis though..
