Taranaki v Auckland

Duluth

I haven't seen him play there. The pace of the back of the scrum could be useful. The team looks better with him in the backrow.. more targets for our wonky throwing hookers

The best backrow of who is fit might be Choat/Ekuasi/Clark. Maybe we'll see it late in this game

@Duluth as I said Patrick in cast broken arm take it or leave it

george33

Akira out for 6 weeks I actually no Patrick good mate tells me alot

Duluth

@george33 ok, so season ending for both of them

george33

Yes

Naki got a few late changes, Parete , Franklin and Perofeta are all out, replaced by Loft, Bedwell-Curtis and Potroz.

Nogusta

@Duluth yea correct. As @george33 said Patty T reinjured his arm, came back too soon, and Akira torn ankle ligaments.

Well I decided I getting old fellas. Raining and and turned cool, and have decided to give game a miss tonight, and watch it on TV. It's not being at game (I have watched plenty in shit weather) but the drive home in the rain and dark isn't appealing at all. An hour and a bit (each way)on the road is getting a bit of a chore for me these days (even if I am a gold member etc)!! FFS!

Choat replaced in 4th minute because of an injury. Ekuasi on.

Territory and discipline. Auckland got it wrong in the first 7mins, pretty good in the next 25

Duluth

Annandale has been good in general play.. however I think the scrum has looked better this year when he’s not been in the second row?

Logan Crowley, another player stretchered off with possibly a season-ending injury.
