Otago v Auckland

I wish our bloody AB loosies ran that hard. Take note fellas, great try by Stodart.
-
Fantastic run from Stodart! Good rugged tough young bastard. I've got a same game multi with him Lam and Tele'a as try scorers. Come on the Auckland midfield!

I just wish they ran at shoulders instead of squaring up.

He's a quality young player. Heck of a big lad too. Him, Haig, de Groot, Withy, Vikena and Holland will be the core of the Landers pack going forward

What odds would you have got on Otago leading at half time?
None based on their performance against Southland.
But credit to them so far, their defence has been very good. Auckland guilty of impatience in this weather too.

So many aging journeymen in this Auckla d side. Surely there must be some better younger players coming through?
Vikena really hasn't kicked on as a player.
Will be interesting to see how he goes away from Auckland next year. Not great for Auckland when they let guys like Faletoi Peni go to Southland and pick up journeymen like Ah Wong

McGrath might be ok as an assistant coach but on the evidence of last year and this year so far he's a mud head coach.
Looks exactly the same as last year. Everything is hard work.

Yep that pissed me off. Peni should have been in the squad last year let alone this year.

Southland has Byron Smith and Peni at 10 and 12. Could have easily both been in blue and white hoops tonight

Nothing terrifies me more whe. Watching Otago than Cam Millar thinking he can beat a defender. You can't mate. Just play your limited game
-
Not sure how that wasn't a turnover to Auckland....

Electric try from Ah Wong.
Auckland is lucky to have such a talented young winger.
