Southland v Auckland
-
<p>What a frustrating game against a negative disruptive Southland team.</p>
-
<p>great try there, pace of Akira and then the pass.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope Hansen and co have a word to him about his tough guy antics.</p> -

<p>Good on Jimmy Cowan for letting Akira know what's up. Bout time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And no surprise Akira isn't man enough to follow through on all his chest-thumping.</p>

<p>Nice try he just set up there....</p> -

Are you kidding me! What did you expect, do you think he was gonna thump him, this is rugby</p></blockquote><br>
And how is that for maning up, shit who made that try -
<p>another try for Auckland after a solo effort from reiko</p>
-
<p>and another...Southland all but gave up about 10 mins ago</p>
-
<p>51-16 FT</p>
-
<p>And now the score has really blown out. Very frustrating for the most part. </p>
-
<p>Thought Lima Sopoaga had a very average night. Definitely a bit rusty.</p>

Dont think Akira did anything out of line with Jimmy - they just got in each other's faces and started smiling - you have to remember they were teammates with the Blues 2015.<br><br>
Ioane brothers were definitely impressive - Rieko especially - a week in AB camp certainly hasnt hurt.<br><br>
Good hitout for Tuipulotu too - made his presence felt.
