Heaps of changes to that team. It's only Auckland.

Oh great, TJ commentating again.

[KiwiMurph]

Blake Gibson is out so Slade shifts to 6 & Kaiafa to 7.

[KiwiMurph]

Lol Aso drops the kickoff under zero pressure.

[KiwiMurph]

Waikato 5 nil.

Ive seen some bad Auckland teams but this Nick White vintage last year and this year are very hard to watch.

[KiwiMurph]

Trainor's penalty attempt hits the post. Good follow up from Auckland - Tuipulotu powers over. Auckland 7 -5.

[Tim]

Backline looks better with Faiane taking it flat.

[KiwiMurph]

@Tim bit of a jynx there.

[Tim]

God damn it.

I've seen high school teams that are better coached than the Nick White teams
Which is just sad

[KiwiMurph]

Milo Harris is making errors again - not great.

[KiwiMurph]

How fucking bad is Jordan Trainor? Jeez he looks woeful.

[KiwiMurph]

Waikato 10 Landsdowne playing well. Solid.

[Higgins]

Looks to have a bit of toe too. That was a nice clean up from that dangerous Vince Aso run and he outsped the Auckland defenders when chasing his kick when running it back at them from the same play.

[KiwiMurph]

Interesting choice by Auckland...their prop goes off and they decide to take a scrum....

[KiwiMurph]

Scrum does the job and Auckland score.

I think Auckland have scored all their tries this season from forward power.

Akira really making an impact now.

[African Monkey]

Geez we love putting ourselves under pressure.

[KiwiMurph]

Great turnover Milo Harris.

Wiseguy Faiane with his 2nd woeful pass on his own line.
