Heaps of changes to that team. It's only Auckland.
-
Oh great, TJ commentating again.
-
Blake Gibson is out so Slade shifts to 6 & Kaiafa to 7.
-
Lol Aso drops the kickoff under zero pressure.
-
Waikato 5 nil.
Ive seen some bad Auckland teams but this Nick White vintage last year and this year are very hard to watch.
-
Trainor's penalty attempt hits the post. Good follow up from Auckland - Tuipulotu powers over. Auckland 7 -5.
-
Backline looks better with Faiane taking it flat.
-
God damn it.

I've seen high school teams that are better coached than the Nick White teams
Which is just sad -
Milo Harris is making errors again - not great.
-
How fucking bad is Jordan Trainor? Jeez he looks woeful.
-
Waikato 10 Landsdowne playing well. Solid.
-
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.
-
Interesting choice by Auckland...their prop goes off and they decide to take a scrum....
-
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.
-
Geez we love putting ourselves under pressure.
-
Great turnover Milo Harris.
Wiseguy Faiane with his 2nd woeful pass on his own line.
-
@KiwiMurph Wiseguy needs to stop panicing inside the 22, otherwise he looks alright out there.
-
@African-Monkey Agreed. Could also do with mixing up his kickoffs.
-
Yeah, Faiane is good on attack, but needs to learn to clear it in his 22!
-
Auckland left winger Manu has been solid - a lot different to his back 3 team mates!
-
Trainor with another error - cripes
-
@KiwiMurph Got that right. Aso looks disinterested at this level and Trainor has delivered nothing but rubbish so far.
-
Tamura-Paki is the best we can do as reserve loosehead?
-
Better play by Milo Harris.
-
@Tim Yep as much shit as we give Sam Prattley, he's still far better than anything below him (sadly).
-
@African-Monkey one scrum aside this young bloke has done ok.
Wiseguy pop gun kick.
-
Eklund has improved a lot. Throwing in particular.
-
@KiwiMurph Two weak carries from the prop so far.
-
Nice work from Sam Slade.
Maybe two loose forward positions left at the Blues. Contenders are Manehera, Slade, and Taramai? Number Eight cover is probably the most important.
-
@KiwiMurph Not too bad for a 19 year old.
-
Milo Harris needs to use his box kick more as he has a good one. Wiseguy is struggling big time clearing the ball.
