Auckland v Tasman
-
Top of the table clash - let's bench the best performing player.
-
Risky move having Papali'i and Fukofuka on the bench.
We're facing the best team in the comp and coming off a 8 day break, I would've just went with our best 15.

..and another long gap before the next game

That’s a great backline. Better than most super teams

That's a bit of hyperbole don't you think? Which of the 'most Super teams' do you think that backline is better than?
-
With Auckland putting Papali'i on the bench i'm pleased Ta$man aren't starting Makalio and Aumua.
-
@nepia sorry grammar police. Crusaders and hurricanes are definitely stronger, but not too many more.

Nothing to do with grammar, there's no way that backline is better than most of the Super backlines.
Reserve (R) Super Rugby (SR) at 9, R SR at 10, 12 who is a better SR 15, barely R SR at 13, barely SR R at 14, guy whose been injured all year.
-
@nepia reds , rebels , brumbies , sunwolves, bulls , sharks. That’s most isn’t it
-
@chchfanatic 6 out of 15....most....
-
You can add the Lions and the Blues to that list.

You should be embarrassed 😳
-
@shark embarrassed really. I was being nice to the likes of the highlanders , chiefs , Waratahs , whatever the 4th SA team is. What I was trying to say is it’s a pretty good backline that wouldn’t look out of place in super rugby. This is a anonymous forum so not sure I would ever get embarrassed about anything I say. Bit of fun really.
-
Some good, aggressive defence from both sides in this game.
-
Probably the most physical performance from Auckland or the Blues in years.
-
Wow, that was an awesome try from Ta$man. Great break from Christie.
-
And another great try. Pat T, welcome back.
-
Oooopsssssss
-
Turner's right, Brown should have gone there. Oh dear Harry Plummer haha.
-
@african-monkey Makes up for his shit call on the ruck that led to the Auckland try!
-
Wow, Pat T in again.
-
@chris-b Hah!
Patty T playing like a man posessed.
-
Stoked for big Pat T, but bloody hell how can a tackeld bloke stand up and run with the ball.
PET PEEVE.
I feel old and grumpy, but stoked with the way Auckland are playing physical footy
-
@stargazer He's looking powerful tonight.
-
Another oooooopsss. A bit more expensive than Plummer's.
-
Mitch Hunt what have you done! Must have felt guilty for leaving Auckland all those years ago
-
Great kick! Love it
-
My damned feed keeps cutting out. So annoying.
-
Auckland deservedly leading, but the score is flattering them a bit.
-
Something I haven't noticed before - has Jordan a problem with positioning? He was nowhere for big T's try and he has been absent for a couple of Auckland chips.
-
@stargazer Not really. We've dominated most of the game so far. i expect Ta$man to come back strong however.
-
@african-monkey That last try made it flattering. It was the result of a silly mistake from Ta$man.

Christ, we'll take it after the last few years
-
Lol, hattrick Pat T. Awesome.
-
What do you guys think of Olmsted so far?
