That Akira Ioane is a bit rubbish, can certainly see why he continues to be overlooked for the All Blacks...

Try to Akira after 1m.

29 seconds fella...

Haha.

Bit of a dangerous game for Auckland for this I think. A desperate Naki team with some big names.

Too lazy. His competition would have got it in 28.

Meh, record is 7. That's four times slower, what a slacker

[nzzp]

The ref's call on ripping the ball for a tackler is strictly correct, but frustrating. If knees hitting groudn is a tackle, enforce that shit for the 'held up' mauls, and the 'not held' standing up and running again.

[nzzp]

Also, Auckland is going to lose because Hometown is Hometown.

Crap. Papali'i missed his very first tackle this season. I was hoping he'd reach 100 before missing one.

[KiwiMurph]

Why would Ruru go left there. Weird decision. Rayasi is a talent.

[nzzp]

That's just shit. The Auckland tackler never released the player, but Jackson doesn't care? Weirdly random referee. I don't like watching his games much.

[KiwiMurph]

Yep Auckland are in trouble here.

This Naki side has come to play.

[Tim]

Perofeta has made a big difference, and Tamanivalu is fired up and playing very well.

Taranaki look a different team tonight.

[Stargazer]

@tim I always liked having Tamanivalu on the ABs fringes; a good player to have in case of injury. It's a pity he's leaving after the M10 Cup season.

[KiwiMurph]

Scoreline is flattering Auckland here. Taranaki are dominating.

Yeah. We seem to have the edge in the outside backs, making good metres, but getting beaten up everywhere else.

Hopefully Naki lack conditioning - Auckland look fit thisyear

[nzzp]

That is a peach of a kick option. Wow.

@nzzp Taranaki playing with a strong wind.

That conversion looked atrocious

Plummer just kicked an insane conversion. That shit was excellent.

Really stoked to see the boys get back into this. now need to channel our Mexted and ride the momentum

We're getting so many good results from short kicks this season.
