Auckland vs. North Harbour - The Battle of the Bridge

[nzzp]

@kiwimurph said in Auckland vs. North Harbour - The Battle of the Bridge:

Auckland get some ball down the right end of the field and score.

Great to lead after having the ball for about three minutes out of twenty

[KiwiMurph]

Akira straight through Hunt and Auckland score again. Papali'i has started strongly.

[gt12]

Future AB 8 to future AB 7, try.

Hunt not doing himself any favors.

[Tim]

Auckland midfield really good today.

[Tim]

Stevenson has been good. Unfortunately Scotty Stevenson said at the start of the game that "his Super Rugby future is secure down the motorway".

[gt12]

@tim

Excellent.

[KiwiMurph]

Prattley is an idiot. But we knew that.

[KiwiMurph]

Cripes that was not good from Stevenson!

[Tim]

@kiwimurph Yep, followed my praise with a shocking play.

[African Monkey]

Can't say I'm overly impressed with Dillon Hunt. Looks journeyman level at best.

[KiwiMurph]

Abel gives away the penalty then misses the tackle. Not a great few minutes.

Yeah Hunt not having much impact - looks small out there.

[Steven Harris]

All that last period of play that let Harbour back in was from a chip and chase play from Ruru..50/50 play in my book..and then finished up with a 3 x penalties..

[gt12]

This should be the equivalent of a trial between Hunt and Papali’i

I know who I’d pick.

[KiwiMurph]

I've been impressed by Mafileo for Harbour. Harbour scrum going well and some nice charges.

@gt12 hunt has done it at super level and also excellent in mitre 10 cup. 1 mediocre game does not mean a lot in scale of things. But I think both hunt and popoali’i should be picked in all black squad

[African Monkey]

We're far better than these guys but we keep letting them in it with poor discipline which has been a problem all year.

[Steven Harris]

To me that’s advantage,player had an opportunity to pass..

[nzzp]

Forwards try for Auckland. I barred up at kicking for territory

[Steven Harris]

Really good opening 8m for Abel and Ruru

[African Monkey]

People aren't actually serious about Bryn Hall being an AB contender right?
