Auckland v Wellington

[Kirwan]

Don’t all halfbacks? Plummer needs these kicks

[KiwiMurph]

Gee Kirifi is a good tackler for a smaller man - great technique.

[nzzp]

that's massive for us - back in teh game now

[Kirwan]

Sotutu and Clarke looking flat today.

Hah I was just going to say exactly that

[African Monkey]

@Kirwan Yeah, Ruru especially though haha.

Damn it, Clarke was in a bit of space there. Now a challenge for our defence at scrum time.

[African Monkey]

@Kirwan Yes they are.

Roane looking electric though. Whetton standing out too.

Edit - and Apisai.

[Kirwan]

Unbelievable. I was just thinking I was happy only to be down 8 after that awful 40.

[African Monkey]

My god our defence is horrendous today.

[nzzp]

unbelievable. That sums up our day nicely - dominant in some areas, but asleep on defence.

[Tim]

Shit defence.

[Kirwan]

Coaches are going to tear them a new arsehole.

[Bones]

Panic defence. A break is made and eeeeveryone runs in and out of position.

[KiwiMurph]

Remember when the defence was the backbone of the Auckland team 2 years ago.

Seems a long time ago now.

[African Monkey]

That was a disgraceful half. Reminds me of the efforts of 2016-2017.

[African Monkey]

@KiwiMurph Defence? What's that?

[Kirwan]

Be interesting to see if the coaches can get the team to adjust. Wellington are playing great.

[Tim]

Conceding 5 tries in a half. Come on.
