@African-Monkey said in Auckland v Ta$man:
Why does Ta$man get guys released from the ABs to play but no-one else?
Because they will never be allowed a shield challenge?

Akira Ioane is a critical piece to the All Blacks pre-match routine 😎

@KiwiMurph Not sure I'd pick Kieron as my weakest link - but, it's interesting that they've seemingly preferred him to Fetuli Paea. Last year Fetuli was awesome coming off the bench, but he doesn't seem to have reproduced that form so far as a starter.
I guess we'll see how KF has come back from his stint overseas.
Forward pack looks significantly better with Lomax back at tighthead.
Interesting that they're only giving Sevu a run from the bench - continuity or instructions from above?
Faingaanuku could’ve played at centre with either Paea or Reece starting on the wing. My views on Fonotia are well traversed on here

incoming @Chris-B rant about Joe Moody/Hansen 2018 Mitre 10 Cup semi
A travesty of the highest order!
Edit: I warned y'all that karma would come back to bite those cheating keyhunts on the arse!

@Chris-B Hansen tried to kneecap Auckland that year too - took Papalii out of the semis/final for ABs duty (despite not being picked in the ABs matchday 23) - nearly worked too but a final for the ages delivered justice in the end!

@KiwiMurph We could have added a title and another seven wins to our unbeaten streak but for that piece of "divine intervention".

A lot of fake news on the Fern today...

@Chris-B I think the best part of that match was watching most of the Auckland team jump on David Havili after the best 6/8 in the country Akira Ioane scored the most wonderful solo try to seal the game
-
@ACT-Crusader Showing his versatility which is good to see......
-
@African-Monkey I mainly remember fucking Patrick Tuipolotu playing like he better fucking play on Sunday!
And the game turning on Finlay Christie getting penalized - the last time in living memory that any halfback was penalized - for not quickly using it when he was told to!

He’ll be running water soon.
I guess Akira is a pre game hammy away from being in the 23.

@ACT-Crusader Akira playing a test? Lol don't be silly......
