Premiership Final - Auckland v Tasman (Free entry)

[taniwharugby]

not straights, forward passes and 9s at the back of rucks with both hands on the ball have been big bug bears of mine this season.

Ta$man are much better off with O'Malley than Fonotia.

Genuine question - do you think that is a “dangerous” tackle?

You go in with your head in high like that it’s only going to be a bad outcome.

I was wondering the same thing. I guess because it is head on head, its clearly accidental?

[Toddy]

@ACT-Crusader I was wondering this too. I thought they were trying to rid the game of those high front on tackles.

[gt12]

Is Jones still on? How is he not getting a head check?

Obvious red card!

Something to discuss later....

Rubbish restart from Auckland.

Why kick it to Havili?

[gt12]

The line out has gone to pieces.

Yeah. And Havili kicks it back with some interest.

Poor pass but right play by Ta$man.

Scrafton is a bit shit

Oh yes.

[gt12]

These little grubber kicks would be a good addition to the AB game plan, I think their HB is often in the line, so there should be space there.

[Higgins]

@Yeetyaah But not shit enough to lose his starting spot at the Hurricanes to IWL. Way to go Jason Holland!

[KiwiMurph]

Plummer bitching at the ref instead of cleaning out.

Looks to be at least a yellow for head contact and I can't see any mitigating factors so could have been a red

[taniwharugby]

I reckon TJP must be the only NZ 9 that isnt in form this year.

Smith, Fakatava, Nock, Christie, Ruru, Hall plus plenty of M10 only players too.

[KiwiMurph]

Jones giving away some dumb penalties.

[Steven Harris]

@KiwiMurph exactly, it’s like kicking to Rayasi 🤦‍♂️

[ACT Crusader]

Christie is way too slow tonight. Too much watching.
