Premiership Final - Auckland v Tasman (Free entry)
-
That's our ball, Nick!
-
Good scrum win for the home team ..
-
The ref just gave Angus a lecture about players going for the ball in rucks when they don't have a real chance - very next ruck the Ginga for the Invitational XV does that exact same thing and he lets it go.
-
Fonotia is a moron haha.

Fell for the bait, not that it made much of a difference.
-
were a couple forward in that passage
-
How is that not a HIA for Tele'a?
-
@KiwiMurph was about to post this. There's something weird about these protocols.
-
The hot and cold of Christie in one passage.
-
Classic finals match play so far. A tad boring imo. Possibly coz I'm just waiting for the ABs later.
-
Lester Faingaanuku is an absolute beast with ball in hand ,always makes ground
-
Nice kick!
-
Hooray a tackler penalised for not releasing ball carrier.
That call has been in hiding the whole season....
-
Lam has been pretty poor so far.
-
I think they need to look at players hitting rucks that are clearly lost, seen plenty of guys charging in from 5m or so hitting one of the pillars, despite the fact the ball is well and truly lost, often when repelled, they re-load and try again...an injury waiting to happen.
-
Orc’s defensive organisation is very good.
-
Three penalties in row should be a yellow.
-
@Toddy yeah dont always need a warning, seems sometimes team wait for the warning to stop infringing.
-
Here comes the card.
Smart from Ta$man.
-
Go the scrum?
-
Big end to the half. Ta$man in the box seat now going into half time.
-
@ACT-Crusader yeah odd to go for the lineout
-
Try and Angus in the bin to start the second half.

Thought it was an opportunity to get an Auckland loose forward off the field.
-
TJ excitement levels suddenly go up.. funny that....

Mute is your friend.
-
Good stuff!
That was a great kick by Sullivan, but we've dominated territory and possession in this half and deserve to be ahead.
Probably by more.
Much better effort than last time we were in Auckland.
-
Being here at the ground , the guy who is constantly talking to his forwards geeing them up Hugh Renton , whenever there is a break , he pulls all the forwards in ..concern for Auckland is the amount of defence they have had to endure..it make take some individual brilliance from a Rayasi to break this game open..
-
Leicester has been the most dangerous back on the field by a country mile.
-
I think teams should start contesting those 5m line outs in defence far more often ... the 5m maul seems to be increasingly hard to stop. So they as well take a chance at stealing the ball, and make the attacking line out and make hooker sweat a bit rather than having a free throw...

Wish Ardie had his size.
-
@KiwiMurph as I said the man is a beast with ball in hand , takes about 3 to pull him down..very absorbing final thus far ..
-
@ACT-Crusader Even at the ground it was obvious. They stopped reffing it after SRA.

Has Ta$man had the wind in the first half?
Rayasi has barely touched the ball, which is all good from my perspective!!!
-
I'm not sure about some of the scrum penalties in this game. If a hooker or prop stands up it should be a reset. even if you are going forward.
-
@Chris-B Ta$man will have an advantage of the wind in the 2nd half ..although it seems have died down from when I first arrived ..
-
That's a clear try.
-
At first glance a couple of early cover defenders could have worked harder there, but it looks like the backs got there in time to get him into touch.
