Northland v Auckland preseason
-
The way these 2 teams are going about their business in the first half you would think there are points at stake
Auckland dominated Both field position and territory in the first 10 minutes and on the back of that pressure of a try from Sullivan was scored the next 20 minutes north and playing into a strong breeze held onto held onto the ball for long periods ,most of the guys to play super Rugby are all playing very well in both teams there was a yellow card to Corey Evans and that was on the back of repeated infringements .
Macilai scored a try after some good ball movement in the red zone and then Sione Tuipulotu scored from a quick tap close to the line which was converted by Plummer 12-5 Ak at halftime

@taniwharugby Rivez Reihana replaced Johnny Cooper after 25 minutes..looks superb
Ranger replaced by Hohaia at halftime -
Massive head clash between Tom and Zarn, both looked like they were out.
