@Steven-Harris he was also picked for Aussie A for the recent Pacific series. he's 22, 1m94, 100kg. He scored a try vs MP here at 4m 50secs.

Did the Auckland club competition start late? Most other provinces seem to have allowed their players to miss the early NPC pre-season games to play in the club finals but Auckland is doing the opposite and removing NPC players from club playoff games because of the timing.

@Tim especially when Wallace Sititi is playing for Marist today and has not featured at all in preseason games? I hope he isn't lured away. Also Sione Tuipulotu is yet to feature so i don't know if he is returning? Queenslander Connor Vest is also playing today at Lock. I understand them looking for Locks a bit more as we do struggle with Locking depth in Auckland.

@Bovidae Of likely Auckland squad members there are 7 Ponsonby players in the Auckland preseason game while 3 are playing the semi final for Ponies today (Joel Cobb, Terrell Peita and Hamdahn Tuipulotu). likewise GT have 3 playing for them and 3-4 for Auckland. Maybe they allowed the clubs to play up to 3 rep players each. Its annoying as a club supporter to be playing a semi final below strength.

@Daffy-Jaffy Some of those guys have missed much of the club season? I wonder if they are eligible for finals games?

@Daffy-Jaffy that's a great initiative

@Daffy-Jaffy Oh, looks like they changed it!

@Daffy-Jaffy said in Auckland Rugby 2022:
@Tim The Auckland rugby results page says it was Rifles that lost by default to Eden.
Still interested in why if anyone knows?
