Southland v Auckland

[Duluth]

Aucklands rush defence is still a work in progress. Good chance we see it at the Blues next year with McGrath involved in both teams.

Good to see some variety in tactics. Most NZ sides play exactly the same

@Duluth Not sure how Gregory was able to go for the turnover there ...

take the 3 again boys

[Duluth]

It doesn’t feel like it but the missed tackles are 9-1 against Southland

Quite impressed with Southland so far. Looking organized in defence with Banks steering them around the field nicely so far.

@Duluth Hah really? Certainly no glaring misses.

[Duluth]

@African-Monkey

Yeah I think it’s lots of stepping the first man but being tackled by the second. Not many metres gained from them

[Grooter]

not the Aussie! 😔

Come on Stags.. De Groot is watching you all the way from SA

@FakatavaAllBlack who do you cheer for when Otago play Southland?

[KiwiMurph]

lovely kick Funaki

[Grooter]

@KiwiMurph Otago!

[Steven Harris]

Rayasi given his physical attributes and skill set has to be one of the biggest disappointments in terms of for filling his potential

[Grooter]

nice Marty , seems as though the steamers are going well on the other channel

[African Monkey]

Hmmm wouldn't say Southland are out of it yet. Banks is key with his kicking game.

Auckland dominating set piece so far, and Connor Vest is still one of the dumbest players going round.

@African-Monkey I can categorically tell you having covered AK club this year ,there’s a 2-3 better locks that would have been better options

[Steven Harris]

Something you don’t see every day ..probably a bomb threat

[Grooter]

ok ...

[African Monkey]

@Steven-Harris And its one of the reasons why we don't see many local players come through to super level when we see journeymen from other areas clog up spots in the side.
