Beehre got through a shitload of work

Peita got better and better as the game went on. Good to see him perform after a below par performance in an earlier game

Funaki had some good touches under pressure

Close to getting a vote were the reserve props and AJ

@Duluth I thought Plummer pulled the strings well and guided Auckland round, particularly the 2nd half, but yeah Beehre and Funaki had big games too

[Duluth]

Beehre has been very good since getting a chance (mostly because Vest forced his way out of the side)

There's a lesson there for Ieremia. We have talented youngsters in the squad who will perform if given the chance. They are definitely better than Aussie journeymen

[African Monkey]

Gave it to 3 benches, Hickey, Peita and Ta'avao.

Beehre and Lam were also very good.

[Duluth]

I see Auckland named Peita the man of the match. Hopefully he’s forced his way into the top side

[KiwiMurph]

Peita, Beehre, Taavao.

Funaki and AJ were good in the backs.
