QF - North Harbour v Auckland
-
Hodgeman said something to the ref in the first half and Williams targeted him for the rest of the game. Incredibly petty and very unprofessional.
Some of the calls were embarrassing.
Loved the tight work from Akira, really rolled his sleeves up and did the dirty work. Well taken try too.
Him and Patrick were making the advantage line with ease.
Scrum and lineout went great, 100 backline injuries messed up any fluency. Looking forward that 9 backing up Christie at the Blues next year.

Was mainly watching the Breakers so didn’t see what was said. I saw a couple of penalties against Hodgeman in the second half that seemed fairly straightforward calls.

Will be interesting to see how much gametime he gets with Nock re-signing.

How do you have an former AB 8 on the coaching staff and a completely dominant scrum and your 8 struggles off the back of the scrum?
Push seems someone who look busy all the time but seems pretty ineffective with what he does.
If Auckland can get the connection between 8-10 going better they could keep winning.

Not a game to watch twice, but in case you missed it - a full replay -

There was a string of super pedantic calls against him. The one that sticks out is him being on his feet leaning on a ruck and was called for losing his feet. That law seemed to disappear when Harbour players were launching like missiles into rucks later in the game not even trying to stay on their feet.
Ref was also talking to Alex about “almost” penalties. He had a boner for him most of the game.

He’s way better than Nock IMO. Certainly more consistent and a better kicking game.
Nock has had a million chances, time to move on.

@Tim Hickey 10, Plummer 12
, Lam 13, RTS 14"Late change for Auckland with Hickey at 10"
More like
"Team is as @Nogusta suggested 4 days ago".
Yea strange why they didn't just list them with their actual playing numbers the last couple of games?
