You should be allowed to kick directly out on the full and have the lineout at the point where the ball xrosses the touchline. Would ve happy with that amendment to the laws.

I like that idea.

@booboo I could've been even funnier and pointed out you can do that too...from inside the 22.

Just watched this. Poor first 60 minutes from Auckland front rowers really set the scene. Vikena lacks finesse. Great effort from Harry Plummer and Patty T to keep them in it after halftime. Don't understand why Peita did not start - as the loosies were not a good unit.

A lot of the Wellington players are really flourishing. Thought JGB, Love and Blackwell were great throughout. Poor Kirifi must curse his handling, but had a busy match. I like what I see in Higgins! TJP was on fire. Aumua needs to work on his lineout work to get back in top ABs but his general play is great.

An enjoyable watch.

It would be embarrassing to lose after getting 26-0 lead…

Is there an aged well award? First time we hit 50 innit.

Fully deserved thrashing by Welly. Haven’t seen them play that focused and organised for a long time.

@booboo it would be a decent change and one that would encourage less resets of scrums after free kicks...as I said earlier, I'd like a change to only allow one reset, after which the free kick must be taken, hate watching teams pack down scrums playing for penalties, or PT and YC if in opposition 22.

@Bones

Ha you thought that was a serious prediction?

Fair point, tough gig stopping Welly charging through to a loss in the final.

@KiwiMurph the persistence with Hickey is unbelievable.

What useless ending to a poor season. Completely and utterly outplayed by Welly and I hope they haven't played their final. I'm rooting for them this week that they get up against Canterbury.

Are we rid of Ieremia for 2023?
