Tasman v Auckland

[Duluth]

Clark looked good again

Gibson and Choat are playing well but I’d prefer more size at 6. They should compete for the 7 jersey. Akira can play at 6 or 8 depending on if you want to play Ekuasi or Clark

Ioane top tackler 15 made, 1 miss

Bloody TJ calling it with nearly 10 minutes to go. I can remember Auckland pipping Otago (who hadn't beaten them since the last ice age), by scoring two tries in last 90 seconds (I think Joe Rok had quite a lot to do with it).

So a rule of thumb - give the opposition 14 points in the last 90 seconds and then decide whether the game is over!

Thought the same thing after Auckland pulled a rabbit out of a hat last week
Amua obviously the man of the match but I thought both Hicks and Robinson were very good

I was happy to be able to FF through stoppages in this game as the TJ/Hames show becomes too much.
