Auckland v Manawatu
-
@Steven-Harris Well they have a massive chance here.
-
@Stargazer It wasn't that bad.
Manawatu must score here. Auckland surely on a last warning with all the penalties they've given away.
-
McKenzie with a length of the field intercept. A massive shame for Manawatu. Why the hell did they not go for the lineout when they got the penalty?
-
Brilliant try Turbos..wow..!
-
Manawatu got away with that knock on, but have a huge chance here!
-
Manawatu win!
-
Haha good stuff! Well done Manawatu!
-
Unbelieveable from the Turbos ..a bunch of no names deal to a team stacked with Super Rugby players ..upset for the ages ..!
-
A few dodgy calls in that last 5mins. Auckland with so many soft penalties throughout didn’t deserve any luck

A few Auckland thoughts
-
how the fuck does the far touchie miss a clear knock on - wtf do touchies look at? Ridiculous
-
Abysmal auckland discipline - some of the dumbest penalties you will ever see
-
For all the good things Leni Apisai does he does equal part shit things - i wish he would fuck off to be honest. Get a young player in.
-
Peyton spencer looks good
-
-
Get up Manawatu. I hope the Canes sign up Vijoen and Nalaga on full time contracts after being on training squad contracts last year.

Don't shoot the messenger, but the radio commentators mentioned that it wasn't a knock on, but that one of the Auckland players played the ball on the ground. IIRC the signal of the ref corresponded with that, but not sure.

Good wake up call for Auckland tbh. Discipline was atrocious and they paid for it, and yes, that was a blatant knock on at the end, but Auckland were 2nd best from about 20 mins onwards and deserved to lose.
