Auckland v Wellington

[Canes4life]

That was beautiful by Wellington. Clarke in the corner.

Auckland seem to not have a defence.

Numia off after being on limited mins.

I still don’t see why our best distributing centre is playing on the wing.

Your backline seem to doing well enough.

[Canes4life]

@antipodean haven’t noticed Julian Savea. But yeah they are going well. Still would rather our best 12 plays 12.

[Nepia]

Who the fudge is the defence coach for the Blues? Their backs are waving players through like they're all Aaron Mauger clones.

[Canes4life]

Way too easy for Wellington.

[Bones]

That looks like offside to me. Ball bounced off Lauaki and PUJ picked it up again.

It didn’t look right did it. I expected the ref to blow his whistle.

[Bones]

Lakai had some decent pass on that first try.

[Bovidae]

Kirifi is a star at this level.

[Canes4life]

JGB back to his usuals ways.

[SouthernMann]

That is shithouse from Karifi and Lakai.

[Canes4life]

Jeez that tackle attempt from Garden Bachop was horrible.

I think you mean Garden-Bachop and Kirifi.

Nah. The loosies need to take some ownership of that area. JGP should not be ledlft to his own to manage a no8 taking it from rhe back.

Hes been poor so far thsi half

[Canes4life]

@SouthernMann seeing that again that was Kirifi’s fault. That was his man.

What was he even doing? Just stood up and looked around. Ioane ran right by him.

Kirifi had the initial job and Lakai's role was to follow and wrap the man. There is no way a no8 should be able ro wander past an openside and no8 off the back.

[Canes4life]

@SouthernMann nah Lakai couldn’t do much there. The damage was already done because Kirifi didn’t do his job.

[Canes4life]

Jeez good tackle by Lakai on Lam. Auckland were away there.

[SouthernMann]

@Canes4life in the right situation Kirifi makes the initial hit and Lakai wraps over the top after that impact. It was a defensive process for the loosies. Shouldn't expext that from a team coached by an openside flanker.
