Looks like Brodie McCalister.

Hope the second half is better, both teams are making this a hard watch
It's not a good look with so many Super players on the park, especially in that Canterbury pack, they've been horrible.

Gus Brown getting absolutely monstered at scrum time.
Yes, I was going to post this. A big step up from U20s.
Those first 35 mins were dire. Hauiti-Parapara is a handbrake.
-
2 of the competitions teams with arguably the biggest history and expectation and they are producing an absolute lemon of a game.
Both teams were poor last week to be fair but you expect a higher level of play when you consider how many full time professionals are out there.
-
There are some lazy defenders in that Auckland team.

Hard choice for Auckland player of the day:

This is one of the worst Auckland teams I've ever seen.
The positive is the young players. Simpson looked much better than Christian L.
I will say though - whilst I thought Taele did some fine things - I don't see how a player of his size is going to be the future star that some are predicting - he looks WAY too small for the midfield in the modern game.
