@Duluth said in Ta$man v Auckland (RS):

Great distance on his kicks

Zarn has a slow windup. Why he's not a 10.

[Duluth]

Going to be a tough watch. Loads of errors from both sides

[Duluth]

Christie a pest on defence

ooof just saw the replay. Ta$man player on the Auckland side ... I get it, I don't lov it

[Duluth]

Lineout was formed?

[Duluth]

Just checked, there was two Ta$man players there

[nzzp]

Auckland doing well getting back on their feet.

We're going to lose, but we should make a game of htis

[Duluth]

12-10 Ta$man at HT

Auckland had the wind but not much ball

[Chris B.]

Into the sheds.

It's not actually raining that hard, but it's been drizzling all day - and there's a decent breeze blowing that will help us in the second half - when we're playing towards our favoured Post Office end.

Think we looked the better team in that half. Poor effort from QuinMac on Zarn probably kept the Auks closer than they should be.

Willi's cross kick for Taumoefolau wasn't a good option either.

Lineout surviving well and scrum going OK.

Fin Christie having a whale of a game so far.

[Duluth]

Tele’a should be in the midfield

[Duluth]

4mins for the replacement halfback.. how can we find out if he’s any good if he keeps getting token minutes

[Grooter]

Ta$man retain for another few days at least. Christie, Shalfoon, Havili & Tavatavanawai influential

[Duluth]

Not much ball in the first half and even less in the second half.

A lot of self inflicted stuff... a very disorganised side apart from defence. Pressure must be building on McGrath/Bates

[Chris B.]

@Grooter Yeah - if we were going to win that one, I thought those four plus Sione Havili needed to have big games - I think Sione did as well.

Actually, pretty much everyone for Ta$man played well. Looked well drilled.

I've said a couple of times this year how well Willie Havili is playing - really has a nice left boot on him. A bit of a loss for NZ and the Crusaders in particular.
