Wellington v Auckland

Duluth

Big game for Gordon. He seems to be rated inside the Blues system but it's been difficult for him to get game time so far

With Tele'a due back soon he needs a performance to stay in the 23

Duluth

Harford is sick

Cohen Norrie replaces him on the bench

Do Auckland even employ a defence coach?

Duluth

Shitty conditions. Auckland still playing with load of width. Knock on. Try Wellington.

KiwiMurph

Nice piece of defence by Caleb Clarke

KiwiMurph

Not even 10 minutes in and Auckland look set for another hiding

Duluth

Good carry by Clark

KiwiMurph

Haha great pace Numia

Auckland's phase defence is dogshit

So disorganised. It reminds me of the Nick White season

KiwiMurph

Better play by Auckland forwards there

Duluth

That works in this weather

Duluth

Much more intelligent over the last few minutes

KiwiMurph

Ouch Aumua bad head knock

He should be off the field for a HIA

KiwiMurph

Lam way too many errors this NPC - has done some good things in this game but really has been error prone

Duluth

His form has dropped a lot. A fit Tele'a would be useful

KiwiMurph

Lakai playing well at 7. Good physicality at the breakdown

Mattasaurus

This is the type of weather I want for the Stags in the next game

KiwiMurph

Another error from Lam ruins a nice kick for Funaki and a nice chase by Caleb Clarke

Duluth

He should've listened however he was onside. It was a terrible call

Here's my shitty boomer style screenshot. Ball had already left the foot in this frame. Probably a metre onside when the ball was kicked

Duluth

Well it's obvious how Auckland should play in the second half. Do they get the right instructions during the break?
