Wellington v Auckland

[KiwiMurph]

A well deserved try by Caleb Clarke - he has worked hard

[canefan]

After dominating possession and territory for the first 15 or so minutes of the second half, mistakes crept into Auckland's game and Wellington were able to run up the score

[KiwiMurph]

So Taele's contribution has been to knock the ball on and give away a penalty

[canefan]

Shocking conditions in Porirua. I bet the players would prefer the superior draining pitch at the caketin on a day like this

[KiwiMurph]

Good skills by Tangitau

[Canes4life]

Would be pretty happy if Clarke takes Ioane’s spot next weekend. Has looked sharp.

[KiwiMurph]

A lack of micro skills there by Vai. He should get to his feet there not lie on the ground

[Canes4life]

lol who was the guy that tried to put a hit on the Bus? Defs came off second best there.

[mohikamo]

wow

3 auckland teams on the bottom; and not even one win!

[UpTheHarbs]

@mohikamo Well, we've got a Spoon Bowl between Counties and Harbour on Thursday night, where there will be a guaranteed first win for one of the Auckland provinces.

Dominant performance in the rain by the Wellington pack.

Hopefully we get no more injuries in the pack, we've just lost Shields for the season so can't really afford any further injuries. Lakai showed again why he's so influential to this side, definitely notice it when he isn't there. Plummer was also very good and I wouldn't mind him starting alongside Dearns for the Canes next year, seems to be maturing into a pretty decent player.

Was Numia OK?

Did not look good. Really struggled to walk off of the field. Looked like maybe a groin injury

And I thought he was close to the best player on the park. Scrummed well and then on both sides of the ball was really busy.

Apparently a hip flexor injury. Said in the post match interview that he’ll be fine but not sure what sort of recovery that is.

At least Auckland is winning something
