Tasman v Auckland

What can we expect from Cooper Roberts ? He was one of the standouts for the ABs U20. Standing outside Levi Aumua who doesn't make many passes is not a big gift for his debut.
It is not his debut he started Rd 4 v Norh Harbour at 13 outside Amua in that game as well.
He played well. -

@KiwiMurph Yeah - entertaining and pretty even game. Auckland started well and Ta$man started with some shit discipline.
Probably both teams playing better than expected.
Both teams with a bit of firepower on the bench.
Anyone's game at present.

Bah - I thought we had Coxon, Oudendryn and Matenga to come off the bench. But, we didn't - just Coxon.
Scrum continued under pressure and that was huge.
Too many penalties conceded.
Not sure it was a great strategy to field the youngsters in this game - I guess to win either the Shield or the NPC we would have to beat Canterbury. Can't really see either of those things hapeing, but you never know.

Surely gotta have a cap by years end...

Chuffed with that.
Auckland boys really dug in today.
Heck of a game from Che Clark. 142 running metres for a blindside flanker is outstanding.
All the loosies had good games. Clark was the best player on the field though
Oscar Cowley-Andrea is improving fast. With the injuries at prop Auckland is asking him to play a lot of minutes

Why not now?
Just get rid of one of the too many halfbacks we have. -

Good enough on attack. Needs to play more to tidy up some of his defence/decision making
EOYT makes sense
I have to admit, he looks a bit casual in his positioning on defense.
