Auckland v Manawatu
-
Really pleasing to see Che Clark show consistency. Backed up last week with another big effort.
Simpson has a long way to go but there are aspects of his game which are really exciting - he has a genuine big boot and looks to have a good rugby brain to go with good hands.

Doesn't seem to get rattled when things go wrong too
Norrie looked promising at fullback. He took some low percentage options early but got better and better.
Good to see Taele get back in form after having a rough few weeks

Manawatu have a great backline (not you Laumape, thanks for the try). Their halfback in particular has great mongrel.
I expect the centre, Kyle Brown, to get a SR contract. He makes some good decisions
Conditions were tough in this game. Auckland played into the strong wind and had the dipping sun in their face. Manawatu had to put up with that in the second half
Some very good goalkicking from Taele given the conditions
