Auckland vs. Southland (we might win this one)

Auckland lineout is embarrassing level terrible

@Stargazer said in Auckland vs. Southland (we might win this one):

@KiwiMurph No, not at all. Southland is the weakest team in the competition.

This Auckland team is absolute garbage and has conceded 100 points in the last 2 weeks. It's hardly surprising they conceded a try.

[Tim]

Worst lineout I've seen.

[Stargazer]

That was awesome! Great break from Gibson and Aso dots down in the corner.

[KiwiMurph]

@Stargazer Amazing what happens when you win a lineout.

There's that linking game people want from Gibson. Kaino with some nice touches.

[Tim]

Good bit of pace from Gibson.

[Stargazer]

Wow, great answer from Howley. 14-12 Southland

[Tim]

Good work from Tuipulotu to get into position in support, but his hands let him down again.

[KiwiMurph]

If that doesn't sum up Auckland's season....

[Higgins]

How many points is this wind worth?

[KiwiMurph]

Elkington MacDonald loves a terrible grubber.

[KiwiMurph]

Dalton Papalii on for Auckland

[Stargazer]

Thanks Auckland, for keeping Southland at the bottom of the Championship.

Thanks Auckland, for keeping Southland at the bottom of the Championship.

and for making hard work of it.

[African Monkey]

Wins a win I suppose. We'll do well to win another.

[KiwiMurph]

The big names played well for Auckland I thought (as they should against Southland who looked a bit toothless).

[Dice]

With how our season has gone, I'll take a bonus point win in those conditions any day.

[African Monkey]

@Dice Pretty much haha. Have to win against Otago and BOP if we wanna stay in the division as I can't see us getting up away at Ta$man and against Canterbury in the final round. Would help if Counties keep losing haha.

[Chris B.]

@African-Monkey Any of Waikato, Auckland, Ta$man or Counties could be for the drop this year.

I'm inclined to think it might be a good thing for Auckland to drop. Maybe they need to hit rock-bottom to have the conversations and interventions that need to occur!

[Number 10]

Southland now 0-5, and the only province without a win.

Last year they had Jimmy Cowan playing for them.

I presume he has retired?
