NPC Final - Auckland vs Canterbury (free entry)

Wahoo extra time, great handling in the wet vs awesome discipline on defence. How many phases? Thirty ish?

So AKL need a draw to win!

[Stargazer]

@tim I have, but usually those posts disappear amidst the other posts from happy Auckland fans, so you haven't noticed.

[Stargazer]

Uncontested scrums because Canterbury has lost both hookers to injury.

[Stargazer]

Try Tom Sanders for Canterbury.

[Machpants]

, rules chaos!

Also down to 14 as no subs available.

Scrap that, I'm wrong there is a sub on.

[Stargazer]

Converted. 33 - 26 Canterbury.

[Tim]

Shit play from Sotutu and Ioane. Accuracy lacking.

[Tim]

Might be an idea to get Ruru on for leadership.

Really? I thought if you make it go uncontested you have to lose a player?

[Yeetyaah]

Someone get Jordan Trainor a new pair of boots.

[Stargazer]

Try Sosene-Faegai! Close to the posts, so that should be converted. First half of extra time over.

[Stargazer]

33 all.

@hydro11 They're still at 14. It was a substitution for another player.

[Tim]

Damn, you couldn't get a tighter game!

[No Quarter]

Epic game

[Machpants]

This is so good!

@anonymous Stupid rule, btw. Should be allowed to have 15 players on the park.

Nonsense. If you elect to go uncontested scrums, you should lose a player.

[Stargazer]

@antipodean They didn't elect it. They lost two hookers to injury and then the rules say uncontested scrums, because there isn't a hooker on the field. It wasn't a tactical decision.
