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

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

              @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.

                Nah, great rule because you made the scrums go uncontested. Otherwise if you are getting done in the scrums you take off both hookers and get a huge advantage.

                    @stargazer Yeah, but the rule has to be this way cause the officials can't tell if it's because of injury or "injury".

                        Yes but history tells us that if rules can be exploited, they will be. It's like with Pocock and the quick conversion means you can't go to the TMO.

                          Anyway, for those without tv coverage. Auckland has scored and it's now 40 - 33 to Acukland with 5 and a half minutes to go.

                            Immaterial. You can fake injuries.

                              Ioane - three players had to take him down, which set up the defensive miss match.

                              Very sharp from Fukofuka, great execution from Nanai.

                                    Great try.

                                    Canterbury got their extra time try because of uncontested scrums, so yeah 14 is right imo

                                    Ooh three more points AKL?
