It seems, there is some confusion about the score?

@Stargazer 14-12 to HB is what one if the Orc fellas told me.

@ACT-Crusader Yeah, I see they have corrected it now on FB, too.

And I’m pretty sure it was the HB 1st 5 that took the conversion.

@ACT-Crusader Good, that's what I hoped.

26-14 Auckland overlap wide, Rayasi fended off the fullback easily. Rayasi another try, wayward pass off kick return, Rayasi regathers stays inside despite a couple of tacklers to score again in the corner.
-
@trooa Caleb Makene, or have one of the bench players come on in that position at half time?
-
Orcs dominating field position so far in the second half. HB a little loose with the ball and not making first up tackles.
-
Nice break from one of the HB backs (no number and short blonde hair).
However the number 8 who’s been camping on the wing didn’t run a good line in support.
-
-
HB lacking a bit of punch in the midfield.
@ACT-Crusader We're still missing the Bucktruck (Richard Buckman). :pensive_face:

FT Auckland dominated territory 2H, played with the wind much better than HB 1st half. McNicol made a nice break in 2H & 13 looked elusive on wing but definitely need some go forward in the midfield. Rayasi outstanding for Auckland.

@trooa @ACT-Crusader Thanks for the updates!

All good. Unfortunately I didn’t have names and numbers so was a little difficult. Only recognise a few players.
