My chat with Rivez Reihana after Waikato training today about his first season in the Mitre 10 Cup
-
@DrivingMaul Have Waikato been training at Ruakura not Fred Jones/Beetham?
@Bovidae Yes because Beetham is being keptoff so it's perfect for the All Blacks when they come to play Tonga
-
looking forward to the double header today
-
3 clear knockons in that series of plays and the officials did not see any of them WTF
-
AJ Lam has had a shocking start.
-
We look a bit flat out there. Think we need to take some of those penalties and look to crawl our way back into the game.
-
WTF take the points!
-
This Auckland team ain't a patch on last year's team.
Crazy that Stratton has not been playing Super.
@KiwiMurph Yeah our backline is horribly unbalanced. Lemalu is also a massive loss in our tight 5.
-
Our handling has also been awful so far.
