Counties vs Auckland
-
Clarke and Rayasi showing their class there. Great try to finish off.

-
If Wellington win tomorrow then the winner of next weeks match between Auckland and Wellington will go along way towards securing a playoff berth.

I wouldn't heap too much praise on Auckland. Definitely deserved winners, but ill-disciplined and average for most of the game.
Sure, but I was impressed by the defence and determination to turn the game around.
Conditions and a ref team only looking one way affected things greatly.

@Kirwan I don't think the ref looked one way. Auckland was clearly the worst offender. No big things, just a lot of little things. The cards were clearly for an accumulation of penalties; not for something bad.
The defence was solid, but a messy game. Last 5-10 minutes made difference.

@Duluth Nah give them an extra week.

That back three when Trainor gets back is going to be crazily good for Mitre 10 level.
Hopefully we stick to that starting half combination.
And obviously Dalton gets through a ton of work.
Just need to get another good lock from somewhere, that’s the big hole.

You should worry about Otago first. Apparently their reserve 15 is a gun
-
Man that 1st half was a horrible watch with mistakes galore and awful discipline from both sides /the ref having no control of things out there. Can't believe we managed to get 5 points out of that game as we were all over the place for most of it.
