Tasman v Auckland

[gt12]

@nzzp said in Ta$man v Auckland:

Whatever happens from here, Auckland are showing quality all over teh park. Good set piece, well coached, decent backline, strong defence and ruck work - We may not be up by much, but we have all the attributes to go deep into this comp.

I like the look of the Auckland 8 as well. At 19, he's got a future.

He might need to come south to get a chance at the next level.

[KiwiMurph]

Rayasi poor decision there.

This is some sort of jinx. Again.

fair cop.

But the attributes are there. And we did win last week even after my jinx.

[nzzp]

Is there wind? Looked like Ruru had some assistance

[KiwiMurph]

Damn Ekuasi off.

[nzzp]

fair play to the ref. He's been clear and decisive, and not too whistle heavy.

injury, or managing workload?

[KiwiMurph]

There's the weekly dumb Scrafton penalty

[gt12]

Given that they are stacked with ABs, potential ABs, and at least Super talent, the Ta$man forwards aren’t really imposing themselves much.

[number9]

Rayasi's kicking is terrible.

Workload I think. He came off at a similar time last week.

WRK is just too slight

[nzzp]

two misses from Plummer could be costly.

[KiwiMurph]

Ta$man has flicked the switch here.

[Tim]

Ripped in the tackle?

[KiwiMurph]

@tim always playing with fire with those.

[nzzp]

that Ta$man cleanout by PPP looked very very fast with not much arms.

[KiwiMurph]

Get the sense Ta$man's bench might make the difference

[number9]

Auckland's tactical kicking has turned to shit in the second half.

[KiwiMurph]

@number9 so has their attack.
