Gee that's poor.

Ball movement was a lot better in this game than any other game, but just too many mental errors and handling errors.

I hope we persist with Milo-Harris as the starter ahead of Hickey. He should only get better with more rugby, as this is basically his first year of rugby in 3 years.

Wiseguy had a rough debut game, but the things he did wrong are correctable. I was surprised they put him as the starter, as he's missed quite a bit of rugby this year and was partially with the U19s. It was strange decision by White to not let Wiseguy ease into it off the bench, and let Mausia start, because he's been with the team the whole time.

Line-out was surprisingly good despite no Scrafton and Eklund throwing.

Anyone know where Lindenmuth is? He wasn't named in any of the Auckland squads.

Looks like it's fixed now.

I love how they've still got "Official home of the Investec Super Rugby competition" in the page title an entire year (and major sponsor change) after I first noticed it. An even sloppier effort than last night's game.

@Tim He was with the Colts, but he got injured in training and is out for the season.

@Dice Thanks dude.

@Unco

I took a screenshot at the time.

@Bovidae someone posted after week 1, Northland had a negative points diff, but still had a win recorded against their name.

[Stockcar86]

I emailed NZRFU at the end of week 1, telling them off all the errors I spotted, but have heard nothing back. Nobody listens to me, I might as well be Stephen Kearney

So I've just been to QBE Stadium (Albany) and there is more seating behind the goalposts that there was for the RWC.

Are you all saying that this isn't in anticipation of Auckland's visit this weekend?

TBF even though the All Whites were out practicing in the sun I doubt the seating is for the Solomon Islands match either

Can't have been 500 hundred there?

Is that the politicians way of saying fifty thousand?

[Bovidae]

Creative accounting.

I doubt it will have anything to do with the All Blacks up coming test either.
