Auckland vs Taranaki

Tim

Faiane justifying his Blues contract today.

Dice

Kaino, Tuipulotu and Seu have been very good. Faiane's been the best of the backs.

KiwiMurph

@Tim except for gifting Naki a try

KiwiMurph

Halafii has been excellent for Naki

KiwiMurph

Halafii with the turnover - gee he is impressive.

KiwiMurph

Auckland are starting to tire. Think it's all over for them.

Dice

Hickey goes the wrong way too often.

KiwiMurph

@Dice he hasn't had much help from his 10 today (and I'm no Hickey fan).

KiwiMurph

Another error from Trainor

Tamanivalu looking a long way from ever being an All Black again

Ngatai - what a pass

KiwiMurph

Sensational run away try Taranaki - class from Ngatai.

Dice

Another gift try to Taranaki from a poor pass.

Dice

Nisbett can't say half the names of our team.

Nepia

Nisbett can't say half the names of our team.

He can't say half the names of most teams ....

This has been another enjoyable game as a neutral to watch.

Dice

Nice kick there by Faiane. Aso scores.

I'd rather Faiane was back-up 10 than Fosita. Fosita doesn't even look close to being a 10.

KiwiMurph

@Dice At least Perofeta has been good (from a Blues POV)

KiwiMurph

Trainor lol when the game is over makes a great play.

Dice

With my calculations, that pass should be worth exactly 17 points

Just caught up with this one. Entertaining game but boy that Orcs side are frustrating to watch.

Defence and concentration seem to be a real issue for the Orcs. They've shipped some points this season.

That last minute pass by Trainor to Aso was sweet as.
