Auckland vs. North Harbour - The Battle of the Bridge
- 
							
							
							
							
Can't say I'm overly impressed with Dillon Hunt. Looks journeyman level at best.

All that last period of play that let Harbour back in was from a chip and chase play from Ruru..50/50 play in my book..and then finished up with a 3 x penalties..

We're far better than these guys but we keep letting them in it with poor discipline which has been a problem all year.

To me that’s advantage,player had an opportunity to pass..

Really good opening 8m for Abel and Ruru

People aren't actually serious about Bryn Hall being an AB contender right?

Faiane should have pinned his ears back,even he got tackled,Trainor was right on shoulder

@canes4life why should Evans be picked ahead of a specialist 7?
 - 
							
							
							
							
@canes4life I like Evans too but I'd pick Papali'i no bias intended. He's a star and is only gonna get better. Having said that, I wouldn't be upset if Evans got a cap somewhere. He's a solid operator.

at a collapsed maul, how long does the ref have to give for the team to clear it?
SOme refs give them a few seconds, some, as soon as it collapses, they blow it up regardless if the 9 is digging for it.

They probably need two, and I’d be tempted to take Evans as a potential bench option. Can do the Ardie role covering 7/8 if required (although Papalii gets the bench spot in my team).
