Auckland vs. North Harbour - The Battle of the Bridge
- 
							
							
							
							
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).

@kiwimurph No workrate though......
 - 
							
							
							
							
@kiwimurph yep, a specialist 7 is the one they are looking to replace, why replace him with a utility?
 - 
							
							
							
							
@kiwimurph Because he is a better 7 than Hunt when he plays in that position.
 - 
							
							
							
							
@canes4life Forget Hunt, we want Papali'i.
 - 
							
							
							
							
Papalii is Hansen’s man..I would not be looking at anyone else if you are looking for a specialist 7
