Geez that was too easy Akira looks slow and unfit

When he ran out of the tunnel at the start of the game my immediate thought was “he looks a little heavier”.

I never thought Auckland could win, but I did think they would offer a bit more resistance. A few interesting weeks coming up for them.

Yeah I agree Auckland look on the decline
I was expecting a closer contest

Another great night at Trafalgar Park!

And with that victory, I believe, we've now beaten every other NPC team the last time we played them. Have to go back a few years to find a result against BoP - they've been dodging us in our prime!

We should get some sort of shield for this - I think I'll call it the Grand Slam Shield!

Much better from the Mako - Mitch Hunt is quite important and Makalio is also very handy.

Freddie is ramping it up for the defending champions....

...mud on your face
You big disgrace
Waving your banner all over the place.
We will, We will rock you!

Sing it!!!

Ah well, it was a great run last year, with one of the best finals yuo'll ever see. Tonight, not so great

Well done Ta$man, can't see anyone stopping you this year

Knock out games - it can easily go horribly wrong!

[SammyC]

Has anyone mentioned how shit Akira Ioane was?

[Chris B.]

@SammyC Probably David Havili after that first half run.

Hope he gets the right people around him to get him back on the right path - huge talent - and maybe someone who's been given a bit too much stick and not enough carrot!

[KiwiMurph]

@Chris-B huge is definitely right....

You spelled pie wrong. Definitely not enough carrot.

[African Monkey]

@SammyC Yeah, he looks disinterested and extremely unfit which is a shame. Hope he can get fit in time for the SR season.

Yes he was very bad. He's put on some weight hasn't he. I couldn;t believe how easily Havili ran around him in that first half. Ha two players share the same non-AB selection disappointment but couldn't be more different in their attitude.
