Auckland v Manawatu

Dice

Fortunately, it looks like most of the rain has gone just in time for the game. It is a bit windy though.

Tim

Scrappy.

Tim

No arms. Hard to see point of contact.

Steven Harris

@Tim man that was seriously dumb from Paulo..hard enough trying to beat Auckland with 15 on 15..

Steven Harris

Being here at the park live , Funaki’s service is very rapid..

nzzp

I just heard a ref call penalty advantage over.

I am shocked people, shocked. Unbelivable.

Steven Harris

@nzzp should happen more often , especially if the play is not affected and the team who has the ball gets over the advantage line

Tim

Bit harsh that yellow.

Tim

These whistle fests are shite entertainment.

Tim

Hard to tell if dropped

Steven Harris

@Tim imagine being here ..lol..Turbos score a try with only 13 on the paddock ..I am missing something here..?

Tim

@Steven-Harris AJ Lam was in the midfield rather than on the wing.

nzzp

me oh my I enjoyed that maul, yes I did.

Also, Hickey got smashed

Tim

Also, Hickey got smashed

He did his best!

nzzp

@Tim full marks for bravery, not so much for execution

Tim

Ref not policing the release both ways.

Tim

Gains in Super Rugby of policing offside lost in NPC. Frustrating that reffing has changed in NPC.

Booth was held on the ground by Hickey earlier.

Tim

Rayasi bombed that.

Steven Harris

@Tim totally agree, he had numbers on the inside

Tim

Southland game ref would've blown four or five cards by now.
