SF Wellington v Auckland

@Duluth Canterbury in Chch?

Yes. I also think BOP has a reasonable chance

[Bovidae]

A good game to watch for a neutral fan. Some very strange decisions from Doleman at times. For example, Plumtree's neck-high tackle on Trainor chasing that kick, which resulted in a penalty to Wellington.

Neither Heem or Lam did much tonight, apart from missing tackles.

@KiwiMurph And some ATGs in their backline too haha.

Still remember Jonah's try down the wing from about 60 out, throwing Vunibaka off multiple times.

@Duluth Canterbury in Chch? As much as I would like to see it happen, Canterbury in a final especially at home are near impossible to topple.

Bro, we’ve got to get past Luke Skywalker, Obi Wan and Jar Jar Binks before there’s any talk of a final.

BOP are on fire and we barely stumbled over the line.

I think there was a call from the TJ and Doleman assumed the wrong team? Doesn’t explain why the TJ didn’t correct it

[African Monkey]

@kev Their scrum has improved massively, but at the same time got a massive touch up the first time they played.

And I said Canterbury in Chch because I was answering @Duluth when he said that he thinks Wellington will win whoever they play.

Fair call. Needs some polish though. Higgins and Lakai look like the best of the young crop to me.

So frustrating watching Aumua. Has it all but throws like a leper

He's been good apart from this match

54-19. Wellington have never got to 50 before vs Auckland. And the score was a fair reflection on the game

JGB had an excellent game. Best game I've seen him play. Numia had another VG game. If had played for Canterbury he would be in the AB 15

Other backs to impress for Wellington was Higgins, savea and Love. But all the backs were good.

Auckland were very impressive at times but defense was poor. Whereas it was a Wellington strength

[African Monkey]

@ACT-Crusader Haha its not 2021, where you guys really did stumble to the semis.

Yep enjoyed it too Bovidae. I know Doleman may of missed odd thing, but would rather that than the opposite myself.

I’ve never seen someone wear a mouthguard during a post match interview. Did Patty T lose a bet?

He's gone one step even further than Parsons keeping his headgear on

Watching delayed. Half seven AEST. so about 2 hours behind.

First thought... Vikena: dumb!

[booboo]

And nice finish Jules...

[booboo]

Hmm... thought 14 bkack offside?

[booboo]

Aumua fucking up throws. Not happy as a bit of a fan for higher honours.

Tighthead!

... aaaand it lands for Welly ...

Not commenting further ... unless...

[booboo]

So who cares if he can't throw ...

Right! Probably not any worse than Taylor...

Remember Taylor has been rubbish at throwing the last year or so and showing no improvement? That's about the extent of it. If we're gonna lose lineouts I'd at least like the player to make up for it around the field.
