North Harbour v Auckland

[Tim]

That should have been a penalty against Mayhew. No release.

[KiwiMurph]

That was very nicely worked.

Fusitua having a good game

[Tim]

Good patience.

[KiwiMurph]

That's a class try in the conditions.

[Duluth]

Good team try. Much better this week

[Tim]

Different team this week.

[Tim]

Good challenge for Fusitua today, coming up against Tevita Mafileo.

[KiwiMurph]

Akira is everywhere today

[KiwiMurph]

Shame that Thomas doesn't play much behind Tate at the Reds. He should try and get out of his contract and move franchises.

[Duluth]

The Blues should use Ioane off the back occasionally. Even if he’s playing six.

[KiwiMurph]

He lacks physicality at times but Beehre has a good workrate and does some nice things.

[Steven Harris]

Henry Taefu does a Warren Burton , almost the same spot

[KiwiMurph]

Good game from Vikena - needs consistency now.

[Tim]

Plummer is enjoining the quick ball today.

[Tim]

Great scrum against some quality players.

[KiwiMurph]

Good to see Sititi getting minutes - he stood out for last year's NZ U20s

[Duluth]

Evans at 13?

[Tim]

Slow motion stuff there.

[KiwiMurph]

Some poor errors by Zarn the last few minutes.

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Sullivan has been very static taking the ball recently, and Auckland are kicking to preserve a lead, not to keep playing for points.
