Auckland v Hawke's Bay

[Duluth]

Powerful and accurate start

[Nepia]

Eek, not a good start in the big match of the day.

[Stockcar86]

Magpies defence is a bit passive

[KiwiMurph]

Wonderful try Auckland. Smooth.

[Duluth]

Nice

Auckland backs are at a deep angle today. Seems to be working

[KiwiMurph]

Hey look - a 10 who can exit.....

[Duluth]

Choat has been running well today. Not normally a strength of his

[Stargazer]

Geez, not another one of our props injured, please.

[KiwiMurph]

If I was Blues I would be trying to get Thomas out of his Reds contract and convince him to do a Steve Devine.

[KiwiMurph]

Brilliant by Fakatava

[Stargazer]

Beautiful try.

[Nepia]

Nice try to the Magpies.

I thought they were going to spare my dicky heart this week by meekly succumbing early, but I'm glad they're showing some fighting spirit.

[KiwiMurph]

If another AB hooker is needed go with Thompson

[KiwiMurph]

Haha Heem makes some boneheaded slow motion plays at times

I think I read somewher he's Maori so is most likely NZ eligible without having to do an actual Devine too.

[Nepia]

Yes, try to Parsons!

[KiwiMurph]

Jipper will be happy

Queensland Reds make three changes to starting XV to face Drua

The Queensland Reds have made three changes to their starting side to take on the Fijian Drua in a historic double header at Suncorp Stadium this Saturday.

[Nepia]

Wow, Magpies really do not like starting well, Auckland in again after halftime.

[KiwiMurph]

About as cynical a penalty advantage as you'll see and they concede the try anyway.
