Auckland v Waikato

[Kirwan]

Good to see Thomas on, and with Evans off that has to leave RTS covering 10 If Zarn doesn’t go 80.

[Kirwan]

That’s so frustrating, he ignores 20 other join from the sides but penalises that one.

[KiwiMurph]

Not in the cards for Auckland today

[KiwiMurph]

This could be a drubbing by full time.

Waikato 13 is impressive

[Stargazer]

That was the first drop goal of the current NPC season.

@Stargazer saved Apisai getting pinged....again.....

[Stargazer]

Hat-trick Roe.

[Yeetyaah]

Where has this Waikato team been all season????

[Duluth]

Ok get, 3 tries in 11 mins

Although who knows when the ref will say the half is over

[KiwiMurph]

Nice run by Che Clark. Auckland should start him at 6

[Duluth]

Royal at LH, Clark at lock, 3 opensides. Yuck

Waiting for this bald headed fluffybunny

Haha trust Apisai to knock it on.

[Yeetyaah]

@Kirwan cope and seethe I suppose idk

[Duluth]

Funaki was a hand break in the first half. Zarn’s kicking from hand was aimless too

The weird bench worked in Waikato’s favour. They subbed on more power while Auckland’s bench for some reason (injuries?) was a bit lightweight. We should’ve gone to a 6/2 when we saw Waikato had a 7/1 split

Well that was shit

[KiwiMurph]

Congrats Waikato. Far too good.

Auckland starting Apisai and Funaki were asking for trouble.

Auckland's discipline a real problem. Not dissimilar to the ABs.

[Kirwan]

We looked flat after the Canterbury result last week.

[Bovidae]

When I least expect a win Waikato puts in a performance like that. Funny to see Wrampling come onto the left wing so early in the 2nd half.
