QF - Canterbury v Auckland

Tim

Chris

Joe Moody scratched from the reserves replaced by Tom Heywood.

Duluth

Weird that he was named on the bench to start with. Was he carrying a niggle or is this the AB’s screwing with the NPC again?

Chris

@Duluth
He did have a niggle ,so it could be just that .I hear he is next on the plane if they need a prop.

KiwiMurph

Of course it's Tony Johnson

Stargazer

@KiwiMurph Just as predictable as Ken Laban commentating the Wellington game tomorrow.

Duluth

On field try. Pathetic officiating

Steven Harris

Auckland D has been super impressive

Stargazer

Burke off early with an injury. Looked serious.

Crotty on.

Duluth

Good response

Some nice touches from Tele’a

KiwiMurph

Some nice touches from Tele’a

Then an awful drop

Steven Harris

2 Canterbury forward passes missed by Bryant

ACT Crusader

Drummond is a massive handbrake on our attack.

KiwiMurph

Auckland are being seriously outplayed and are somehow ahead.

Duluth

Heem needs to put pressure on Bryant. An obvious not rolling penalty was waved away and a holding penalty a couple mins before

ACT Crusader

Orcs defence is holding. We have won so much ruck ball and Drummond seems to make the wrong decision or is too slow

ACT Crusader

Heem needs to put pressure on Bryant. An obvious not rolling penalty was waved away and a holding penalty a couple mins before

That not rolling penalty was so obvious too. Although Auckland got away with one just a few rucks earlier

Not the highest quality game so far from either side.

KiwiMurph

I don't know how people rate Tele'a

He's a midfielder that can't catch

ACT Crusader

Great run by Bell and then Zahn makes a good tackle (but never rolls away even if he was under)

How bad is Telea? It feels like he drops more of them than he catches
