Auckland v Wellington
-
Harkin should be our first five. He carved up Wellington Club rugby this year.

Yuck Lam, just pass it normally and that's probably a try
Didn't exactly scream 'pick me for the AB midfield' aye.

Very annoying after the brilliant work to create the space.

Nice passage of play from Zarn

Jesus Clarke. Shocking drop.

Jesus Alama’s son. Shocking drop.

Wellington deny Auckland and jet home with a bonus point. FT 21-29
That’s the sort of Wellington defence that won us the 2022 title. Keep it up.
-
Bleh. Some bad moments in defence a bit like last year. Error rate killed that game

Do Auckland not have a smaller ground they can play at?

How bad was the Ref missed multiple Auckland knock ons and penalised Wellington off the paddock.

Big forward pass before the last Wellington try. Not sure how Wellington didn’t get a card given all those penalties
That’s NPC refereeing though. It is a step down

Excellent defense by Wellington
Preston was very impressive. Unsure why he wasn't starting last year and thought their might have been a reason but based on this just poor selecting by Ellison
Higgins was another impressive back. Savea was invisible until eh went off. JGB is a big improvemnet on Morgan but hasn't changed
Plummer stepped up compared to last year in the forwards. Hope he cna keep it up

Defence wins matches they say and you've gotta take your chances.

Yep.
Shit defence and no good execution (based on my first half viewing)
-
Wellington have Auckland, Taranaki and Canterbury to start so that win will take a bit of pressure off.
-
JGB had a great first half before fading completely during the second. This is really head scratching.
Good game from PUJ. I point this out because he is one of the most reviled players on this forum. -

Say what now? You confusing him with Christie/Havili?

Not even the most criticised in this Wellington 23. J Savea and Apisai would be battling for that. Kirifi not far behind
