Canterbury v Auckland

[Grooter]

Good on ya Nick the cantab hooker

[Steven Harris]

Struggling to understand how Canterbury let Shearer go and then select the number 2 halfback from Ta$man whom from what i have seen is not the best

[Duluth]

Auckland playing very wide this year

More fun to watch than last season at least

[Grooter]

These Auckland wingers are great to watch

[Canes4life]

Superb footy by Auckland. Getting the ball wide is killing Canterbury. Great skills in this weather.

[Duluth]

All the young backs have been playing well

[Steven Harris]

The scrum law is an arse and needs to be reviewed
As far as i am concerned once you get an intial shove and regardless of it screwing your the dominant scrum

[Duluth]

Very little ball for Auckland in this half

[Duluth]

Great pass Vai

[Grooter]

Rova with some big moments this half

[Frank]

Rico Simpson looks to have potential

[Duluth]

Auckland poll up early:

Only caught last 10. Auks should have been able to find a way over from 5m. Lam play so predictable.

There’s a lot of talent in the Auckland side. Simpson and Spencer have plenty of distance on their kicks, just need to improve the accuracy

I was going to say that Spencer's defensive kicking wasn't great. He has always been a run-first fullback.

A couple of mis-kicks but he seems to have good distance at least. Way too many kicks were going straight to hand without much pressure on though. Most of the contestable kicks came from Funaki
