There's a fair few highlanders adjacent players in the Auckland team gives me an idea for a multi as insurance just incase

Some very easy money for punters with Auckland paying $2.3 at the TAB

Paying $3 here in Oz

[Landers92]

Good strong start for Otago. Hastie getting on the board early

[Duluth]

Norrie continues to look classy

[Landers92]

Good response Auckland. Good speed show. From Norrie. Weak D otago

[Landers92]

Harry Taylor didn’t even stick his arm out to try and make that tackle that let him through… very odd

[SouthernMann]

Auckland don't seem huge on trying to bring Tangitau into its attacking structure

[Landers92]

Incredible kick from Millar to get them in position for that try.

[Landers92]

Followed up with a huge kick, chase, charge down and gets the try. Great work

[KiwiMurph]

Well there's no defending that from Simpson. That was woeful.

Was this sarcasm or have not seen Auckland play this season?

I had higher hopes for Auckland after we decided to rest three of our best players.

[Landers92]

Wouldn’t mind Hastie putting that boot away and holding the ball for a bit longer

[KiwiMurph]

Finally the refs get it right. Hastie knock on.

[KiwiMurph]

That's a good example of why it isnt always a good idea to look for touch when clearing

You would be better off just hoofing it down the middle of the field.

[SouthernMann]

Did not think Auckland would be this bad against the understrength side we rolled out.

[brodean]

As far as penalty tries go I thought was pretty generous.
