Auckland v Waikato

[Duluth]

Good 2mins from Angus. The kick through, made a good defensive play 70m down the field 30secs later, then involved in that turnover after Waikato’s counter

[Yeetyaah]

Piss poor defence gg go again next year Waikato

[antipodean]

Terrible defence by Sullivan. Nice step by Spencer.

[Duluth]

Maul defence needs work. Two soft tries

[Steven Harris]

Grest shot Taele on Sullivan

[Yeetyaah]

Shit helluva ball to TCS for that try

[Duluth]

What position is Funaki now?

[Yeetyaah]

So what actually is the ruling for batting it back in? He was in touch before he jumped, bumped the ball in, then landed in touch.

Loos like wing.

[Grooter]

Lima the legend lol bizarre game never thought Waikato would take it but here we are

[Steven Harris]

Unbelievable ..!

[Duluth]

Defence is a mess after the subs/injuries

[antipodean]

Bad miss by Clark. Pushed in too hard, then couldn't come across quick enough to chase an old man down.

Nice break by Sopoaga.

[Yeetyaah]

Never in doubt

[Canes4life]

lol Auckland fluffed that.

[Steven Harris]

Stunning comeback by Waikato ..thats what you want from your bench ..Sopaga and Cook Savage bought it in spades
Aucklsnd will have to rely heavly on the experienced heads as the season progresses

Young Auks have some real talent. Green as cabbages, though.

[KiwiMurph]

Very predictable collapse by a young Auckland team

Pleased with what I saw. Keep playing the youngsters

[Bovidae]

I'm not sure how we won that. Midway through the 2nd half I would have been happy with a BP. Cook-Savage showed why he needs to be starting, and get his hands on the ball as much as possible. The good news as a Waikato supporter is that there were a lot of players still to return.

You've got to love the NPC. Sure, the skill level is lower but the teams are willing to play.
