[Stargazer]

@rapido You mean for collapsing a driving maul twice, and having been warned.

Auckland had that coming. Penalty try; yellow card for Akira. Stupid.

@rapido Really?

That was so blatantly in the side, utterly awful.

[Tim]

Experience is telling. Auckland players looked tentative all game.

[Stargazer]

Great try Manu! And just like that Auckland is on the board. Maybe they'll start playing now.

[Machpants]

Nicely done! Canterbury pedestrian in getting back

[broughie]

@tim that’s an understatement Tim. How about drive, commitment, execution and I could go on. If they had any pride they would not enter the sheds at half time.

[Machpants]

Hopefully AKL will calm down now they're on the board and the game will improve

[Yeetyaah]

Abel and Ruru having a hard time.

[Tim]

Adams under a lot of pressure.

[Stargazer]

Auckland needs to fix their line-out and scrum. They're being utterly dominated.

So such thing as blatantly in the side of a rolling maul. Because they are rolling.

Canterbury completely dominating the Auckland Pack. Great crowd, excellent atmosphere they will be happy with the turnout to watch the Finals.

[KiwiMurph]

Not much to say really. Getting destroyed.

Auckland lucky not to be trailing by more.

Cant say i see much in Cameron. Even behind a dominant pack looks average.

Faiane very good. Trainor sneaky good.

She's a long way back now.

[Stargazer]

Harmon off with a yellow for a tip tackle.

[Tim]

@stargazer I'm glad we didn't get 100x replays on the big screen.

[Tim]

Got to get points in those situations.

[hydro11]

Good work from Jackson to reward the dominant scrum with the penalty. I have seen those go the other way.

[Tim]

Great play Ioane. He and Faiane leading this team.

[Stargazer]

@tim Great try Ioane, but he's dominated by Whitelock.

[Stargazer]

Geez, what a horrible weather. For the crowd that's there, it's good that there aren't more people. At least they get the opportunity to look for a dry, covered seat now that they've opened some of the other stands.
