Great Championship Final thus far. I think quite a few people will be surprised to see the 17 all half time score!

More surprised that they are playing in Balclutha!
Not a great choice of ground when your team is based on playing fast sharp rugby. This stodgy pitch is a bit amateur with much thicker pasture than FBS

This article explains why the game is in Balclutha.

Harsh call there, was never held on the ground. Ref should have gone with her own call rather than what is likely a local touchie.

Awesomeness! Didn't expect that.

Auckland being shredded, 10-0 down after 5 mins

Talk about a one team competition.

This Auckland side looks rubbish.

It's been done before, remember Steve Watt from the mid 70s?
