    Sullivan is a #12 and he might be an all black 12 if they make that decision.

    RTS was never a 12, he was always a fullback / wing

      Daft option for DG. Could have played for a penalty.

        Sullivan has all the skills for a good ten, but his decision-making isn't there, yet. That will come with more experience (hopefully).

          Zarn had some seriously dumb errors in this game.

          The short restart on halftime nearly cost them 3 points - was a high risk low reward play in the wet.

          His long bomb won a knock on and then he booted it away losing the advantage

          That drop goal.

              If Zarn wants to make higher honours he needs to nail down the blues #12 jersey

                Unreal performance from a Taranaki team missing several starting players
                Not much more say

                  I’m starting to think the same. And also, a very good fullback that can cameo as first receiver

                        I can't say i'm too impressed by McGrath as Auckland coach.

                        Auckland have gone from one mediocre coach to another.

                              If you ignore the conditions limiting the game plan available, causing most of the mistakes.

                              Blunted our attacking options, and some truely bizarre ref calls too. Touch judge on this side never called the offsides either.

                                Massive errors. The season would be a lot better if Plummer (when fit) was at 10 and Sullivan at fullback

                                Or even McKenzie at 10

                                  Makes sense.

                                  What exactly has Jono Hickey achieved to be Auckland assistant coach? Seems to me he went nearly straight from one of the worst Auckland 9s I can ever remember to a cushy assistant role.

                                    @KiwiMurph many people in Auckland Rugby asking the same question about Hickey , what has he really done coaching wise..?
                                    Interestingly enough he turned up to one of Manukau Rovers training nights to see what they were doing differently
                                    Given Rovers had a possible upcoming semi final against G-Tech in the coming weeks , even though he was there in his Auckland capacity , he was politely asked to leave given he had ties with G-Tech ..🤦🏻‍♂️
