The (not quite the) Battle of The Bottom ....

Promising start until that Sullivan pass

Error rate still too high. Defence has been better than recent weeks

Hell of a try from NH just before half time

Segner is playing well.

Yeah disrupting at the front of the lineout, wining turnovers etc. His best performance of the NPC so far

What an idiot Hall. A Westlake boy wins it for Auckland.

Fuck off Hall. You fucked up

Never in doubt motherfuckers! What a finish.

Auckland MOTM voting:

Why is Stevenson complaining? Why not just make the fucken tackle. He is pathetic in defence. Thank god Carter is at the chiefs next year 11. ENS 14. Carter 15. Narawa.

Wow! Anyone see what Kemara was doing just before that scrum??
That's gotta be the most hail Mary thing in the history of rugby

That's why I love rugby, head in the hands up until 78mins and then ecstasy!

Surely the AR saw what he was doing. I suppose you can understand why Hall changed the ball.

@Bovidae is there such a thing as ball tampering in rugby? Ha

Che Clark's touch in that winning try was awesome

Segner now has a combination German/PI accent

Enjoyable game

Hall needs to take the L and not cry to the ref after the game.

Simpson is a real talent for just 18.

Che Clark needs more minutes

Tangitau looked impressive all game
