Turnover. Jacomb spots a gap, tears the Auckland defence a new one and slides over near the post.

Shades of peak Beaudy there

Sage Walters Hansen was in the Northland Dev squad 2 years ago
@taniwharugby ..

Wrong line Vikena that’s about as bad as it gets

Sage you little ripper ..!

@Steven-Harris said in Auckland v Taranaki:

Fair to say Segners absence has a massive impact on this Auckland team

Half the team is missing

Fuck yes

Just seen the scoreline. Brutal.

Naki scoring for fun in these conditions. Looks like first grade playing a schools XV.

"Humiliation, on their own patch, for Auckland..." ... from Taranaki, is not a phrase I ever expected to hear.

@Kirwan you have still got to marvel at the skill level of the visitors this is not a dry day and Auckland have still got several players with super experience not to mention they have had attack opportunity in the red zone
Make no mistake this has been a humbling on an epic scale
Not to worry though the Taniwha will play them back into form

last try wins.

Get your hand off it.

Tito-Harris looks made for SR.

@Kirwan there you again can you just not give credit ?

Context is important, I gave them credit earlier in the thread.

Feel free to continue to overreact along with TJ.

Aj lam was badly outplayed by rona

This was as predictable as it gets

It's an already green Auckland team with multiple late changes on top of that against a proven NPC squad in woeful conditions.

You know Tito Harris is a talent when he still looks good on the end of that shitshow.

@Kirwan said in Auckland v Taranaki:

This is painful. Can't take out this many players against good teams like Taranaki

I guess this was the "credit"?

Yes. You guys are acting like you beat the full strength side.

We were disrupted late with illness (open question if others are sick, but well enough to play) and I'm supposed to scratch my chin and marvel at the awesomeness of Taranaki?

You did what a strong team is supposed to do when they smell blood and cash in.

It's hardly a humilation like TJ was wanking on about it. It was green team getting an introduction to NPC.
