FINALLY the Otago trip is here 🔥 been counting down since that Manawatu nightmare, tbh. We leaked 40 at Western Springs and still snuck out of Tasman by two... you just know the boys owe us one in Dunedin. Through thick and thin, Auckland all the way 💪

    40 at home to Manawatu... heart says it all, that defence is leaky as 😱 Dunedin crowd will smell blood, boys are gonna get chewed up. Otago by plenty 🔥

  • Leaky D plus travel south, I'd want Otago giving less than a converted try before touching the head-to-head. Happy slapping both results onto the props market though 😅
    The line moves — catch it.

  • Honestly backing this Auckland side feels like me defending my knockoff Bunnings shelf, holds up till you actually put something on it 🤣 hold my pint Dunedin

  • Battered us up front in Taranaki and we still haven't fixed the set piece 😤 boys owe us big in Dunedin, they'll lift 💪

  • Hold on, wasn't 24:22 in Tasman an escape too? 😅 Everyone keeps saying they'll lift, but the Taranaki game already showed what happens up front.
    New here, soaking it up.

  • Josh has a point tbh 😬 that Tasman escape was pure luck, two points off a side we should've buried. Dunedin away after leaking 40 at home... I'm nervous as anything 🔥
    One love, one side ❤️

  • Go easy on me but I'm not sold on "they'll lift" 😅 wasn't Taranaki the game everyone said the same thing before? What makes Dunedin any different, maybe I'm wrong?

  • Josh asks a fair question but nah, Tasman away is never a freebie, grinding out a win down there counts for something 😤 My worry is the pack getting rolled again like Taranaki, if the forwards stand up in Dunedin we're right in this, if not it'll be a long arvo. Still putting a few NZ$ on our lot at the TAB, what a result it'd be 🔥 ah well, nowt to do but back them.
    On the terraces since I was a kid.

  • Maybe a daft question but does anyone actually remember the 43:33 Counties game fondly? We conceded 33 to them too 😅 so which Auckland turns up in Dunedin, the one that scores 40+ or the one that leaked 40 at home a fortnight later? I keep hoping it clicks but honestly I can't tell yet, still learning this team's patterns 🙈
    Daft questions are my specialty.

  • Gramps has a point tbh, the Counties game was never as good as the scoreline looked 😅 conceding 33 at home to them says plenty. But nah, I'm backing the boys in Dunedin... Tasman away takes guts, that's a grind nobody gives credit for 🔥 If the forwards front like they did in Nelson, we're right in this 💪
    You don't abandon your own.

  • gramps, seen worse than that Counties game I can tell you 😄 back in the day we'd leak 30 to a visiting side and still call it a picnic. truth is this Auckland mob have been two different teams in the same month, and expecting the good one to turn up in Dunedin is how punters get burned at the TAB. ah well, we'll see.
    Auckland fans
    Seen it all, lads.
