Official Match Report:

--2015 Mar 18th--

Round 10

Auckland Blues vs Otago Highlanders

 

[teach]

The All Black front row for Auckland really had a massive impact. Pity they came on 40 minutes too late.

Certainly made a difference didn't they DP? Clan went well again, but boy the Smiths and Fekitoa are going to need a rest soon, so that may cost them a match or 2.

Gotta add DP, that was a bloody soft YC to Wheeler!

Fekitoa and Waisake Naholo.

Both with the Auckland Blues in 2013.

Neither adjudged to be up to it.

Easy way to deal with that is to not try and get him back into playing each week. With a Taufua/Todd/Read loose forward trio, McCaw doesn't really need to play much Super rugby. Ergo, there's no need to rush his return. If/when he does return, just keep him on the bench and, more importantly, don't break him.
