[QUOTE="ranger, post: 335846, member: 40555"] They didnt close out very well and you could argue that they weren't very clinical, but you have to remember that it was only the 2nd game of the season. They were no less clinical than any other team in the comp has been to this point.I just think that they played some top class football, the forwards were immense, the backs were very threatening, they deserve some credit. If the Counties forwards can put in another display like they have shown the last 2 weeks and gain parity in the tight (Which will be very difficult as i rate Southland as the best pack in NZ) then the South Aucklanders could give them hell in the backs, the most impressive part of their backplay for me was their support and offloading, its immense. It depends on the pitch a bit too, if its a cold mudbath, you can expect a Stag victory, if its a dry field though.. I for one will probably throw a 20 on Counties, they will be paying a bit and i really hope for the sake of rugby in South Auckland that they win it. It would be even better if they keep it and take it to the 2nd division with them. [/QUOTE]
