[QUOTE="scuubasteve, post: 154840"] Yeah this was really a one sided fixture. The Bay had a couple of opportnities to make the scoreline a little closer, but were never threatening to cause any upsets. It was pretty horrible weather to play in. But there still seemed to be a pretty decent turnout, and I'm proud to say there were more Bay jerseys than Auckland ones in the crowd! It would have been the biggest game in the careers of most of the Bay team, and Israel Dagg sure got some big game experience getting peppered all night by the boot of Nacewa and co. Not the best end to the Bays amazing season. Hopefully having some decent crowds will help the Union maintain a sustainable team at that level (or above). Because I've been reading some rather disheartening articles of late suggesting that most Unions might not be sticking around at this level if things continue the way they are. And of course, congrats to Auckland. They really deserve the home final and should come up against a more equal adversary next week. [/QUOTE]
