Starting XIs were
Auckland: Zubikarai; White, Kim, Dordevic, Rogers; Tavano, Hudson-Wihogni, Riera; Tade, Moreira, De Vries
Waitakere: Strasser; Cain, Nash, Collett, Hogg; Butler, Shaw, Francini; Thelen, Stansfield, Morgan
Berlanga, Bilen, Iwata are all injured for City; while Lea'alafa was away. Lewis the other 'notable' absentee.
Possession probably somewhere in the 80-20 range; City had several chances, and were stopped by Strasser (who looks good), the crossbar, and their own ineptness. Still, Waitakere were well organised, had a few other chances themselves, and deserved the win.
Highlight of the game was Tade handballing when City on attack late on, then having a moan to the Lino, and Hudson-Wihonogi yelling at him that he's a "fudgeing idiot".
