Left Upper Hutt at 6am a drove up with a mate and his daughter. Good trip, only holdup was at Ngarawhahia. No traffic jams in Auckland. And got a park close to the station at Eden Park. After the game, left at 9:30 arriving home at 6am. Thanks Tom Tom.
Fantastic crowd this game and they got into the chanting. Well done Auckland, credit where it is due. It was a great effort.
The game was good, even if a bit scrappy at times. If possible, I'd love to see the same starting line up on Friday night. Hooper did a lot of subtle work off the ball. Steinman and Devlin work really well together. I thought the Ref was going to do a "Kersy" on us but left the cards alone in the second half. I thought the disallowed goal was good as the deflection put everyone inside but others have explained it earlier in this thread.
A great result ground out. Made the drive home even better. Thanks Nix and thanks Auckland, you both came to the party.
I’m not sure if others did a similar road trip but if so hats off to them. Amazing commitment
