[QUOTE="ABs2011, post: 747752, member: 57663"] I watched it. I personally don't think Tasman should start Renata if Banks is fit. They had Banks at 15 but they lacked the cohesion I have been used to in the backs. That was one issue for Tasman. The other was not putting the points on the board when they had the chance from about 45min to 65min. They were on attack a lot and came up empty. That being said, they were outplayed and the big Auckland ball runners + Karpik were the difference. Ioane, Moala, Piutau, Aso, Lam, Edwards carried well and made the advantage line/broke the line much more than their Tasman counterparts. I had previously thought that Auckland lacked a bit in the halves to win the comp, but perhaps the Hickey boys are good enough to give them a shot at the Premiership. That being said I think Canterbury are just far too structured for Auckland, so even if Auckland makes the final Im not sure they can win it. [/QUOTE]
