now to FOX turns it in field and charging up is <,> er dowd takes it to within about twelve metres of the goal line forwards in again looking for it in centre field auckland they can go EITHER way hewitt's in there out it goes on the left of FOX trying to step his way through now they switch it out in the open side they're playing sevens at the moment it's been taken in their by CARTER getting it off hewitt and carter goes in and sets it again they're right out in front of the goal posts and this time the penalty goes against western samoa for being up offside <,,> so they tried to go left they tried to go right there was no way through they were firing the ball around western samoan backs really standing up in offside position on BOTH <&>1:00 sides <,> and it was just a matter of time before inhales referee lindsay mcglauchlin <,> blew his whistle and gives fox <,> well an even easier kick at goal this time <,> I don't suppose any of them are that easy are they but er <.>he's no he'll <,> he'll get this one i <{><[>i assure you <[>right laughs but they ran well there the first time the backline they split the er samoans a bit er but good er inhales er tackle their from tapu <.>me meleisea he saved a voc promising movement there on the aucklands er side and er some good support from the loosies but they just seemed a bit disorganised from that ruck ball running into each other er marc carter running into er olo and er inhales just seemed a wee bit disorganised due to lay back that ball for jason fourteen minutes gone here <,> at mount smart FOX to the left of the posts he's eighteen in from touch inside the twenty two <,,> getting the raspberry from some sections of the crowd <,,> i'm sure it's not going to bother HIM <,,> so as usual he just makes them suffer a little longer now he comes in for the kick no mistake with that one for grant fox fourteen minutes gone auckland in front three nil <&>2:00 yes just reward there they've been on attack now for probably the last er six seven minutes in the er the <.>s <.>wes western samoans half and twenty two inhales er all that's the same pressure and they've come away with three points i'm sure <.>f er fitzy will be happy that at this stage but er inhales they'll be definitely be looking forward to getting a bit more er continuity in their <.>p in their play back to halfway they come and kellett will kick away to his right towards us in the old grandstand and it's been oh it's been dropped by jackson and back goes marc carter to pick it up tidy up does well but he's been put on the deck there by er tatupu coming through for western samoa they've won the ball koko in from the blindside makes a few metres he's gone to the deck but they're gonna win the ball are western samoa tonu's going in there looking for it has to use the feet <,,> good thing there's not an australian touch judge out it goes to kellett trying to dance his way through loses it forward though just as the gap was opening and he's been scragged in centre field we'll have the knock on just inside the twenty two yeah good tackle there they know mistake from the kickoff um calling there between er <&>3:00 burtwhistle and <.>bran and er dowdy and just got a wee bit disorganised and er put them under some pressure they can relieve now as hewitt gets the ball from the scrum out it goes on the RIGHT to in fact they're going to run it howarth gets it out to situtu with a bit of ground he goes over the twenty two up towards halfway he goes puts the kick in <.>l the fullback meleisea is back there to grab it and has to just toe it over the touch line <,> so they opened it out from inside the twenty two <,,> and they've taken play up to the western samoan ten metre mark far side of the FIELD towards the auckland RIGHT and it'll be a scrum in fact because meleisea KNOCKED it forward on the ten metre mark so an attacking situation for auckland <,> a fairly close to the touch line <,> pete montgomery how's that scrum setting oh peter fatialofa's having a real duel here <,> with olo brown they're really working on it here's jason to feed jason hewitt feeds the scrum it's been hooked jones picks it up off the back makes a couple of metres now he's been put on the ground inhales going in looking for it is HEWITT situtu coming in from the blindside wing arrived a little bit too <&>4:00 early he's been put on the DECK and tatupu grabs it for western samoa he's getting through a lot of work in the <,> early stages of the game but he's been penalised now for not releasing the ball i think yes he just he he he DIVED on that loose ball did a good job there but he couldn't get to his feet and of course he must release it and er the boys were a bit slow on top of him <{><[>and he got penalised <[>I think touch judge coming onto the field penalty's gone to auckland but pete montgomery what happened well er <.>h there was the touch judge is telling lindsay mcglauchlin something i'm just trying to eavesdrop tony i can't get close enough at the moment standby i'll find out though okay tut injured player on the ground it's mark burtwhistle i think it might have been for some er rough er <.>r <{><[>rucking there <[>laughs pete's trying to find out what happened from the touch judge good luck laughs i think there was some over rigorous rucking there pete <,,> over vigorous rucking was it peter try turning your mike on mate laughs the er back er the samoan is being inhales warned now i'll just try and find out who it is it's number seven inhales now that's er <{><[>iupeli <&>5:00 <[>word and he is being WARNED for KICKing into the BACK of an auckland player as judged by the TOUCH judge who dobbed him in and reported him to lindsay mcglauchlin so this is another penalty goal attempt to er grant fox incidentally er t j a j whetton was right marc carter WAS PINGED for lifting earlier on in the match er pete montgomery eavesdropping on the sideline was marc carter er lifting was he um i'll have to have a word to him about that loose forwards don't lift no <,> er a a a very er staunch <,> and er <,,> well <,> er how would you describe loose forwards a j they're <{><[>probably pi pi pillar pillars of society <[>they're very talented and bright bright pillars of society have a great record laughs fox is just at the right of the posts and he's about thirty eight excuse me i just want to clean my ears out here fox just to the right of the posts he's about er thirty eight metres out <,> from the goal line <&>6:00 and this should be a fairly straight forward kick EIGHteen minutes gone here at mount smart stadium <,> tut grant fox with the opportunity to put <&>pronounced por auckland in front by SIX nil in he comes there it goes it may just drop short hits the bar auckland up there after it macahill's in there he may have spilt it over the goal line almost an opportunist try well done bernie he chased that ball the only back in the auckland side to chase that terry of course was way up on the lefthand side but er bernie raced all the way in there he just couldn't <.>c hold onto that ball that would have been er seven points right under the dot eight metres out from the goal line defensive scrum for western samoa and it's starting to go BACKwards as auckland put the shove in but tonu comes away gets it from kaleopea bangs the kick away down the right wing side of the field puts it out on the ten metre mark good kick under pressure junior <&>6:37 <&>radio breaks for an update <&>9:15 well i wouldn't want to be caught between that pete um the clash of the titans really um a lot of respect er for olo brown of course one of the best hookers i i rate in the country at this stage and of course peter fatialofa well who could deny the big man who lifts pianos er like we lift our groceries but er no they've been a a great clash there and er you know they've er they're good friends and good mates off the field but er my word when it comes to this game of rugby tut er there's no bars hold <&>for no holds barred is there i tell you what this is now a game of four quarters as well i forgot about that er water break but it's all over now <.>f twenty minutes gone here now so we're halfway through the first HALF at mount smart stadium and it's still auckland in front just by three <&>10:00 points to nil <,> auckland DEFINITELY have had the territorial advantage over the first quarter of this game they've had two shots at goal fox successful with <,,> in fact they've had er three shots at goal and fox successful with one of them and darren kellett has had one shot at goal for western samoa was UNSUCCESSFUL now play has restarted midway twenty two and halfway on the grandstand side the big grandstand side of the field and it's going to be a left wing throw for western samoa down towards the back and they've got it nicely iupeli doing some good work AGAIN down towards the back and tonu's going in looking for it <,> leasamaivao just trying to wrestle it away they may look to try and ROLL it it's steady the maul now they go left or try to go left can't do that so they come right tut they're just inside the ten metre mark <,,> and <,> not really going anywhere <,,> fifteen in from touch <,,> and the ball's gone on the ground in fact auckland have won it up it <&>11:00 goes to CARTER running off the ruck one wide up towards the twenty two he goes they've put him on the deck and leasamaivao's in there maybe preventing the ball coming out but the referee said it wasn't intentional but auckland couldn't clear it and so western samoa will get to feed to the scrum tut i thought western samoa were very lucky there <.>the um er leasamaivao <&>pronounced leasamaivaoli should have been penalised for holding onto the ball word marc carter so western samoa twenty metres in from their left wing touch just out from the twenty two they've won the ball from the scrum and darren kellett with a good left kick left foot kick <{><[>takes the ball well up into auckland territory from inside his own twenty two that was a fine kick <[>oh fine kick there's definitely a bit of wind there helping him it must have been a kick of good forty fifty metres he's got a very good left foot has young darren kellett <,,> and the lineout will be <.>e on the main grandstand side of the field three nil auckland <,> and <,> we're a minute two minutes perhaps into the second QUARTER of this game it's a right wing throw for auckland right on <&>12:00 the ten metre mark fitzpatrick down towards the back but once again western samoa have WON it out it goes to kellett they're going to run it this time up it goes to ieremia has his first run of the game takes play up to the auckland ten metre mark forwards have gone in looking for it and they've got it they'll go away on the blind tonu out it goes to lima on the left gets past situtu the first time but they come across and they drag him towards the touchline situtu regathers his feet er they've WON the ball have they from the ruck yes they have up it goes to leasamaivao now there's er not too much <.>disor er organisation going on there <.>wher for western samoa but they've managed to set play up towards the ten er the twenty two metre mark now the ruck has gone to the ground and <,> tonu gets it away it goes to kellett on the right IEREMIA is gonna have another run but macahill nails him puts him on the deck auckland forwards arrive quicker but they've got it away AGAIN have western samoa out it goes to koko tries to kick ahead it's been partially charged down WRIGHT'S in there looking for it for auckland it goes over the touchline just inside the auckland ten metre mark <,,><&>3 auckland left wing side that's the old grandstand side here at mount smart <,,> <&>13:00 first time the samoans have er had a crack out out wide there and er good defence from auckland my word bernie macahill and eroni clarke couple of big hits out there they snuffed out that midfield attack their of er <.>v <.>v vaega and koko coming in and er there was no way through that auckland defence we've had twenty three minutes of play and we really haven't seen the ball going too wide there's a couple of good strong runs there from ieremia now once AGAIN western samoa have won lineout ball out it goes to keldon on the ten metre mark auckland puts it high in the air this is a big kick up goes howarth for it but it's been knocked away from him by ieremia following up quickly ball's gone on the ground just <.>from out from the auckland goal post they've got it away out on the right now koko's having a go he gets it away out on the left of the flanker er tatupu's bowled over the touch line running in amongst the backs tatupu <&>pronounced tatutu what a fine tackle by terry wright tatupu's a big man a hundred and four kilos and look at the size of him terry just knocked him down like a piece of straw great tackle who said this man <.>s can't tackle i've never said it i've always thought he's a marvellous tackie tackle er terry wright <&>14:00 although <,> some people towards er in other parts of the country take a lot of convincing but he's a fine defensive player and he showed it then now auckland have won the ball from the scrum fox inside his own in goal area <,> puts it up the left wing side of the field for auckland and out just inside the twenty two so auckland just coming under a little bit of pressure here from western samoa they've got a bit of a roll going <,,> and auckland have had to defend well it's tatupu's <&>pronounced tatopu getting a lot of ball at the back of the lineout here <,> they're steady supply and giving the er western samoans a chance to launch some great attacks western samoa right wing throw just inside the auckland twenty two oh very good ball for falaniko in the middle of the lineout for western samoa they're cleaning up there at the moment tonu gets it away on his LEFT to kellett out it goes to vaega trying to have a run out in the centres he's been put on the ground there by CLARKE but they've regained it have the western samoan forwards with some good loose forward play from er koko coming in from the wing they've set it up centre field just out from the twenty two now they go LEFT to kellett has a stab at a dropkick at goal but <&>15:00 it's <,> gone under the bar <,,> good opportunity for a dropkick there he was out in front of the posts about thirty out but perhaps just rushed it a little he had a lot of time <,,> and put it underneath the bar must give credit to the defence again of auckland obviously a bit frustrated can't break that initial line and er but <.>e er the backing up wasn't quite there tut so out of frustration the drop goal twenty five minutes gone first half and fox with the dropkick out towards the old grandstand side towards the auckland left it's been taken in again by the samoans they're going well at the moment tonu comes away gets away from jackson now darts around on the blindside no support there though and referee says penalty against auckland you're offside who's that down there is that <.>i er leavasa yeah leavasa the lock looks like he's taken a bit of a blow on the thigh <,,> trainer coming onto the field but this is going to be another shot at goal for darren kellett now the first one was a fairly nervous attempt <,,> this time he's got the CHANCE <,> to level the scores <,,> <&>16:00 <{><[>he's <[>that was a great lineout take wasn't it he he REALLY got up there tell you what they've got their <.>o lineout well organised at the moment western samoa they're certainly shading auckland they certainly are i i i just think they might be having a bit of difficulty with that wind out there the throws don't seem to be going to the players but my word these er samoans er what a turn around from last week against natal they're competing for everything <&>16:15 <&>break to studio for an update <&>19:08 lokile um it is er the prop number three lelau and he is being WARNED and even fatialofa came in to restrain his own prop and er who is it it's michael jones has got no pants now because the prop put his boot RIGHT down jones's BUTT and er <{1><[1>i think his under knackers are still there but certainly his shorts are not er certainly a j whetton talking about the big hits they are <&>transmission cuts out colossal hits and they're not a cliche and the rucking's as tough as a j would've ever had in the south island BELIEVE me <{2><[2>this is WAR down here <[1>laughs <[2>word well grant fox er with the penalty kick puts <,> play back inside the western samoan half by about eight metres on the big grandstand side of the field <,,> we're looking at them <,> right to left auckland playing in the first half the scores seven three western samoa western samoa with the wind <&>20:00 at their backs <,,> in the first half and in towards the front of the lineout it goes it's been knocked back untidily on the western samoan side tidying up and a lovely kick and run through junior tonuu up towards halfway he goes big peter fatialofa's there DRIVES it over the ten metre mark and the crowd come to their feet again the samoans PUSH auckland back towards their own twenty two metre mark auckland look like they've regained it again and auckland have won it in fact out it goes to fox steps onto his left foot and bangs it back up the touchline oh dangerous he may look dangerous there it all started aGAIN from the lineout <,> auckland are getting TOTALLY dominated in this area here bad ball back to the er samoan halfback though and my word didn't er tonu GO beautiful couple of sidesteps away he went linked up with fatialofa big steam on him he got tackled and of course just a wee bit of sloppy play lost the ball in the tackle and towards the middle of the lineout and once it again it comes back to tonu for western samoa out it goes to kellett ieremia running straight up the middle he's popped off bernie macahill up to the twenty two he goes they're looking dangerous again <,> they've finally put the ball on the deck of auckland <,> western samoan forwards in there word good <&>21:00 work from carter but he's been penalised <,> you were offside says referee lindsay mcglauchlin here's another shot at goal for kellett oh i think that would've been quite a relief to give away a penalty there i'm sure they'd won that ruck ball they would've scored in the corner with lolani <&>pronounced lani koko breathing down the righthand side and they had noone home in defence there good play from <,> marc carter he covers some <,> big ground and michael jones to get there to try and snaffle that attack <,> and my word they are looking dangerous at the moment well ilama ieremia has had a couple of runs and first one he had macahill grabbed him <,> second one he managed to fend him off and that time he just BUMPED him off oh he bumped him off i tell you what these er er peter fatialofa's got these boys revved up now just that opportunist try just seemed to pick them up and they're in er in second gear at the moment and they're taking the game to the aucklanders five minutes to go before halftime here at mount smart stadium and darren kellett will have the shot at goal once again it's on the angle he's about sixteen metres in from the right wing touch so aGAIN it's on the good side of the field for a left foot kicker and he's <&>22:00 just inside the twenty two <,,> kellett so far <,,> one successful kick and it was a good one too wide angle conversion of the try by brian lima <,,> but at the moment no doubt about it that western samoa <,> got auckland a little RATTLED and they can stretch their lead now HERE <,> with just a few minutes to go in the first half <,,> kellett <,,> steadies now in he comes we get a good look at this one there's the kick hits the post and bounces back in field but up comes lima can't grab it but they've got it away on the left still oh beautiful tackle over on the far side we'll pick that up in a moment as auckland came through and er snuffed out the scoring chance and coming away with it is jason hewitt bangs it up the touchline <,,><&>3 wosaki situtu <&>pronounced sitotu i think that was or eroni did a MARVELLOUS tackle there <&>22:35 <&>break to studio for sports update <&>23:21 clarke pulled off that colossal word here is a western samoan attack again yes it is er iupeli driving away from the front of the lineout but he's spilled the ball forward eroni clarke you say pete definitely it was him look <,> there's no love lost between these fellows it's unBELIEVEable the king hits and er eroni clarke has pulled off the tackle of the match so far it's certainly snuffed out any opportunity <.>samo western samoa had is the try on there pete or have the um <{><[>word ball word <[>yes i think so a j definitely the thing that i'd like your analysis at halftime is if these fellows have been halfway round the world that is to play natal and ALSO to play in the the world sevens here they <.>g are coming back <&>24:00 supposedly <.>s er suffering from jetlag they've got spring in their step how on earth are auckland going to take on natal and transvaal by the way there's an injury folks so we're not missing any play at the moment a j now i mean auckland and you know these fellas well where do they go from here well i think they've just really got to just take stock i think er fitzy'll be looking forward to halftime just about gonna start play again er and really just er take <.>t things easy take a big breath and um they'll have the wind in the second half they've just got to slow things down but basically they've got to get some ball peter i've just counted a quick count er one lineout auckland have won out of the last TEN and they're just not getting enough ball and of course hence the pressure from the western samoans the injury to iupeli and he's okay so they'll set the SCRUM midway twenty two and ten metre mark towards the far side of the field pete you would expect robin brooke to come on in the second half trust me <{><[>laughs <[>okay and the ball goes to the scrum <,> hewitt's got it for auckland as fitzpatrick hooks it and he puts the kick high up towards halfway coming in from the left wing to take it is lima does so and he manages to get away from situtu gets it up towards halfway but now they've put him on the <&>25:00 deck been flicked up and it's come out into the western samoan backline too vaega putting a kick in towards the right wing side of the field <,> and in fact he's put it out <,> on the ten metre mark so they're driven back into their own half are auckland good play there by brian lima they're certainly getting off the ground now aren't they and er good aerial football stuff from the er v f l over in australia and right off the ground there taking that ball in the air and er again he snuffed out a dangerous er attack from auckland just a couple of minutes to go in the first half here at mount smart and it's western samoa leading auckland by seven three down towards the back it goes michael jones has a swat at it but once again it's been taken by tatupu driving away furiously from the back of the lineout UP almost to the twenty two tonu's been scragged but he gets away from the tackle they've got numbers out to the right but oh good tackle from daniel manu there as er tonu went around <.>to towards the short side now they've set it up in midfield but they've got it away again to out into the er western samoan backs and er ieremia tries to have a run again up towards the twenty two but they've put him on the ground inhales looks like the western samoan forwards just a little bit slow to arrive at this one and they may struggle to <&>26:00 clear it the referee thinks he can see it in there so he's gonna let it GO now they're in CENTRE field tonu gets it away on the right lima comes in chips the ball ahead coming in from the right <.>wi from the left wing side of the field but reading it well is howarth and he BANGS the ball back down towards that's a huge kick down towards the western samoan twenty two oh it doesn't roll over the touchline though and it's er meleisea the fullback who has to just run it over the touchline eventually <,> managed to make a FEW metres and took play up towards the ten metre mark but well spotted there by shane howarth because <,> it was a fairly <.>inech <.>ina ineffectual chip through by lima he read it well and saw that there was noone home on the left for western samoa so he BANGED it down into open space so auckland have an attacking lineout midway twenty two and halfway <,,> and fitzpatrick on the auckland RIGHT down towards jackson at the back and <.>i once again it's untidy ball and fatialofa grabs it for western samoa but jones has done BRILLIANTLY to get it back for auckland CARTER driving it away up towards the twenty two they go about eighteen in from the far touch out it goes now to fox out it goes to CLARKE this time <&>27:00 trying to have a little run but he's been put on the deck by vaega auckland forwards arriving there the ball's been tied up in a KNOT midway twenty two and halfway but they've got it out HEWITT out it goes to FOX out it goes to situtu they've got numbers out on the right howarth up from fullback here's a chance out on the right for CARTER playing out on the wing trying to dummy his way through he's up towards the corner flag but he's been put on the ground about eight metres out from the goal line auckland forwards arriving and they've got it HEWITT he just flicks it up one off the ruck to dowd has a charge up towards the post now they've put the ball on the ground and auckland have control of it PENALTY <,> penalty against western samoa now there's a couple of players lying on the ground and i think one of them <,> is falaniko the big lock er yes it is and he doesn't look too flash at all here's a shot at goal for grant fox though just to the right of the posts <,,> and er looks like er he's coming off the field pete montgomery yeah and peter fatialofa as well er there's a whole bunch of blood off er the locks' face at the moment he's got er had a bad knock <,,> i'm not allowed on the field anymore tony i've been given the official reprimand so i'll just have to <{><[>wait a minute <&>28:00 <[>laughs oh his eyesight and his <.>ear voc his hearings er good enough anyway pete you just keep up that good eavesdropping you're doing down there on the touchline but er <,> yep falaniko comes off the field and pete said peter fatialofa getting some attention as well we'll wait and see if there's a replacement but inhales time almost up in the first half and grant fox has a chance to close the gap to just one point tut he's JUST to the right of the posts inside the twenty two shouldn't have any problems with this one FOX <,> one out of three so far <,,><&>3 he steadies taking his time wants to make THIS one count just before halftime here he goes and up go the flags <,> seven six the score and that is halftime here at mount smart stadium western samoa leading by seven points to six TWO penalties to grant fox for AUCKLAND for western samoa a try by brian lima converted by Kellett it's been an action PACKED first half here <&>28:56 <&>return to station for advertisements <&>side two <&>0:11 for the first time in the GAME he's thirty five metres OUT he's looking RIGHT down the middle of the posts in centre field <,> seven six at the moment it is <,> to <,> western samoa and <,> we're just <,> a minute or so into <,,> the second half here <,> so FOX moves in here's the kick to put <{1><[1>auckland in front and <{2><[2>oh it's flagged away again <[1>looks good <[2>missed oh that would've been another bit of liquid i would've lost er if i'd taken the bet tony <,> <{><[>voc <[>i think we'd better join gamblers anonymous <,> because we wouldn't make too much money here this afternoon alan i <,> would've backed fox to to put that one over NORMALLY he's thirty five metres out and he was bang in front and he had the wind at wind at <{><[>his back <[>dead right i mean that's ninety nine percent sure as far as i'm concerned but er <,,> he'll be er feeling that one so kellett kicks away to his right now western <&>1:00 samoa playing right to left as we look at them from the old grandstand at mount smart in the second half and they've regained the ball it looks from the dropkick out on the ten metre mark western samoan territory they're fifteen metres in from touch on the far side of the field and they've won a penalty yeah good chasing there from the er the new boy too er lemamease'a came up and took the ball and all and rolled er dowdie with the ball so the er samoans had a advantage with the ball coming on their side so the penalty er awarded just about six metres in from touch far side of the field western samoan right and darren kellett <,> thumps it down field takes play into auckland territory by about eleven metres <,> seven six the score at halftime western samoa <,> seven six it remains with fox missing that first kick now auckland win the ball from the back of the lineout michael jones getting some good work done there <,> play's gone to ground on the ten metre mark auckland backs out to the RIGHT inside their own half and fox slides the kick in behind the defence but coming up and reading it well <,> is meleisea the fullback moves up towards the ten <&>2:00 metre mark in his own territory and oh it's <,> misREAD by SHANE HOWARTH let it bounce and it went behind him so grant fox has to go back and tidy up <{><[>puts the kick down the touchline he hasn't found touch tonu's back on his own ten metre mark he can open it up <,> or he can put it high in the air puts the chip kick over the top going back there is robin brooke in cover defence and er moves away to his left makes some ground up towards the auckland ten metre mark in centre field now they've gone to ground and hewitt puts the ball into open spaces with the fullback out of position going back there koko just out from his twenty two turns and with the left foot puts the ball <,> down field going back there in cover defence is michael jones who drops it behind him but he's regained it and now he starts to move out to open field but koko's grabbed him on the ten metre mark auckland territory ball's gone to the ground forwards in there looking for it <,> and auckland try to work it back they're on their own ten metre mark about er twelve metres in from touch and penalty against western samoa <[>word tut yes a long period of play there i'm tired just watching it i think the ball was in play <&>3:00 for at least a good good minute or so <,,> having difficulty with that wind er just judging it foxy couldn't quite find touch and er of course tonu replied but er didn't really kick to anywhere in particular so fox has the penalty on his own ten metre mark and kicks down the auckland left wing side so play is on the big grandstand side of the field <,> here at mount smart just a about three minutes gone second half auckland on the left and of course they get the throw to the lineout midway twenty two and halfway in western samoan territory down towards the back and this time brandon jackson gets it and robin brooke going around the back of the lineout wins it second time now they've put it on the deck and they've got it away to fox fox once more trying to slide the kick in behind the defence it's gone down inside the twenty two rolling towards the touchline and over the touchline good kick grant fox <,> he's put auckland back onto the attack inside the twenty two tut yeah good play from foxy just using that wind just nudge it over the er the line of defence and er rolled in the corner fifteen yards out inhales but <.>oz obviously auckland have taken the advice they're winning some <&>4:00 lineout ball they've won three out of the first four lineouts and that's voc the difference at this stage and robin brooke wins two handed ball at the front he's gonna make a big difference out it goes to fox on it goes to clarke straightening it up runs over the twenty two he's got michael jones at his shoulder ball's gone on the ground but auckland in there they're going to win it hewitt gets it auckland away to the RIGHT cut out pass to howarth up from fullback trying to slice his way dummy and through <&>pronounced throw and over for the TRY good try <,,><&>7 well he didn't have the happiest of first halves did shane howarth but he came into the backline just at the right time there <,> he had men outside him he had situtu outside him but they were watching the big fella so he went for the dummy and took the gap through he goes scores about eight metres in from touch <,,> and so auckland HIT the front for the first time in the game what a change they've er had with er daniel manu gone off all of a sudden robin brooke <,> maybe not full fit they think he can last er half a game he comes on he's won two lineouts in a row that was GREAT two handed ball there <&>5:00 in the front of the lineout just shows you his skill the class as an all black <,> he pulled that ball down out it went from jason into eroni clarke took the tackle good second phase here michael jones was out there in a flash and of course they had the numbers out on the right coming in the opposite side and of course they just ran out of numbers and er shane howarth took the gap <,> and dived over in the corner so the try has auckland in front by eleven points to seven and grant fox has the kick in fact he's about six metres in from touch he's placed the ball <,> about two millimetres <,,> outside the twenty two <,,> here he comes in with the kick he's got underneath that a little bit and it's drifting away but no JUST made it inside the lefthand upright great kick great kick from close to the right wing touch for grant fox <&>5:45 <&>return to studio for sports update <&>6:42 now they're on the twenty two western samoan TERRITORY and they're on the big grandstand side of the field but down towards the back it goes and er tatupu wins it for <,> western samoa trying to work it away on the blindside can't do so so they release it to tonu who THUMPS it <&>7:00 downfield that's a big kick down towards the auckland twenty two but it hasn't found touch howarth's there just turns makes a few metres upfield towards the ten metre mark and kicks downfield but er back there is big afa leu'u and decides to have a run up towards the ten metre mark and he's taken some stopping but the referee <{><[>says i think auckland er were off side offside there and so back they'll come for the scrum <,> well howarth fitzpatrick was nowhere near him when er when howarth let go that kick but when he saw <,> er big afa leu'u charging up field it was <,> too much <&>transmission cuts out temptation for sean fitzpatrick he decided he had to have a go at him and he's conceded er not a penalty but a scrum back from er i think where the kick place <[>laughs fitzy we thought he was in the ten metre circle and once he started running he thought he was back in play and was allowed to make the tackle now auckland starting to put some pressure on the samoan scrum but they've WON it and they've got it away on the left to kellett kellett angling the kick in behind the auckland defence and up there is lima and he's grabbed it howarth tackles him around the ankles but there is er ieremia he's been scragged by er situtu takes play inside the twenty two by about six metres and western samoa coming back at auckland now the ball's <&>8:00 gone loose about ten metres in from the touchline western samoa have WON it out it goes to kellett on it goes to er vaega steps back to the left in <.>towa into the forwards he goes and they've put it up er about er fifteen metres in from touch they've <,> in fact they've LOST possession have western samoa auckland coming away with it through hewitt and he kicks up the right wing side of the field puts it out <,,> well brian lima <,> already scored one try in this game now they take the quick throw in do western samoa and they've got it out into the backline long pass goes out to er the replacement player veli patu has come onto the <{><[>field he's lost the ball in midfield though right out in front of the posts about er THIRTY metres out from the goal line and the referee <,> says we will have a <,> SCRUM in midfield and it will be auckland ball now just looking to see <,> it looks like meleisea the fullback <,,> someone's gone off the field pete montgomery might have to er work that out for us pete can you figure out who's come off <[>oh yeah yeah the fullback meleisea is off <&>9:00 so patu <{><[>has come onto the field and he'll be playing at fullback now auckland clear the ball from the scrum howarth in fact comes up and bangs the ball WAY down into the western samoan twenty two and patu going back there can't take it first time but he steps away from situtu then <.>position positions himself for the kick up the touchline and he's put it out about ten metres out from the twenty TWO in western samoan territory <[>meleisea well he hasn't had a really great start has old vile patu he's come on he dropped the ball from that movement before in midfield gave auckland the scrum and from that <,> howarth kicked a good forty or fifty metre kick down field put the samoans under pressure and now of course he just bumbled there but luckily he kept the ball in touch good ball at the front of the lineout for craig dowd and auckland have it they drive up towards the twenty two now they've got it away to fox fox turns it back now to big olo brown who has a charge down the blindside still going inside the twenty two he goes been knocked over the touchline they gave him too much room the big fella he got a head of steam up and he made play about fifteen or twenty metres down field and he's put auckland back inside the twenty two oh good run by olo i don't think i've ever seen him run that far with the ball before he <,,> seemed to only er startle the samoans but also himself <&>9:56
