  <WSC#MUC029:0005:XX>
      out it goes now to FOX

  <WSC#MUC029:0010:XX>
      turns it in field and charging up is <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:0015:XX>
      er dowd takes it to within about twelve metres of the goal line

  <WSC#MUC029:0020:XX>
      forwards in again looking for it in centre field

  <WSC#MUC029:0025:XX>
      auckland they can go EITHER way

  <WSC#MUC029:0030:XX>
      hewitt's in there

  <WSC#MUC029:0035:XX>
      out it goes on the left of FOX trying to step his way through

  <WSC#MUC029:0040:XX>
      now they switch it out in the open side

  <WSC#MUC029:0045:XX>
      they're playing sevens at the moment

  <WSC#MUC029:0050:XX>
      it's been taken in their by CARTER getting it off hewitt
      <drawls>and</drawls> carter goes in and sets it again

  <WSC#MUC029:0055:XX>
      they're right out in front of the goal posts and this time the
      penalty goes against western samoa for being up offside <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:0060:XX>
      so they tried to go left they tried to go right there was no way
      through

  <WSC#MUC029:0065:XX>
      they were firing the ball around

  <WSC#MUC029:0070:XX>
      western samoan backs really standing up in offside position on
      BOTH <&>1:00</&> sides <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:0075:XX>
      and it was just a matter of time before <O>inhales</O> referee
      lindsay mcglauchlin <,> blew his whistle and gives fox <inhales><,></inhales>
      well an even easier kick at goal this time <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:0080:XX>
      I don't suppose any of them are that easy are they but er <.>he's</.>
      <latch></X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0085:AW>
      no he'll <,> he'll get this one i <{><[>i</[> assure you <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0090:XX>

  <WSC#MUC029:0095:XX>
      <O>laughs</O> <latch></X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0100:AW>
      but they ran well there the first time the backline

  <WSC#MUC029:0105:AW>
      they split the er samoans a bit er

  <WSC#MUC029:0110:AW>
      but good er <O>inhales</O> er tackle their from tapu <.>me</.>
      meleisea

  <WSC#MUC029:0115:AW>
      he saved a <O>voc</O> promising movement there on the aucklands
      er side

  <WSC#MUC029:0120:AW>
      and er some good support from the loosies but they just seemed a
      bit disorganised from that ruck ball

  <WSC#MUC029:0125:AW>
      running into each other er

  <WSC#MUC029:0130:AW>
      marc carter running into er olo

  <WSC#MUC029:0135:AW>
      and er <O>inhales</O> just seemed a wee bit disorganised due to
      lay back that ball for jason <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0140:XX>
      fourteen minutes gone here <,> at mount smart

  <WSC#MUC029:0145:XX>
      FOX to the left of the posts

  <WSC#MUC029:0150:XX>
      he's eighteen in from touch inside the twenty two <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:0155:XX>
      getting the raspberry from some sections of the crowd <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:0160:XX>
      i'm sure it's not going to bother HIM <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:0165:XX>
      so as usual he just makes them suffer a little longer now he
      comes in for the kick

  <WSC#MUC029:0170:XX>
      <loudly>no mistake with that one for grant fox</loudly>

  <WSC#MUC029:0175:XX>
      fourteen minutes gone

  <WSC#MUC029:0180:XX>
      auckland in front three nil <&>2:00</&></X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0185:AW>
      yes just reward there

  <WSC#MUC029:0190:AW>
      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

  <WSC#MUC029:0195:AW>
      <O>inhales</O> er all that's the same <?>pressure</?> and
      they've come away with three points

  <WSC#MUC029:0200:AW>
      i'm sure <.>f</.> er fitzy will be happy that at this stage but
      er <O>inhales</O> they'll be definitely be looking forward to
      getting a bit more er continuity in their <.>p</.> in their play
      <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0205:XX>
      back to halfway they come and kellett will kick away to his
      right towards us in the old grandstand and it's been

  <WSC#MUC029:0210:XX>
      oh it's been dropped by jackson and back goes marc carter to
      pick it up tidy up

  <WSC#MUC029:0215:XX>
      does well but he's been put on the deck there by er tatupu
      coming through for western samoa

  <WSC#MUC029:0220:XX>
      they've won the ball

  <WSC#MUC029:0225:XX>
      <loudly>koko in from the blindside</loudly> makes a few metres

  <WSC#MUC029:0230:XX>
      he's gone to the deck but they're gonna win the ball are western
      samoa

  <WSC#MUC029:0235:XX>
      tonu's going in there looking for it has to use the feet <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:0240:XX>
      good thing there's not an australian touch judge

  <WSC#MUC029:0245:XX>
      out it goes <drawls>to</drawls> kellett trying to dance his way
      through

  <WSC#MUC029:0250:XX>
      loses it forward though just as the gap was opening

  <WSC#MUC029:0255:XX>
      and he's been scragged in centre field we'll have the knock on
      just inside the twenty two</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0260:AW>
      yeah good tackle there

  <WSC#MUC029:0265:AW>
      <?>they</?> know mistake from the kickoff um calling there
      between er <&>3:00</&> burtwhistle and <.>bran</.> and er dowdy

  <WSC#MUC029:0270:AW>
      and just got a wee bit disorganised and er put them under some
      pressure <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0275:XX>
      they can relieve now as hewitt gets the ball from the scrum

  <WSC#MUC029:0280:XX>
      out it goes on the RIGHT to

  <WSC#MUC029:0285:XX>
      in fact <loudly><quickly>they're going to run it

  <WSC#MUC029:0290:XX>
      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</quickly></loudly>

  <WSC#MUC029:0295:XX>
      <.>l</.> the fullback meleisea is back there to grab it <drawls>and</drawls>
      has to just toe it over the touch line <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:0300:XX>
      so they opened it out from inside the twenty two <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:0305:XX>
      and they've taken play up to the western samoan ten metre mark
      far side of the FIELD towards the auckland RIGHT

  <WSC#MUC029:0310:XX>
      and it'll be a scrum in fact because meleisea KNOCKED it forward
      on the ten metre mark so an attacking situation for auckland <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:0315:XX>
      a fairly close to the touch line <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:0320:XX>
      pete montgomery how's that scrum setting</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0325:PM>
      oh peter fatialofa's having a real duel here <,> with olo brown

  <WSC#MUC029:0330:PM>
      they're really working on it

  <WSC#MUC029:0335:PM>
      here's jason to feed jason hewitt <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0340:XX>
      feeds the scrum it's been hooked

  <WSC#MUC029:0345:XX>
      jones picks it up off the back makes a couple of metres now he's
      been put on the ground <O>inhales</O>

  <WSC#MUC029:0350:XX>
      going in looking for it is HEWITT

  <WSC#MUC029:0355:XX>
      situtu coming in from the blindside wing

  <WSC#MUC029:0360:XX>
      arrived a little bit too <&>4:00</&> early he's been put on the
      DECK

  <WSC#MUC029:0365:XX>
      and tatupu grabs it for western samoa

  <WSC#MUC029:0370:XX>
      he's getting through a lot of work in the <,> early stages of
      the game

  <WSC#MUC029:0375:XX>
      but he's been penalised now for not releasing the ball i think</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0380:AW>
      yes he just

  <WSC#MUC029:0385:AW>
      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

  <WSC#MUC029:0390:AW>
      and er the boys were a bit slow on top of him

  <WSC#MUC029:0395:AW>
      <{><[>and he</[> got penalised <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0400:XX>
      <[>I think</[></{> touch judge coming onto the field

  <WSC#MUC029:0405:XX>
      penalty's gone to auckland

  <WSC#MUC029:0410:XX>

      there</[> <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0445:XX>
      <[><O>laughs</O></[></{> <laughs>pete's trying to find out what
      happened from the touch judge

  <WSC#MUC029:0450:XX>

  <WSC#MUC029:0455:AW>

  <WSC#MUC029:0460:XX>
      pete <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:0465:XX>

  <WSC#MUC029:0490:PM>
      <O>inhales</O> now that's er <{><[><?>iupeli</?></[> <&>5:00</&>

      player as judged by the TOUCH judge

  <WSC#MUC029:0505:PM>
      who dobbed him in and reported him to lindsay mcglauchlin

  <WSC#MUC029:0510:PM>
      so this is another penalty goal attempt to er grant fox

  <WSC#MUC029:0515:PM>
      incidentally er t j

  <WSC#MUC029:0520:PM>
      a j whetton was right

  <WSC#MUC029:0525:PM>
      marc carter WAS PINGED for lifting earlier on in the match <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0530:XX>

  <WSC#MUC029:0535:AW>
      was marc carter er lifting was he um

  <WSC#MUC029:0540:AW>
      i'll have to have a word to him about that

  <WSC#MUC029:0545:AW>
      loose forwards don't lift <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0550:XX>

  <WSC#MUC029:0555:XX>
      well <,> er how would you describe loose forwards a j

  <WSC#MUC029:0560:XX>

  <WSC#MUC029:0565:AW>
      <[>they're very talented and bright bright</[></{>

  <WSC#MUC029:0570:AW>
      <laughs>pillars of society</laughs>

  <WSC#MUC029:0575:AW>

  <WSC#MUC029:0580:XX>
      <O>laughs</O> <laughs>fox is just at the right of the posts and
      he's about thirty eight</laughs>

  <WSC#MUC029:0585:XX>
      excuse me i just want to clean my ears out here

  <WSC#MUC029:0590:XX>
      fox just to the right of the posts he's about er thirty eight
      metres out <,> from the goal line <&>6:00</&>

  <WSC#MUC029:0595:XX>
      and this should be a fairly straight forward kick

  <WSC#MUC029:0600:XX>
      EIGHteen minutes gone here at mount smart stadium <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:0605:XX>
      <O>tut</O> grant fox with the opportunity to put <&>pronounced
      por</&> auckland in front by SIX nil

  <WSC#MUC029:0610:XX>
      in he comes

  <WSC#MUC029:0615:XX>
      there it goes

  <WSC#MUC029:0620:XX>
      it may just drop short

  <WSC#MUC029:0625:XX>
      <loudly><quickly>hits the bar

  <WSC#MUC029:0630:XX>
      auckland up there after it

  <WSC#MUC029:0635:XX>
      macahill's in there

  <WSC#MUC029:0640:XX>
      he may have spilt it over the goal line

  <WSC#MUC029:0645:XX>
      almost an opportunist try</quickly></loudly></X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0650:AW>
      well done bernie

  <WSC#MUC029:0655:AW>
      he chased that ball

  <WSC#MUC029:0660:AW>
      the only back in the auckland side to chase that

  <WSC#MUC029:0665:AW>
      terry of course was <?>way</?> up on the lefthand side

  <WSC#MUC029:0670:AW>
      but er bernie raced all the way in there

  <WSC#MUC029:0675:AW>
      he just couldn't <.>c</.> hold onto that ball

  <WSC#MUC029:0680:AW>
      that would have been er seven points right under the dot <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0685:XX>
      eight metres out from the goal line defensive scrum for western
      samoa

  <WSC#MUC029:0690:XX>
      and it's starting to go BACKwards as auckland put the shove in

  <WSC#MUC029:0695:XX>
      but tonu comes away

  <WSC#MUC029:0700:XX>
      gets it from kaleopea

  <WSC#MUC029:0705:XX>
      bangs the kick away down the right wing side of the field

  <WSC#MUC029:0710:XX>
      puts it out on the ten metre mark good kick under pressure
      junior <&>6:37</&> <&>radio breaks for an update</&> <&>9:15</&></X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0715:AW>
      well i wouldn't want to be caught between that pete

  <WSC#MUC029:0720:AW>
      um the clash of the titans really

  <WSC#MUC029:0725:AW>
      um a lot of respect er for olo brown of course

  <WSC#MUC029:0730:AW>
      one of the best hookers i i rate in the country at this stage

  <WSC#MUC029:0735:AW>
      and of course peter fatialofa

  <WSC#MUC029:0740:AW>
      well who could deny the big man who lifts pianos er like we lift
      our groceries

  <WSC#MUC029:0745:AW>
      but er no they've been a a great clash there and

  <WSC#MUC029:0750:AW>
      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 <O>tut</O>
      er there's no bars hold <&>for no holds barred</&> is there <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0755:XX>
      i tell you what this is now a game of four quarters as well

  <WSC#MUC029:0760:XX>
      i forgot about that er water break but it's all over now <.>f</.>

  <WSC#MUC029:0765:XX>
      twenty minutes gone here now so we're halfway through the first
      HALF <drawls>at</drawls> mount smart stadium and it's still
      auckland in front just by three <&>10:00</&> points to nil <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:0770:XX>
      auckland DEFINITELY have had the territorial advantage over the
      first quarter of this game

  <WSC#MUC029:0775:XX>
      they've had two shots at goal

  <WSC#MUC029:0780:XX>
      fox successful with <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:0785:XX>
      in fact they've had er three shots at goal

  <WSC#MUC029:0790:XX>
      and fox successful with one of them

  <WSC#MUC029:0795:XX>
      and darren kellett has had one shot at goal for western samoa

  <WSC#MUC029:0800:XX>
      was UNSUCCESSFUL

  <WSC#MUC029:0805:XX>
      now play has restarted midway twenty two and halfway on the
      grandstand side

  <WSC#MUC029:0810:XX>
      the big grandstand side of the field and it's going to be a left
      wing throw for western samoa

  <WSC#MUC029:0815:XX>
      down towards the back and they've got it nicely

  <WSC#MUC029:0820:XX>
      iupeli doing some good work AGAIN down towards the back

  <WSC#MUC029:0825:XX>
      and tonu's going in looking for it <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:0830:XX>
      leasamaivao just trying to wrestle it away

  <WSC#MUC029:0835:XX>
      they <drawls>may</drawls> look to try and ROLL it

  <WSC#MUC029:0840:XX>
      it's steady the maul

  <WSC#MUC029:0845:XX>
      now they go left or try to go left

  <WSC#MUC029:0850:XX>
      can't do that so they come right

  <WSC#MUC029:0855:XX>
      <O>tut</O> they're just inside the ten metre mark <,,> and <,>
      not really going anywhere <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:0860:XX>
      fifteen in from touch <,,> and the ball's gone on the ground

  <WSC#MUC029:0865:XX>
      <loudly><quickly>in fact auckland have won it

  <WSC#MUC029:0870:XX>
      up it <&>11:00</&> goes to CARTER running off the ruck one wide

  <WSC#MUC029:0875:XX>
      up towards the twenty two he goes

  <WSC#MUC029:0880:XX>
      they've put him on the deck</quickly></loudly>

  <WSC#MUC029:0885:XX>
      and leasamaivao's in there maybe preventing the ball coming out

  <WSC#MUC029:0890:XX>
      but the referee said it wasn't intentional

  <WSC#MUC029:0895:XX>
      but auckland couldn't clear it and so western samoa will get to
      feed to the scrum</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0900:AW>
      <O>tut</O> i thought western samoa were very lucky there

  <WSC#MUC029:0905:AW>
      <.>the</.> um er leasamaivao <&>pronounced leasamaivaoli</&>
      should have been penalised for holding onto the ball <unclear>word</unclear>
      marc carter <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0910:XX>
      so western samoa twenty metres in <drawls>from their</drawls>
      left wing touch just out from the twenty two

  <WSC#MUC029:0915:XX>
      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

  <WSC#MUC029:0920:XX>
      that was a fine kick</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0925:AW>
      <[>oh fine kick</[></{>

  <WSC#MUC029:0930:AW>
      there's definitely a bit of wind there helping him

  <WSC#MUC029:0935:AW>
      it must have been a kick of <drawls>good</drawls> forty fifty
      metres <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:0940:XX>
      he's got a very good left foot has young darren kellett <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:0945:XX>
      and the lineout will be <.>e</.> on the main grandstand side of
      the field

  <WSC#MUC029:0950:XX>
      three nil auckland <,> and <,> we're a minute two minutes
      perhaps into the second QUARTER of this game

  <WSC#MUC029:0955:XX>
      it's a right wing throw for auckland

  <WSC#MUC029:0960:XX>
      right on <&>12:00</&> the ten metre mark

  <WSC#MUC029:0965:XX>
      fitzpatrick down towards the back

  <WSC#MUC029:0970:XX>
      but once again western samoa have WON it

  <WSC#MUC029:0975:XX>
      <quickly>out it goes to kellett

  <WSC#MUC029:0980:XX>
      they're going to run it this time

  <WSC#MUC029:0985:XX>
      up it goes to ieremia

  <WSC#MUC029:0990:XX>
      has his first run of the game

  <WSC#MUC029:0995:XX>
      takes play up to the auckland ten metre mark

  <WSC#MUC029:1000:XX>
      forwards have gone in looking for it and they've got it

  <WSC#MUC029:1005:XX>
      they'll go away on the blind

  <WSC#MUC029:1010:XX>
      tonu

  <WSC#MUC029:1015:XX>
      out it goes to lima on the left</quickly>

  <WSC#MUC029:1020:XX>
      gets past situtu the first time but they come across and they
      drag him towards the touchline

  <WSC#MUC029:1025:XX>
      situtu regathers his feet er

  <WSC#MUC029:1030:XX>
      they've WON the ball have they from the ruck

  <WSC#MUC029:1035:XX>
      yes they have

  <WSC#MUC029:1040:XX>
      up it goes to leasamaivao

  <WSC#MUC029:1045:XX>
      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

  <WSC#MUC029:1050:XX>
      now the ruck has gone to the ground and <,> tonu gets it away

  <WSC#MUC029:1055:XX>
      it goes to kellett on the right

  <WSC#MUC029:1060:XX>
      IEREMIA is gonna have another run but macahill nails him

  <WSC#MUC029:1065:XX>
      puts him on the deck

  <WSC#MUC029:1070:XX>
      auckland forwards arrive quicker but they've got it away AGAIN
      have western samoa

  <WSC#MUC029:1075:XX>
      <quickly>out it goes to koko

  <WSC#MUC029:1080:XX>
      tries to kick ahead</quickly>

  <WSC#MUC029:1085:XX>
      it's been partially charged down

  <WSC#MUC029:1090:XX>
      WRIGHT'S in there looking for it for auckland

  <WSC#MUC029:1095:XX>
      it goes over the touchline just inside the auckland ten metre
      mark <,,><&>3</&>

  <WSC#MUC029:1100:XX>
      auckland left wing side

  <WSC#MUC029:1105:XX>
      that's the old grandstand side here at mount smart <,,>
      <&>13:00</&></X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1110:AW>
      first time the samoans have er had a crack out out wide there
      and er good defence from auckland

  <WSC#MUC029:1115:AW>
      my word bernie macahill and eroni clarke

  <WSC#MUC029:1120:AW>
      couple of big hits out there

  <WSC#MUC029:1125:AW>
      they snuffed out that midfield attack their of er <.>v</.> <.>v</.>
      vaega and koko coming in

  <WSC#MUC029:1130:AW>
      and er there was no way through that auckland defence <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1135:XX>
      we've had twenty three minutes of play and we really haven't
      seen the ball going too wide

  <WSC#MUC029:1140:XX>
      <?>there's a</?> couple of good strong runs there from ieremia

  <WSC#MUC029:1145:XX>
      now once AGAIN western samoa have won lineout ball

  <WSC#MUC029:1150:XX>
      out it goes to keldon on the ten metre mark

  <WSC#MUC029:1155:XX>
      <loudly><quickly>auckland puts it high in the air

  <WSC#MUC029:1160:XX>
      this is a big kick

  <WSC#MUC029:1165:XX>
      up goes howarth for it but it's been knocked away from him by
      ieremia following up quickly

  <WSC#MUC029:1170:XX>
      ball's gone on the ground just <.>from</.> out from the auckland
      goal post

  <WSC#MUC029:1175:XX>
      they've got it away out on the right now

  <WSC#MUC029:1180:XX>
      koko's having a go

  <WSC#MUC029:1185:XX>
      he gets it away out on the left of the flanker</quickly></loudly>

  <WSC#MUC029:1190:XX>
      er tatupu's bowled over the touch line

  <WSC#MUC029:1195:XX>
      running in amongst the backs tatupu <&>pronounced tatutu</&></X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1200:AW>
      what a fine tackle by terry wright

  <WSC#MUC029:1205:AW>
      tatupu's a big man a hundred and four kilos and look at the size
      of him

  <WSC#MUC029:1210:AW>
      terry just knocked him down like a piece of straw

  <WSC#MUC029:1215:AW>
      great tackle

  <WSC#MUC029:1220:AW>
      who said this man <.>s</.> can't tackle <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1225:XX>
      i've never said it

  <WSC#MUC029:1230:XX>
      i've always thought he's a marvellous tackie tackle er terry
      wright <&>14:00</&>

  <WSC#MUC029:1235:XX>
      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

  <WSC#MUC029:1240:XX>
      now auckland have won the ball from the scrum

  <WSC#MUC029:1245:XX>
      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

  <WSC#MUC029:1250:XX>
      so auckland just coming under a little bit of pressure here from
      western samoa

  <WSC#MUC029:1255:XX>
      they've got a bit of a roll going <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:1260:XX>
      and auckland have had to defend well</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1265:AW>
      it's tatupu's <&>pronounced tatopu</&> getting a lot of ball at
      the back of the lineout here <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:1270:AW>
      <?>they're</?> steady supply and giving the er western samoans a
      chance to launch some great attacks <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1275:XX>
      western samoa right wing throw just inside the auckland twenty
      two

  <WSC#MUC029:1280:XX>
      oh very good ball for falaniko in the middle of the lineout for
      western samoa

  <WSC#MUC029:1285:XX>
      they're cleaning up there at the moment

  <WSC#MUC029:1290:XX>
      tonu gets it away on his LEFT to kellett

  <WSC#MUC029:1295:XX>
      out it goes to vaega trying to have a run out in the centres

  <WSC#MUC029:1300:XX>
      he's been put on the ground there by CLARKE

  <WSC#MUC029:1305:XX>
      but they've regained it have the western samoan forwards with
      some good loose forward play from er koko coming in from the
      wing

  <WSC#MUC029:1310:XX>
      they've set it up centre field just out from the twenty two

  <WSC#MUC029:1315:XX>
      now they go LEFT to kellett has a stab at a dropkick at goal but
      <&>15:00</&> it's <,> gone under the bar <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:1320:XX>
      good opportunity for a dropkick there

  <WSC#MUC029:1325:XX>
      he was out in front of the posts about thirty out but perhaps
      just rushed it a little

  <WSC#MUC029:1330:XX>
      he had a lot of time <,,> and put it underneath the bar</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1335:AW>
      must give credit to the defence again of auckland

  <WSC#MUC029:1340:AW>
      obviously a bit frustrated

  <WSC#MUC029:1345:AW>
      can't break that initial line and er but <.>e</.> er

  <WSC#MUC029:1350:AW>
      the backing up wasn't quite there <O>tut</O>

  <WSC#MUC029:1355:AW>
      so out of frustration the drop goal <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1360:XX>
      twenty five minutes gone first half

  <WSC#MUC029:1365:XX>
      and fox with the dropkick out towards the old grandstand side
      towards the auckland left

  <WSC#MUC029:1370:XX>
      it's been taken in again by the samoans they're going well at
      the moment

  <WSC#MUC029:1375:XX>
      tonu comes away

  <WSC#MUC029:1380:XX>
      gets away from jackson

  <WSC#MUC029:1385:XX>
      now darts around on the blindside

  <WSC#MUC029:1390:XX>
      no support there though

  <WSC#MUC029:1395:XX>
      and referee says penalty against auckland you're offside</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1400:AW>
      who's that down there

  <WSC#MUC029:1405:AW>
      is that <.>i</.> er leavasa <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1410:XX>
      yeah leavasa the lock

  <WSC#MUC029:1415:XX>
      looks like he's taken a bit of a blow on the thigh <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:1420:XX>
      trainer coming onto the field

  <WSC#MUC029:1425:XX>
      but this is going to be another shot at goal for darren kellett

  <WSC#MUC029:1430:XX>
      now the first one was a fairly nervous attempt <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:1435:XX>
      this time he's got the CHANCE <,> to level the scores <,,>
      <&>16:00</&>

  <WSC#MUC029:1440:XX>
      <{><[>he's</[></X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1445:AW>
      <[>that was</[></{> a great lineout take wasn't it

  <WSC#MUC029:1450:AW>
      he he REALLY got up there <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1455:XX>
      tell you what they've got their <.>o</.> lineout well organised
      at the moment western samoa

  <WSC#MUC029:1460:XX>
      they're certainly shading auckland</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1465:AW>
      they certainly are

  <WSC#MUC029:1470:AW>
      i i i just think they might be having a bit of difficulty with
      that wind out there

  <WSC#MUC029:1475:AW>
      the throws don't seem to be going to the players

  <WSC#MUC029:1480:AW>
      but my word these er samoans

  <WSC#MUC029:1485:AW>
      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</&>

  <WSC#MUC029:1490:PM>
      <?>lokile</?> um

  <WSC#MUC029:1495:PM>
      it is er the prop number three lelau and he is being WARNED

  <WSC#MUC029:1500:PM>
      and even fatialofa came in to restrain his own prop

  <WSC#MUC029:1505:PM>
      and er who is it

  <WSC#MUC029:1510:PM>
      it's michael jones has got no pants now because the prop put his
      boot RIGHT down jones's BUTT

  <WSC#MUC029:1515:PM>
      and er <{1><[1>i think his under knackers are still there but
      certainly his shorts are not er</[1>

  <WSC#MUC029:1520:PM>
      certainly a j whetton talking about the big hits

  <WSC#MUC029:1525:PM>
      they are <&>transmission cuts out</&> colossal hits and they're
      not a cliche

  <WSC#MUC029:1530:PM>
      and the rucking's as tough as a j would've ever had in the south
      island

  <WSC#MUC029:1535:PM>
      BELIEVE me <{2><[2>this is</[2> WAR down here <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1540:X?>
      <[1><O>laughs</O></[1></{1></X> <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1545:XX>
      <[2><unclear>word</unclear></[2></{2>

  <WSC#MUC029:1550:XX>
      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 <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:1555:XX>
      we're looking at them <,> right to left auckland playing in the
      first half

  <WSC#MUC029:1560:XX>
      the scores seven three western samoa

  <WSC#MUC029:1565:XX>
      western samoa with the wind <&>20:00</&> at their backs <,,> in
      the first half

  <WSC#MUC029:1570:XX>
      and in towards the front of the lineout it goes

  <WSC#MUC029:1575:XX>
      it's been knocked back untidily on the western samoan side
      tidying up

  <WSC#MUC029:1580:XX>
      <loudly><quickly>and a lovely kick and run through <?>junior
      tonuu</?>

  <WSC#MUC029:1585:XX>
      up towards halfway he goes

  <WSC#MUC029:1590:XX>
      big peter fatialofa's there

  <WSC#MUC029:1595:XX>
      DRIVES it over the ten metre mark and the crowd come to their
      feet again

  <WSC#MUC029:1600:XX>
      the samoans PUSH auckland back towards their own</quickly></loudly>
      twenty two metre mark

  <WSC#MUC029:1605:XX>
      auckland look like they've regained it again and auckland have
      won it

  <WSC#MUC029:1610:XX>
      in fact out it goes to fox steps onto his left foot and bangs it
      back up the touchline</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1615:AW>
      oh dangerous

  <WSC#MUC029:1620:AW>
      he may look dangerous there

  <WSC#MUC029:1625:AW>
      <?>it all</?> started aGAIN from the lineout <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:1630:AW>
      auckland are getting TOTALLY dominated in this area here

  <WSC#MUC029:1635:AW>
      bad ball back to the er samoan halfback though

  <WSC#MUC029:1640:AW>
      and my word didn't er tonu GO

  <WSC#MUC029:1645:AW>
      beautiful couple of sidesteps away he went

  <WSC#MUC029:1650:AW>
      linked up with fatialofa

  <WSC#MUC029:1655:AW>
      big steam on him

  <WSC#MUC029:1660:AW>
      he got tackled and of course just a wee bit of sloppy play

  <WSC#MUC029:1665:AW>
      lost the ball in the tackle <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1670:XX>
      and towards the middle of the lineout and once it again it
      <quickly>comes back to tonu for western samoa

  <WSC#MUC029:1675:XX>
      out it goes to kellett

  <WSC#MUC029:1680:XX>
      ieremia running straight up the middle

  <WSC#MUC029:1685:XX>
      he's popped off bernie macahill

  <WSC#MUC029:1690:XX>
      up to the twenty two he goes

  <WSC#MUC029:1695:XX>
      they're looking dangerous again <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:1700:XX>
      they've finally put the ball on the deck of auckland <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:1705:XX>
      western samoan forwards in there <unclear>word</unclear>

  <WSC#MUC029:1710:XX>
      good <&>21:00</&> work from carter but he's been penalised <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:1715:XX>
      you were offside says referee lindsay mcglauchlin

  <WSC#MUC029:1720:XX>
      here's another shot at goal for kellett</quickly></X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1725:AW>
      oh i think that would've been quite a <?>relief</?> to give away
      a penalty there

  <WSC#MUC029:1730:AW>
      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

  <WSC#MUC029:1735:AW>
      good play from <,> marc carter

  <WSC#MUC029:1740:AW>
      he covers some <,> big ground and michael jones to get there to
      try and snaffle that attack <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:1745:AW>
      and my word they are looking dangerous at the moment <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1750:XX>
      well ilama ieremia has had a couple of runs

  <WSC#MUC029:1755:XX>
      and first one he had macahill grabbed him <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:1760:XX>
      second one he managed to fend him off and that time he just
      BUMPED him off</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1765:AW>
      oh he bumped him off

  <WSC#MUC029:1770:AW>
      i tell you what these er er peter fatialofa's got these boys
      revved up now

  <WSC#MUC029:1775:AW>
      just that opportunist try just seemed to pick them up and
      they're in er in second gear at the moment

  <WSC#MUC029:1780:AW>
      and they're taking the game to the aucklanders <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1785:XX>
      five minutes to go before halftime here at mount smart stadium

  <WSC#MUC029:1790:XX>
      and darren kellett will have the shot at goal

  <WSC#MUC029:1795:XX>
      once again it's on the angle

  <WSC#MUC029:1800:XX>
      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

  <WSC#MUC029:1805:XX>
      and he's <&>22:00</&> just inside the twenty two <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:1810:XX>
      kellett so far <,,> one successful kick and it was a good one
      too wide angle conversion of the try by brian lima <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:1815:XX>
      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 <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:1820:XX>
      kellett <,,> steadies

  <WSC#MUC029:1825:XX>
      now in he comes

  <WSC#MUC029:1830:XX>
      we get a good look at this one

  <WSC#MUC029:1835:XX>
      <loudly><quickly>there's the kick

  <WSC#MUC029:1840:XX>
      hits the post and bounces back in field

  <WSC#MUC029:1845:XX>
      but up comes lima

  <WSC#MUC029:1850:XX>
      can't grab it but they've got it away on the left still

  <WSC#MUC029:1855:XX>
      oh beautiful tackle over on the far side

  <WSC#MUC029:1860:XX>
      we'll pick that up in a moment</quickly></loudly> as auckland
      came through and er snuffed out the scoring chance

  <WSC#MUC029:1865:XX>
      <drawls>and</drawls> coming away with it <drawls>is</drawls>
      jason hewitt

  <WSC#MUC029:1870:XX>
      bangs it up the touchline <,,><&>3</&></X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1875:AW>
      wosaki situtu <&>pronounced sitotu</&> i think that was <?>or</?>
      eroni

  <WSC#MUC029:1880:AW>
      did a MARVELLOUS tackle there <&>22:35</&> <&>break to studio
      for sports update</&> <&>23:21</&>

  <WSC#MUC029:1885:PM>
      <?>clarke</?> pulled off that colossal <unclear>word</unclear>

  <WSC#MUC029:1890:PM>
      here is a western samoan attack again <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1895:XX>
      yes it is

  <WSC#MUC029:1900:XX>
      er iupeli driving away from the front of the lineout but he's
      spilled the ball forward

  <WSC#MUC029:1905:XX>
      eroni clarke you say pete</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:1910:PM>
      definitely it was him

  <WSC#MUC029:1915:PM>
      look <,> there's no love lost between these fellows

  <WSC#MUC029:1920:PM>
      it's unBELIEVEable the king hits

  <WSC#MUC029:1925:PM>
      and er eroni clarke has pulled off the tackle of the match so
      far

  <WSC#MUC029:1930:PM>
      it's certainly snuffed out any opportunity <.>samo</.> western
      samoa had

  <WSC#MUC029:1935:AW>
      is the try on there pete or have the um <{><[><unclear>word</unclear>
      <?>ball</?> <unclear>word</unclear></[>

  <WSC#MUC029:1940:PM>
      <[>yes i think so</[></{> a j definitely

  <WSC#MUC029:1945:PM>
      the thing that i'd like your analysis at halftime is

  <WSC#MUC029:1950:PM>
      if these fellows have been halfway round the world

  <WSC#MUC029:1955:PM>
      that is to play natal and ALSO to play in the the world sevens

  <WSC#MUC029:1960:PM>
      here they <.>g</.> are coming back <&>24:00</&> supposedly <.>s</.>
      er suffering from jetlag

  <WSC#MUC029:1965:PM>
      they've got spring in their step

  <WSC#MUC029:1970:PM>
      how on earth are auckland going to take on natal and transvaal

  <WSC#MUC029:1975:PM>
      by the way there's an injury folks so we're not missing any play
      at the moment

  <WSC#MUC029:1980:PM>
      a j now i mean auckland and you know these fellas well

  <WSC#MUC029:1985:PM>
      where do they go from here

  <WSC#MUC029:1990:AW>
      well i think they've just really got to just take stock

  <WSC#MUC029:1995:AW>
      i think er fitzy'll be looking forward to halftime

  <WSC#MUC029:2000:AW>
      just about gonna start play again

  <WSC#MUC029:2005:AW>
      er and really just er take <.>t</.> things easy

  <WSC#MUC029:2010:AW>
      take a big breath and um they'll have the wind in the second
      half

  <WSC#MUC029:2015:AW>
      they've just got to slow things down but basically they've got
      to get some ball peter

  <WSC#MUC029:2020:AW>
      i've just counted a quick count er

  <WSC#MUC029:2025:AW>
      one lineout auckland have won out of the last TEN

  <WSC#MUC029:2030:AW>
      and they're just not getting enough ball and of course hence the
      pressure from the western samoans <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:2035:XX>
      the injury to iupeli <drawls>and</drawls> he's okay

  <WSC#MUC029:2040:XX>
      so they'll set the SCRUM midway twenty two and ten metre mark
      towards the far side of the field pete</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:2045:PM>
      you would expect robin brooke to come on in the second half
      trust me <{><[><O>laughs</O></[> <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:2050:XX>
      <[>okay</[></{>

  <WSC#MUC029:2055:XX>
      and the ball goes to the scrum <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:2060:XX>
      hewitt's got it for auckland as fitzpatrick hooks it

  <WSC#MUC029:2065:XX>
      and he puts the kick high up towards halfway

  <WSC#MUC029:2070:XX>
      coming in from the left wing to take it is lima

  <WSC#MUC029:2075:XX>
      does so

  <WSC#MUC029:2080:XX>
      <quickly>and he manages to get away from situtu

  <WSC#MUC029:2085:XX>
      gets it up towards halfway</quickly>

  <WSC#MUC029:2090:XX>
      but now they've put him on the <&>25:00</&> deck

  <WSC#MUC029:2095:XX>
      been flicked up <drawls>and</drawls> it's come out into the
      western samoan backline

  <WSC#MUC029:2100:XX>
      too vaega putting a kick in towards the right wing side of the
      field <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:2105:XX>
      and in fact he's put it out <,> on the ten metre mark

  <WSC#MUC029:2110:XX>
      so they're driven back into their own half are auckland</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:2115:AW>
      good play there by brian lima

  <WSC#MUC029:2120:AW>
      they're certainly getting off the ground now aren't they

  <WSC#MUC029:2125:AW>
      and er good aerial football stuff from the er v f l over in
      australia

  <WSC#MUC029:2130:AW>
      and right off the ground there taking that ball in the air

  <WSC#MUC029:2135:AW>
      and er again he snuffed out a dangerous er attack from auckland
      <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:2140:XX>
      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

  <WSC#MUC029:2145:XX>
      down towards the back it goes

  <WSC#MUC029:2150:XX>
      michael jones has a swat at it <quickly>but once again it's been
      taken by tatupu driving away furiously from the back of the
      lineout</quickly>

  <WSC#MUC029:2155:XX>
      UP almost to the twenty two

  <WSC#MUC029:2160:XX>
      tonu's been scragged but he gets away from the tackle

  <WSC#MUC029:2165:XX>
      they've got numbers out to the right but

  <WSC#MUC029:2170:XX>
      oh good tackle from daniel manu there as er tonu went around <.>to</.>
      towards the short side

  <WSC#MUC029:2175:XX>
      now they've set it up in midfield but they've got it away again
      to out into the er western samoan backs

  <WSC#MUC029:2180:XX>
      and er ieremia tries to have a run again up towards the twenty
      two but they've put him on the ground <O>inhales</O>

  <WSC#MUC029:2185:XX>
      looks like the western samoan forwards just a little bit slow to
      arrive at this one

  <WSC#MUC029:2190:XX>
      and they may struggle to <&>26:00</&> clear it

  <WSC#MUC029:2195:XX>
      the referee thinks he can see it in there so he's gonna let it
      GO

  <WSC#MUC029:2200:XX>
      now they're in CENTRE field

  <WSC#MUC029:2205:XX>
      tonu gets it away on the right

  <WSC#MUC029:2210:XX>
      lima comes in

  <WSC#MUC029:2215:XX>
      chips the ball ahead

  <WSC#MUC029:2220:XX>
      coming in from the right <.>wi</.> from the left wing side of
      the field but reading it well is howarth

  <WSC#MUC029:2225:XX>
      and he BANGS the ball back down towards

  <WSC#MUC029:2230:XX>
      that's a huge kick down towards the western samoan twenty two

  <WSC#MUC029:2235:XX>
      oh it doesn't roll over the touchline though

  <WSC#MUC029:2240:XX>
      <drawls>and</drawls> it's er meleisea the fullback who has to
      just run it over the touchline eventually <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:2245:XX>
      managed to make a FEW metres and took play up towards the ten
      metre mark

  <WSC#MUC029:2250:XX>
      but well spotted <drawls>there</drawls> by shane howarth because
      <,> it was a fairly <.>inech</.> <.>ina</.> ineffectual chip
      through by lima

  <WSC#MUC029:2255:XX>
      he read it well and saw that there was noone home <drawls>on the</drawls>
      left for western samoa

  <WSC#MUC029:2260:XX>
      so he BANGED it down into open space

  <WSC#MUC029:2265:XX>
      so auckland have an attacking lineout midway twenty two and
      halfway <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:2270:XX>
      and fitzpatrick on the auckland RIGHT

  <WSC#MUC029:2275:XX>
      down towards jackson at the back and <.>i</.>

  <WSC#MUC029:2280:XX>
      once again it's untidy ball and fatialofa grabs it for western
      samoa

  <WSC#MUC029:2285:XX>
      but jones has done BRILLIANTLY to get it back for auckland

  <WSC#MUC029:2290:XX>
      CARTER driving it away

  <WSC#MUC029:2295:XX>
      up towards the twenty two they go

  <WSC#MUC029:2300:XX>
      about eighteen in from the far touch

  <WSC#MUC029:2305:XX>
      out it goes now to fox

  <WSC#MUC029:2310:XX>
      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

  <WSC#MUC029:2315:XX>
      auckland forwards arriving there

  <WSC#MUC029:2320:XX>
      the ball's been tied up in a KNOT midway twenty two and halfway
      but they've got it out

  <WSC#MUC029:2325:XX>
      HEWITT

  <WSC#MUC029:2330:XX>
      out it goes to FOX

  <WSC#MUC029:2335:XX>
      out it goes to situtu

  <WSC#MUC029:2340:XX>
      <loudly><quickly>they've got numbers out on the right

  <WSC#MUC029:2345:XX>
      howarth up from fullback

  <WSC#MUC029:2350:XX>
      here's a chance out on the right for CARTER playing out on the
      wing

  <WSC#MUC029:2355:XX>
      trying to dummy his way through

  <WSC#MUC029:2360:XX>
      he's up towards the corner flag</quickly></loudly> but he's been
      put on the ground about eight metres out from the goal line

  <WSC#MUC029:2365:XX>
      auckland forwards arriving <drawls>and</drawls> they've got it

  <WSC#MUC029:2370:XX>
      HEWITT

  <WSC#MUC029:2375:XX>
      he just flicks it up

  <WSC#MUC029:2380:XX>
      one off the ruck to dowd has a charge up towards the post

  <WSC#MUC029:2385:XX>
      now they've put the ball on the ground and auckland have control
      of it

  <WSC#MUC029:2390:XX>
      PENALTY <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:2395:XX>
      penalty against western samoa

  <WSC#MUC029:2400:XX>
      now there's a couple of players lying on the ground and i think
      one of them <,> <drawls>is</drawls> falaniko the big lock</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:2405:AW>
      er yes it is <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:2410:XX>
      and he doesn't look too flash at all

  <WSC#MUC029:2415:XX>
      here's a shot at goal for grant fox though just to the right of
      the posts <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:2420:XX>
      and er looks like er he's coming off the field

  <WSC#MUC029:2425:XX>
      pete montgomery</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:2430:PM>
      yeah and peter fatialofa as well

  <WSC#MUC029:2435:PM>
      er there's a whole bunch of blood off er the locks' face at the
      moment

  <WSC#MUC029:2440:PM>
      he's got er had a bad knock <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:2445:PM>
      i'm not allowed on the field anymore tony

  <WSC#MUC029:2450:PM>
      i've been given the official reprimand so i'll just have to <{><[>wait
      a minute</[> <&>28:00</&> <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:2455:XX>
      <[><O>laughs</O></[></{>

  <WSC#MUC029:2460:XX>
      oh his eyesight and his <.>ear</.> <O>voc</O> his hearings er
      good enough anyway

  <WSC#MUC029:2465:XX>
      pete you just keep up that good eavesdropping you're doing down
      there on the touchline

  <WSC#MUC029:2470:XX>
      but er <,> yep falaniko comes off the field and pete said peter
      fatialofa getting some attention as well

  <WSC#MUC029:2475:XX>
      we'll wait and see if there's a replacement

  <WSC#MUC029:2480:XX>
      but <O>inhales</O> time almost up in the first half and grant
      fox has a chance to close the gap to just one point <O>tut</O>

  <WSC#MUC029:2485:XX>
      he's JUST to the right of the posts

  <WSC#MUC029:2490:XX>
      inside the twenty two shouldn't have any problems with this one
      FOX <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:2495:XX>
      one out of three so far <,,><&>3</&>

  <WSC#MUC029:2500:XX>
      he steadies

  <WSC#MUC029:2505:XX>
      taking his time

  <WSC#MUC029:2510:XX>
      wants to make THIS one count just before halftime

  <WSC#MUC029:2515:XX>
      here he goes

  <WSC#MUC029:2520:XX>
      <loudly>and up go the flags</loudly> <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:2525:XX>
      seven six the score

  <WSC#MUC029:2530:XX>
      and that is halftime here at mount smart stadium

  <WSC#MUC029:2535:XX>
      western samoa leading by seven points to six

  <WSC#MUC029:2540:XX>
      TWO penalties to grant fox for AUCKLAND

  <WSC#MUC029:2545:XX>
      for western samoa a try by brian lima converted by Kellett

  <WSC#MUC029:2550:XX>
      it's been an action PACKED first half here</X> <&>28:56</&> <&>return
      to station for advertisements</&> <&>side two</&> <&>0:11</&>
      <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:2555:XX>
      for the first time in the GAME he's thirty five metres OUT

  <WSC#MUC029:2560:XX>
      he's looking RIGHT down the middle of the posts in centre field
      <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:2565:XX>
      seven six at the moment it is <,> to <,> western samoa

  <WSC#MUC029:2570:XX>
      and <,> we're just <,> a minute or so <drawls>into</drawls> <,,>
      the <drawls>second half</drawls> here <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:2575:XX>
      so FOX moves in

  <WSC#MUC029:2580:XX>
      here's the kick to put <{1><[1>auckland</[1> in front and

  <WSC#MUC029:2585:XX>
      <{2><[2>oh it's</[2> flagged away again</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:2590:AW>
      <[1>looks good</[1></{1>

  <WSC#MUC029:2595:AW>
      <[2>missed</[2></{2>

  <WSC#MUC029:2600:AW>
      oh that would've been another bit of liquid i would've lost er
      if i'd taken the bet tony <,> <{><[><O>voc</O></[> <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:2605:XX>
      <[>i think</[></{> we'd better join gamblers anonymous <,>
      because we wouldn't make too much money here this afternoon alan

  <WSC#MUC029:2610:XX>
      i <,> would've backed fox to to put that one over NORMALLY

  <WSC#MUC029:2615:XX>
      he's thirty five metres out and he was bang in front and he had
      the wind at wind at <{><[>his back</[></X>

  <WSC#MUC029:2620:AW>
      <[>dead right</[></{>

  <WSC#MUC029:2625:AW>
      i mean that's ninety nine percent sure as far as i'm concerned

  <WSC#MUC029:2630:AW>
      but er <,,> he'll be er feeling that one <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:2635:XX>
      so kellett kicks away to his right

  <WSC#MUC029:2640:XX>
      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

  <WSC#MUC029:2645:XX>
      and they've regained the ball it looks <drawls>from</drawls> the
      dropkick out on the ten metre mark

  <WSC#MUC029:2650:XX>
      western samoan territory

  <WSC#MUC029:2655:XX>
      they're fifteen metres in from touch on the far side of the
      field <quickly>and they've won a penalty</quickly></X>

  <WSC#MUC029:2660:AW>
      yeah good chasing there from the er the new boy too

  <WSC#MUC029:2665:AW>
      er lemamease'a came up and took the ball and all and rolled er
      dowdie with the ball

  <WSC#MUC029:2670:AW>
      so the er samoans had a advantage with the ball coming on their
      side <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:2675:XX>
      so the penalty er awarded just about six metres in from touch
      far side of the field

  <WSC#MUC029:2680:XX>
      western samoan right

  <WSC#MUC029:2685:XX>
      and darren kellett <,> thumps it down field takes play into
      auckland territory by about eleven metres <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:2690:XX>
      seven six the score at halftime western samoa <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:2695:XX>
      seven six it remains with fox missing that first kick

  <WSC#MUC029:2700:XX>
      now auckland win the ball from the back of the lineout

  <WSC#MUC029:2705:XX>
      michael jones getting some good work done there <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:2710:XX>
      play's gone to ground on the ten metre mark

  <WSC#MUC029:2715:XX>
      auckland backs out to the RIGHT inside their own half and fox
      slides the kick in behind the defence

  <WSC#MUC029:2720:XX>
      but coming up and reading it well <,> is meleisea the fullback

  <WSC#MUC029:2725:XX>
      moves up towards the ten <&>2:00</&> metre mark in his own
      territory and

  <WSC#MUC029:2730:XX>
      oh it's <,> misREAD by SHANE HOWARTH

  <WSC#MUC029:2735:XX>
      let it bounce and it went behind him so grant fox has to go back
      and tidy up

  <WSC#MUC029:2740:XX>
      <{><[>puts the kick down</[> the touchline

  <WSC#MUC029:2745:XX>
      he hasn't found touch

  <WSC#MUC029:2750:XX>
      <loudly><quickly>tonu's back on his own ten metre mark

  <WSC#MUC029:2755:XX>
      he can open it up</quickly></loudly> <,> or he can put it high
      in the air

  <WSC#MUC029:2760:XX>
      puts the chip kick over the top

  <WSC#MUC029:2765:XX>
      going back there is robin brooke in cover defence and er moves
      away to his left

  <WSC#MUC029:2770:XX>
      makes some ground up towards the auckland ten metre mark in
      centre field

  <WSC#MUC029:2775:XX>
      now they've gone to ground and hewitt puts the ball into open
      spaces <drawls>with</drawls> the fullback out of position

  <WSC#MUC029:2780:XX>
      going back there koko just out from his twenty two turns and
      with the left foot puts the ball <,> down field

  <WSC#MUC029:2785:XX>
      going back there in cover defence is michael jones who drops it
      behind him

  <WSC#MUC029:2790:XX>
      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

  <WSC#MUC029:2795:XX>
      ball's gone to the ground

  <WSC#MUC029:2800:XX>
      forwards in there looking for it <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:2805:XX>
      and auckland try to work it back

  <WSC#MUC029:2810:XX>
      they're on their own ten metre mark about er twelve metres in
      from touch

  <WSC#MUC029:2815:XX>
      and penalty against western samoa</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:2820:AW>
      <[><unclear>word</unclear></[></{>

  <WSC#MUC029:2825:AW>
      <O>tut</O> yes a long period of play there

  <WSC#MUC029:2830:AW>
      i'm tired just watching it

  <WSC#MUC029:2835:AW>
      i think the ball was in play <&>3:00</&> for at least a good
      good minute or so <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:2840:AW>
      having difficulty with that wind

  <WSC#MUC029:2845:AW>
      er just judging it foxy couldn't quite find touch

  <WSC#MUC029:2850:AW>
      and er of course tonu replied but er didn't really kick to
      anywhere in particular <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:2855:XX>
      so fox has the penalty on his own ten metre mark and kicks down
      the auckland left wing side

  <WSC#MUC029:2860:XX>
      so play is on the big grandstand side of the field <,> here at
      mount smart

  <WSC#MUC029:2865:XX>
      just a about three minutes gone second half

  <WSC#MUC029:2870:XX>
      auckland on the left and of course they get the throw to the
      lineout

  <WSC#MUC029:2875:XX>
      midway twenty two <drawls>and</drawls> halfway in western samoan
      territory down

  <WSC#MUC029:2880:XX>
      towards the back

  <WSC#MUC029:2885:XX>
      and this time brandon jackson gets it

  <WSC#MUC029:2890:XX>
      and robin brooke going around the back of the lineout wins it
      second time

  <WSC#MUC029:2895:XX>
      now they've put it on the deck and they've got it away to fox

  <WSC#MUC029:2900:XX>
      fox once more trying to slide the kick in behind the defence

  <WSC#MUC029:2905:XX>
      it's gone down inside the twenty two

  <WSC#MUC029:2910:XX>
      <quickly>rolling towards the touchline and over the touchline</quickly>

  <WSC#MUC029:2915:XX>
      good kick grant fox <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:2920:XX>
      he's put auckland back onto the attack inside the twenty two</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:2925:AW>
      <O>tut</O> yeah good play from foxy just using that wind

  <WSC#MUC029:2930:AW>
      just nudge it over the er the line of defence and er rolled in
      the corner fifteen yards out <O>inhales</O>

  <WSC#MUC029:2935:AW>
      but <.>oz</.> obviously auckland have taken the advice

  <WSC#MUC029:2940:AW>
      they're winning some <&>4:00</&> lineout ball

  <WSC#MUC029:2945:AW>
      they've won three out of the first four lineouts and that's <O>voc</O>
      the difference at this stage <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:2950:XX>
      and robin brooke wins two handed ball at the front

  <WSC#MUC029:2955:XX>
      <quickly>he's gonna make a big difference</quickly>

  <WSC#MUC029:2960:XX>
      out it goes to fox

  <WSC#MUC029:2965:XX>
      on it goes to clarke straightening it up

  <WSC#MUC029:2970:XX>
      runs over the twenty two

  <WSC#MUC029:2975:XX>
      he's got michael jones at his shoulder

  <WSC#MUC029:2980:XX>
      ball's gone on the ground but auckland in there they're going to
      win it

  <WSC#MUC029:2985:XX>
      hewitt gets it

  <WSC#MUC029:2990:XX>
      auckland away to the RIGHT

  <WSC#MUC029:2995:XX>
      cut out pass to <loudly>howarth up from fullback trying to slice
      his way

  <WSC#MUC029:3000:XX>
      dummy and through <&>pronounced throw</&> and over for the TRY</loudly></X>

  <WSC#MUC029:3005:AW>
      good try <,,><&>7</&> <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:3010:XX>
      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 <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:3015:XX>
      he had men outside him

  <WSC#MUC029:3020:XX>
      he had situtu outside him but they were watching the big fella

  <WSC#MUC029:3025:XX>
      so he went for the dummy and took the gap through he goes

  <WSC#MUC029:3030:XX>
      scores about eight metres in from touch <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:3035:XX>
      and so auckland HIT the front for the first time in the game</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:3040:AW>
      what a change they've er had with er daniel manu gone off

  <WSC#MUC029:3045:AW>
      all of a sudden robin brooke <,> maybe not full fit

  <WSC#MUC029:3050:AW>
      they think he can last er half a game

  <WSC#MUC029:3055:AW>
      he comes on

  <WSC#MUC029:3060:AW>
      he's won two lineouts in a row

  <WSC#MUC029:3065:AW>
      that was GREAT two handed ball there <&>5:00</&> in the front of
      the lineout

  <WSC#MUC029:3070:AW>
      just shows you his skill

  <WSC#MUC029:3075:AW>
      the class as an all black <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:3080:AW>
      he pulled that ball down

  <WSC#MUC029:3085:AW>
      out it went from jason into eroni clarke

  <WSC#MUC029:3090:AW>
      took the tackle

  <WSC#MUC029:3095:AW>
      good second phase here

  <WSC#MUC029:3100:AW>
      michael jones was out there in a flash

  <WSC#MUC029:3105:AW>
      and of course they had the numbers out on the right coming in
      the opposite side

  <WSC#MUC029:3110:AW>
      and of course they just ran out of numbers

  <WSC#MUC029:3115:AW>
      and er shane howarth took the gap <,> and dived over in the
      corner <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:3120:XX>
      so the try has auckland in front by eleven points to seven

  <WSC#MUC029:3125:XX>
      and grant fox has the kick

  <WSC#MUC029:3130:XX>
      in fact he's about six metres in from touch

  <WSC#MUC029:3135:XX>
      he's placed the ball <,> about two millimetres <,,> outside the
      twenty two <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:3140:XX>
      here he comes in <drawls>with</drawls> the kick

  <WSC#MUC029:3145:XX>
      he's got underneath that a little bit and it's drifting away

  <WSC#MUC029:3150:XX>
      but no

  <WSC#MUC029:3155:XX>
      JUST made it inside the lefthand upright</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:3160:AW>
      great kick <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:3165:XX>
      great kick from close to the right wing touch for grant fox</X>
      <&>5:45</&> <&>return to studio for sports update</&>
      <&>6:42</&> <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:3170:XX>
      now they're on the twenty two western samoan TERRITORY

  <WSC#MUC029:3175:XX>
      and they're on the big grandstand side of the field

  <WSC#MUC029:3180:XX>
      but down towards the back it goes and er tatupu wins it for <,>
      western samoa

  <WSC#MUC029:3185:XX>
      trying to work it away on the blindside

  <WSC#MUC029:3190:XX>
      can't do so

  <WSC#MUC029:3195:XX>
      so they release it to tonu who THUMPS it <&>7:00</&> downfield

  <WSC#MUC029:3200:XX>
      that's a big kick down towards the auckland twenty two but it
      hasn't found touch

  <WSC#MUC029:3205:XX>
      howarth's there

  <WSC#MUC029:3210:XX>
      just turns makes a few metres upfield towards the ten metre mark
      and kicks downfield

  <WSC#MUC029:3215:XX>
      but er back there is big afa leu'u

  <WSC#MUC029:3220:XX>
      <quickly>and decides to have a run up towards the ten metre mark</quickly>

  <WSC#MUC029:3225:XX>
      and <laughs>he's taken some stopping</laughs>

  <WSC#MUC029:3230:XX>
      but the referee <{><[>says i think auckland er were</[> off
      <laughs>side offside there

  <WSC#MUC029:3235:XX>
      and so back they'll come for the scrum</laughs> <,>

  <WSC#MUC029:3240:XX>
      well howarth

  <WSC#MUC029:3245:XX>
      fitzpatrick was nowhere near him when er when howarth let go
      that kick

  <WSC#MUC029:3250:XX>
      but when he saw <,> er big afa leu'u charging up field

  <WSC#MUC029:3255:XX>
      it was <,> <drawls>too much <&>transmission cuts out</&> <?>temptation</?></drawls>
      for sean fitzpatrick

  <WSC#MUC029:3260:XX>
      he decided he had to have a go at him

  <WSC#MUC029:3265:XX>
      and he's conceded er not a penalty but a scrum back from er i
      think where the kick place</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:3270:AW>
      <[><O>laughs</O> fitzy</[></{>

  <WSC#MUC029:3275:AW>
      we thought he was in the ten metre circle

  <WSC#MUC029:3280:AW>
      and once he started running he thought he was back in play and
      was allowed to make the tackle <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:3285:XX>
      now auckland starting to put some pressure on the samoan scrum

  <WSC#MUC029:3290:XX>
      but they've WON it and they've got it away on the left to
      kellett

  <WSC#MUC029:3295:XX>
      kellett angling the kick in behind the auckland defence

  <WSC#MUC029:3300:XX>
      <loudly><quickly>and up there is lima and he's grabbed it

  <WSC#MUC029:3305:XX>
      howarth tackles him around the ankles

  <WSC#MUC029:3310:XX>
      but there is er ieremia

  <WSC#MUC029:3315:XX>
      he's been scragged by er situtu

  <WSC#MUC029:3320:XX>
      takes play inside the twenty two by about six metres

  <WSC#MUC029:3325:XX>
      and western samoa coming back at auckland now</quickly></loudly>

  <WSC#MUC029:3330:XX>
      the ball's <&>8:00</&> gone loose about ten metres in from the
      touchline

  <WSC#MUC029:3335:XX>
      western samoa <drawls>have</drawls> WON it

  <WSC#MUC029:3340:XX>
      out it goes to kellett

  <WSC#MUC029:3345:XX>
      on it goes to er vaega

  <WSC#MUC029:3350:XX>
      steps back to the left

  <WSC#MUC029:3355:XX>
      in <.>towa</.> into the forwards he goes and they've put it up
      er about er fifteen metres in from touch

  <WSC#MUC029:3360:XX>
      they've <,> in fact they've LOST possession <drawls>have</drawls>
      western samoa

  <WSC#MUC029:3365:XX>
      auckland coming away with it through hewitt

  <WSC#MUC029:3370:XX>
      <drawls>and</drawls> he kicks up the right wing side of the
      field

  <WSC#MUC029:3375:XX>
      puts it out <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:3380:XX>
      well brian lima <,> already scored one try in this game

  <WSC#MUC029:3385:XX>
      now they take the quick throw in do western samoa and they've
      got it out into the backline

  <WSC#MUC029:3390:XX>
      <drawls>long</drawls> pass goes out to er the replacement player
      veli patu has come onto the <{><[>field</[>

  <WSC#MUC029:3395:XX>
      he's lost the ball in midfield though right out in front of the
      posts about er THIRTY metres out from the goal line

  <WSC#MUC029:3400:XX>
      and the referee <,> says we will have a <,> SCRUM in midfield

  <WSC#MUC029:3405:XX>
      and it will be auckland ball

  <WSC#MUC029:3410:XX>
      now just looking to see <,> it looks like meleisea the fullback
      <,,>

  <WSC#MUC029:3415:XX>
      someone's gone off the field

  <WSC#MUC029:3420:XX>
      pete montgomery might have to er work that out for us

  <WSC#MUC029:3425:XX>
      pete can you figure out who's come off</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:3430:AW>
      <[><drawls>oh</drawls></[></{>

  <WSC#MUC029:3435:PM>
      yeah yeah the fullback meleisea is off <&>9:00</&> <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:3440:XX>
      so patu <{><[>has come</[> onto the field

  <WSC#MUC029:3445:XX>
      and he'll be playing at fullback

  <WSC#MUC029:3450:XX>
      now auckland clear the ball from the scrum

  <WSC#MUC029:3455:XX>
      howarth in fact comes up and bangs the ball WAY down into the
      western samoan twenty two

  <WSC#MUC029:3460:XX>
      and patu going back there

  <WSC#MUC029:3465:XX>
      can't take it first time

  <WSC#MUC029:3470:XX>
      but he steps away from situtu then <.>position</.> positions
      himself for the kick up the touchline

  <WSC#MUC029:3475:XX>
      and he's put it out about ten metres out from the twenty TWO in
      western samoan territory</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:3480:AW>
      <[><?>meleisea</?></[></{>

  <WSC#MUC029:3485:AW>
      well he hasn't had a really great start has old vile patu

  <WSC#MUC029:3490:AW>
      he's come on

  <WSC#MUC029:3495:AW>
      he dropped the ball from that <?>movement</?> before in midfield

  <WSC#MUC029:3500:AW>
      gave auckland the scrum and from that <,> howarth kicked a good
      forty or fifty metre kick down field

  <WSC#MUC029:3505:AW>
      put the samoans under pressure

  <WSC#MUC029:3510:AW>
      and now of course he just bumbled there

  <WSC#MUC029:3515:AW>
      but <?>luckily he kept</?> the ball in touch <X>

  <WSC#MUC029:3520:XX>
      good ball at the front of the lineout for craig dowd and
      auckland have it

  <WSC#MUC029:3525:XX>
      they drive up towards the twenty two

  <WSC#MUC029:3530:XX>
      now they've got it away to fox

  <WSC#MUC029:3535:XX>
      fox turns it back now to <loudly><quickly>big olo brown who has
      a charge down the blindside still going

  <WSC#MUC029:3540:XX>
      inside the twenty two he goes

  <WSC#MUC029:3545:XX>
      been knocked over the touchline</quickly></loudly>

  <WSC#MUC029:3550:XX>
      they gave him too much room the big fella

  <WSC#MUC029:3555:XX>
      he got a head of steam up and he made play about fifteen or
      twenty metres down field

  <WSC#MUC029:3560:XX>
      and he's put auckland back inside the twenty two</X>

  <WSC#MUC029:3565:AW>
      oh good run by olo

  <WSC#MUC029:3570:AW>
      i don't think i've ever seen him run that far with the ball
      before

  <WSC#MUC029:3575:AW>
      he <,,> seemed to only er startle the samoans but also himself
      <&>9:56</&>
</I>
