Me too! Glorious day in Auckland, blue skies, good weather, should suit an open game with dry conditions. I'm super excited - have the AB jersey out and can't wait to head down to the ground.
You've gone to almost every game at Eden Park this year? Same.. A home team victory at Eden Park would make a pleasant change

More than I'd like
Didn't renew the season ticket, but did wind up there most nights. I still feel slightly ill.
Still, the Blues got up over the Lions last year with the best feeling at the park since the early 2000's, so we've got that I guess.

I think iits fair to say the Allblacks have led the world in coming up with fresh ideas , and a continual evolving gameplan ,
So while you may spot something you think you can exploit , doesnt always mean it will still be there as much when it comes time to play them, if you are planning for down the track

Not to detract from high levels of NZ rugby intellect combined with athletes able to execute those ideas but trialling new laws in the SH before the NH will always lead an advantage

@mikethesnow Not always the case, the new ruck etc laws were introduced up north first. ABs first game under them was after a full season for NH last year. However it is normally because our unions are not too conservative to agree with trials, which are rejected up north.

True.
True.
And my point still stands. More fool the NH unions.

I remember 2009 matey, we don't always get them first. The ABs came off the ELV in Super, and straight into the French series played under the old laws from the NH. Lost the first test and didn't playw ell...

maybe Steddie has been so focussed on getting England right for beating the ABs he forgot about all the games in between, and if the ABs change thier game plan, he'll be 69.32566% more fucked

Wasn't it Tyson who said, "everyone has got a plan until they're punched in the face." Plans seem to leave out the opposition's moves ......
