Might look at going over for this (I am in Qtown at the moment). There’s some dodgy weather coming though and we have to leave on Sunday so will have to wait until the forecast is clearer.
Someone might be running a bus, will check it out.

This is a quiet thread. Seems a foregone conclusion, right, and everyone is focussed on Sunday in Auckland!

Yup! Highlanders come second in this match.....

I was just watching the Chiefs training run, the only spectator there. Cane only turned up at the end but everyone is fit I was told.

It's hard to tell when players mix and match in the teams during training but there could be a few changes from their last game.

If Cane and Boshier were both out, the game becomes more of a contest.

Highlanders by 11.

Hammett to test positive for the Rona on Sunday morning and bring the whole competition to a halt.

That’s true and more often than not my game predictions are wrong

He's all about developing culture. Just on this occasion, it'll be a virus in a petri dish.

You realise viruses can't reproduce by themselves so wouldn't develop a culture in a petri dish ... ?

Oh ...

He's taught them how to pick and go?

One of the things Gatland has introduced are short and intense trainings. Quality not quantity.

I read that Cane has now been ruled out so the loose forward trio looks to be Jacobson, Boshier and Sowakula.

Kinda thought we did that in the 80s under John Hart and Jim Blair.

I wsa joking yesterday about renaming our meeting rooms at work 'Petrie Dish 1.3', 'HAZMAT 3.2' and so on. It's never too soon

Shorter training sessions compared to under Colin Cooper.
