@Machpants ...so if we can beat the canes this week...we're the champs?...i'm in, the comp is still alive!

... and therefore too, as the Blues were 2-0 against the Highlanders, we'd be champs in teh Canes win!

*we're

You're only as good as your last game and the Hurricanes have beaten, well, everyone in their last game. Moral Champions of SRA.

Hopefully they decide to add temporary seating. The seats in front of the main stands they use for Test matches can't take that long to set up

@KiwiMurph really? whats the standard capacity now days?

Duluth

@Kiwiwomble

Doesn't matter the Trophy is in Christchurch it doesn't really mean much to me as a crusaders fan it feels like the SR season is over.

Blues win good on them but the name on the trophy remains the same for the 11th title and 4 in a row.

So get your teeth into this post as I am sure some will love a bite.:fearful_face:

Gloating is just so unbecoming.

Duluth

So the home crowds were something like this?

43k
36k
33k
43k

An average of just under 39k

Dead rubber games have a history of the fans getting all excited but the winning players simply not having enough motivation compared to the other team whose fans pretend there's actually something on the line. There isn't.

Thinking of Waugh's Aussie cricket team, 3rd and 4th play-offs, Liverpool this season etc.

So Blues off a bye and at home should win and then their fans will have 9 months of talking up a team that yet again have won fuck all

Hope they have a final next year, not to determine the best teamm but just to give landers fans another game to watch
