@kiwiwomble seeing that makes me wanna support the Blues.

You'd be a lot cooler if you did.

@kirwan honestly, even if we shit the bed we're still clearly improving. Feels good for the future, even if I want the future right now

well, another wet day in Auckland. Been wet all week.

Expecting thunderstorms tonight, but a crowd of more thank 30k still expected (28.5k tickets sold as at yesterday). So, wet, but not too cold.

I'm going to sit in the usual cheap seats, with my mates, and enjoy a good evening of footy. Blues strong favourites at TAB, to the point I'm tempted to take out loss insurance It's going to be bloody good fun, and hopefully a dominant forward effort gets us there.

Pitch drains incredibly well, but both sides will need long sprigs. Last week people slipped over all the time - from both sides. the new turf seems slippery. Roll on SRTT2021, and well done to whoever takes the trophy home

@nzzp Looking a lot better now. Looking at the hourly forecast, it seems the heavy stuff is done for now and will return around midnight. Hopefully that's the case anyway.

Lovely and sunny in AKL right now. But a lot of rain fell overnight, CF Jr's sports were cancelled due to heavy pitch conditions. EP drains much better though

Same here, amazing blue skies and sunny. Roads drying out, hopefully clear up to kickoff

Train to the ground pretty full. Good contingent of feral Speights drinkers. Go the blues

[Dice]

Dougie is in better shape than most current players.

[Tim]

@dice Is that him on the left?

[Dice]

@tim Yup.

[Tim]

@dice His head looks huge.

He's no Owen Finnegan, but still

Predictions?

Blues to get off to a bit of a nervous start, but come right and win by 7. Sullivan, Papalii, and Tuipulotu to have influential games.
