[Crazy Horse]

I am excited for this game. Probably because it's two NZ teams going at it

Should be a good game Clan won’t like being written off and all the talk about not deserving a finals place.

And we have to take our form into the finals.

@Crazy-Horse I would be more excited if there wasn't such a gap in strength between both teams.

Really, individually blues are better, in some are much better (like Barrett). But overall it's not like there are hundreds of ABs in blues. As a team the Landers have underperformed

The Blues will be reeling with the loss of Papali'i.

I don't write them off. I think they can still win for sure but they would have to be less confident than prior.

And the Clan won’t miss Smith?

Unless I heard wrong, TJ just said Dalton has appendicitis. So that explains the key-hole surgery. Prognosis should be good for a rapid recovery.

More so I'd say. Fakatava has come into some good form, but the disparity between Aaron and Hammington is immense.

Fakatava has been combatative. Let's see if he can do it for 60 minutes rather than 20.

I am looking forward to see if MMT, TUJ and Fakatava can shine. And the RTS and RI partnership

BB will be a key man in this match... I feel the blues have too much fire power for us.
Landers need a big start and rattle them early to have any chance.
FF starting does excite me.

[KiwiMurph]

Beaudy's punting leaves a lot to be desired

[Machpants]

Jesus NZ teams love the stupid penalties

[Grooter]

Tony's drunk that's CGB not coombes fabling

Christ on a bike, what's wrong with everyone's hands today?

[antipodean]

What happened to the advantage he signalled at the scrum?

[KiwiMurph]

@antipodean I don't think he signalled advatage
