    Gotta say this one is too tough to call, and I am just going to enjoy it as rugby spectacle.

      Crusaders tight 5 make them favourites. Getting All Blacks back is massive; their engine room is massive.

        Coin-toss. Should be a very tense game.

        Wish it was played in the afternoon.

          According to the Blues posters their whole team should be ABs anyway so it evens out. 😉

                  considering the vast majority of the nation's starting All Blacks are playing, if this game lacks quality then we are fucked.

                  Tho the weather looks a bit ordinary. Prefer an afternoon game in the sunshine.

                      I didn't say otherwise. 🙂

                      Wasn't saying the arvo would be better, but stating my general preference for daytime footy under a cool winter sky

                          Gallagher is better than Strange wtf, and couldn't they go without Kellow and have 2 big bodies Strange & Gallagher on pine? because the Blues pack is significantly bigger & Christie will likely need to be subbed off again like in the last encounter.

                            TAB currently has the Blues as $1.80 favs...

                            Too close to call for me. Look forward to a great game and hope there's no major injuries.

                              @Mattasaurus Line is at 0.5 pts, so basically a draw.

                                that's basically it, isn't it. No injuries would be great - it'll be a cracking game anyway
