    Coin-toss. Should be a very tense game.

    Wish it was played in the afternoon.

      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.

      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

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

                                          We still have all those Chiefs ABs to up the quality of our national side...
