    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.

              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.

                                      Yep, doing Mooloos quite a big disservice I think, Chiefs have 10, Crusaders 11, (Blues 13) and Chiefs have lots of potential future AB forwards such as Dyer, Norris, Thompson, McWhannell, even Ah Kauhoi, also Ratima/Roe in halves. Gideon Wrampling likely to be a future AB midfielder.

                                      Ah yes, thank you for those names, the All Blacks are indeed in safe hands.

                                        @nzzp not true. I’ll never have Matera in my All Black side until they change the eligibility rules.

                                        I think the second half of your sentence fell off, but don't worry I added it back in.

                                        That’s just more hate from within. Sith.

                                        I find it funny that you don't realise you're part of the Empire. 😉

                                        @Nepia You need to forgive whoever it was that hurt you. Only then will you be free from the pain and will start to heal.

                                          That trophy looks like Mega-Mind or some other cartoon baddie.
