ozzie tautological rubbish.

I am not sure if you said the same thing twice or the same thing thrice.

You look at the tight five and think, wow the Crusaders by a thousand....then you look at the backs and think, wow Blues by a thousand! Interesting game!

The forwards make it possible to win a game. The backs decide by how much.

What's your claim then?

Seems to be lots of talk about last years GF, is that girl friend, gluten free? Dunno.

Anyway what is interesting is this game is a repeat of last year's final, surprised no one has pointed that out yet

Thank you.

Can't stand that Aussie thing of Final/Grand Final.

Final means final. Not decide who plays next week.

And then there's the stupidity of 'Finale'.

That reminds me. The GOM thread needs some new additions.....

Heard ticket sales are not great only around 5k

[Bovidae]

Rieko to have a big game on his birthday?

That's absolutely horrendous if true.

Traditional rivals - good weather - mid-March (so not too early) - kids going free. Blues starting the season relatively well.

That should have alarm bells ringing at NZR (and RA).

That's absolutely horrendous if true.

remember that excludes season ticket holders, and walkup crowds (which Auckland is notorious for)

I suspect 15k sales on the night

[Steven Harris]

@nzzp hoping so ,under 10 would be a disgrace

I'm down at the game there is a hell of a lot more than 5,000. Looks like a great turn out for a game this big.

Same

Not sure it's quite 15k, but it's a decent crowd

[Duluth]

Eklund on the bench according to the list Sky showed

[KiwiMurph]

Sky saying 20k + crowd

That wouldn't surprise me given the ground. A good crowd can look sparse when spread out.

[Steven Harris]

@KiwiMurph looks more like 10-12 gaps all around the stadium

[Bones]

Paps needed to cut in and pop rather than go out

[KiwiMurph]

Blues lineout already in trouble

[KiwiMurph]

Nice skills
