    <p>Canes, for the pain of last year and the fog final, plus years of having a team that has shown glimpses of amazing balls talent but lacked consistency.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Our team has really grown over the last 2 years and have been strong all season. Kind of on the fence about whether I'd have preferred to play the Landers, but the Lions were far too good and totally deserve their finals berth. The humping we gave the Lions earlier on in the year means nothing. But confident that Boyd, Plumtree and Watt will make sure there is no complacency.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Really hope Coles is fit to play.</p>

    I'd like to see Coles there but the kid who replaced him was great. Our scrum was a bit wobbly in the first half so we need to be on guard

    <p>A poor decision by SANZAAR.  All of the recent Super finals featuring teams from different countries have had a neutral ref so there is no perception of bias.  Gardner was the obvious choice.</p>

    <p>and by sheer coincidence he was in Wellington last week too, surely he hadn't made plans to do something this weekend?</p>

    So that must mean he is the best ref in the Comp right?

    I'm gonna be really fucked off if Jackson doesn't put in a hometown performance. I hope he doesn't read the Fern, realise what he's doing and then over compensate the other way. If he does, I'll have you fuckers to blame it on.

He can start by policing the breakdown. Peyper was blind last weekend

    It's a balmy 8c and clear in Wellington according to my weather app. Means it will drop like a stone by kick-off time. Hopefully the saffas will feel right at home
