    Weather forecast looks good so you'd hope a good crowd will rock up

      hope so. I'd love to, but planned fishing tripi in the morning and have a house full of teenagers in the afternoon when the game is on. Offered a trip to the rugby, but only 1 of a few is interested.

      Couch time, hopefully with some fresh snapper!

        @nzzp kinda sad tbh, obligatory "back in my day" comment but me and my mates would have jumped at the chance to go to the footy for a game like this (if one could even get tickets!)

          Yep, and they were worth it - pubs put on busses with tickets and preloading. Great fun!

            You’d think for a day game like this Eden Park would get over 20k.

              A day at the rugby is not the big ticket it used to be

                  I think they will get a lot of late sales and on the day sales

                    Looks like Blues were out at junior clubs tonight attending trainings across the city.

                    Good week to do it.

                      AB trial. Expect two locks to end up in squad. And three loosies.

                        Darry or McWhannell ? I liked what McWhannell brought from the bench against the Reds but he has my preference as a starter. He is pretty physical and his lineout work is top notch.

                            I really like McWhannell, but didn't have a great game starting last week, whereas Darry was strong when he came on.

                                  Be surprised if Perofeta is not in 23 wait and see I guess

                                    @pakman Darry is one of there leaders , I expect he will start, with Mcwhannell on the bench

                                      Good to see Zarn recognise his attack is where he needs to improve

                                      Forbes has been very good at 15 and sparked the Blues attack quite a lot.

                                      The challenge is laid out for Zarn - up against the best fullback in the comp in Ruben Love.

                                        Yeah its always been his weakest area in comparison to other fullbacks. It's more about getting the balance right of when to have a crack IMO. He has an incredible boot and maybe over plays that slightly

                                        I thought there were positive signs at the start of this season. When he opted to run it was decisive and he was using his size.. some very good passes putting others in space too
