This is just sad from geriatric Phil Gifford:
Ask anyone on the streets of Te Awamutu or Morrinsville and they’ll tell you the edge for rugby teams from the Waikato area playing Auckland has always been in the forwards, where the Queen St Yanks can’t match the grit of the rural grafters in red, yellow, and black.
No one in NZ has ever used the term "yanks".
He has dementia.
Actually have heard the term - but not for many much years. You're likely far too young.
I have heard it as well just not for about 2 or even 3 or 4 decades

May even have been Gifford who I recall having used it back in my pre dementia days.

Stupidly I have gone and scheduled a trip to the grand old US of A that happens to coincide with this game and also the ABs first test of the season. Does anyone know if my Aussie Stan app will work in the States?

Big ask, it doesn’t even work in Australia a lot of the time

I don't think i've heard 'Queen St Yanks' since it was superseded by the always affectionate 'jafa'.

From the quote, I thought it was the name of a team of some sort

I use tunnelbear free version when overseas and my UK sky app. Just back from Crete and worked a treat - tunnelbear say you only get 2gb download on free but it doesn't track your usage at all.
- Open tunnelbear on phone and connect VPN.
- Turn on phone hotspot (make sure WiFi is turned off).
- On tablet/laptop connect to hotspot and open sky app.
You'll want to make sure your tablet/laptop is set to the appropriate timezone (i.e. the one where your app provider is based).
Sounds complicated but it's pretty easy, I've found it doesn't work if you use the VPN on the same device as you're watching. If the connection falls over just close everything and go through the steps again.

Naitoa Ah Kuoi is also out with concussion. Where's BBBR?
Hunting magpies?

Thanks for starting this thread. Didn’t even know there was a game on this week. Super rugby is soooo 2023 (2022, 2019, 2018, 2017…)

@Bones Kiwi troops were big defenders of Crete around 1941. Scene of some of Charles Upham's early heroics.

Hot there yet?Yeah we go every year... and seem to attract a heatwave. Hit 38 a couple of days. Back in tropical Orpington now.

@antipodean looks like north, east and west basically sold out
They're filling the ends of the south stand now.
Carn the Blues! Looks like a sellout is coming.
