NZ Provincial Barbarians v B&I Lions (Whangarei, 3 June 2017)

[KiwiMurph]

@Chris-B. Alex Nankivell I think is one injury away from playing for the Chiefs so I'd imagine he is with the Chiefs gameday squad.

[Chris B.]

@KiwiMurph Yeah - but, so is Makalio (even more definitely) with the Crusaders and he's sitting on the bench.

[Gunner]

That Baabaas team really is pretty shit.
Matich should be starting, throw the locals a bone would ya!

[cgrant]

What is the weather forecast ?
If it's raining a lot, then the defeat could be ordinary. If it's fine, this team should be thrashed.

[Stargazer]

@cgrant If you go back several posts, you'll find your answer.

@ACT-Crusader Could be worse - we could be Manawatu!

Two Feilding High lads there mate.

Of course when Rowe went there it was still called Feilding Ag

@cgrant pissing down at moment, supposed to be a few showers tomorrow but clearing in the afternoon...pitch is always good.

Injury alredy to the Lions with Jared Payne pulling up with an injured calf, which is a shame for him as I am sure we woulda been keen as to run out one more time on Okara Park (aka Toll Stadium)

So this is actually some sort of Bay of Plenty benefit team?

Ta$man better get fucking TJ commentating this match - but, I daresay he'll be required for the Blues tonight!

[Crucial]

What is this ' Ta$man' I keep hearing about?

[Derm McCrum]

Apparently the bookies now have the Lions on favourite odds in all the SR matches.

Puzzling.

My bad

[taniwharugby]

Been a shitload of rain overnight, while the field should be fine, and supposed to clear by kick off, those several thousand people sitting/standing on the embankments are not gonna enjoy the wet sloped ground.

Already heard the words 'winter less north' twice on the news last night...expect we will hear it a few times more...

Scottish bingo.

I hope to beat you to spotting a future Welsh bingo of
Davies, Williams, Halfpenny

or see your bingo and raise it two to: "When will Gats go for the Welsh red-royal-flush?" of
Warbuton, Mori-lumpy, Faletau, Webb, Biggar?

[Stockcar86]

Reports are that the weather is good at Taipa for the speedway meeting there, so hopefully that continues a bit further south

[taniwharugby]

@Stockcar86 hasnt rained for about 2 hours now, still cloudy with patches of blue and mild.

[Gunner]

No rain for hours.... must be due to drop a bucket load right on kickoff....
