Waratahs v Blues

ACT Crusader

Tahs:

1 Robertson
2 Latu
3 Kepu
4 Mumm
5 McDuling
6 Hanigan
7 Hooper (capt)
8 Holloway
9 Gordon
10 Foley
11 Clark
12 Horwitz
13 Horne
14 Robinson
15 Folau

Bench: Roach, Ryan, Ta'avao, Skelton, Wells, Phipps, Hegarty, Simone

That's probably you're best backline. Skelton not starting is probably a better decision by Agent Gibson also.

I may have 4 tickets available courtesy of my club.

The guy who wanted them hasn't been seen since I said "sure mate - just come to training and put your $100 deposit down, and they're yours!"

They're e-tix so I can email them to you. Gold section so not the greatest seats, but they're free, tight-arse!

If you PM me I'll let you know final status.

Who is going?

dK

@NTA Let me know if you still have them tomorrow. My cousin is meant to be getting me two, but that may fall through

Nepia

Hmmm, for some reason I didn't realise this game was this weekend!

I think this might be the game of the round.

Both teams are eyeing this one up in the run into the finals - Blues to keep any hope they have alive and Tahs to catch up to the Brumbies (who have the bye).

Tahs rebounded with a win last week. Tahs have the edge in the halves - Foley is class and Gordon is an impressive rookie compared to Francis and an out of form Pulu.

Blues haven't won in Sydney since 2003.

Both teams will throw it around - Blues have openly admitted chasing bonus points. Tahs similarly.

Fine conditions and i'd expect a half decent crowd with SBW in town.

I'd like to think this Blues team will have enough grit to get the win but they've been burnt in Sydney many times.

@NTA I have two tickets from my cousin, so won't need yours. Are you going?

NTA

@dK still considering. No rugby on tomorrow for us so it's tempting

dK

@NTA Let me know

NTA

@dK OK definitely NOT going at this point. Family shit now that Subbies game has been moved :rolling_eyes:

@mariner4life Yeah. Pretty much. Apparently because the M-I-L is a hopeless fucking idiot, I have to help sort her life out given I have free time.

Honestly, how the fuck do Telstra charge a 66yo woman $250 a month for phone, internet, and Foxtel?

because they can?

NTA

@mariner4life because they're c*nts.

She's pissing away my ~~kids'~~ inheritance!

Nepia

@NTA I'd pay $250 a month for all that if the internet fucking worked. (yeah, I probably wouldn't normally but it would be nice to have some stable internet).

NTA

@Nepia I'd pay $250 for 1gbps. Then write that shit off on tax.

Gunner

Why the fuck are the Blues allowed to wear their away strip for this game?
Can hardly tell the teams apart...

Damo

Finally a game in which the result is uncertain.

Both auckland's kits would clash.

Kits are so shit these days. Don't actually serve their primary purpose.

Oh look, it one of those 7 teams in mergey blue v one of the other 7 teams in blueyish.
