Looks like it will be wet with 40 kph winds.

ABs by 13.

Hoping for a repeat of 96

96 was old school balls, muddy fields and an absolutely unprotected stadium. Athletic park was amazing when the weather was good, but goddamn when it was bad it was awful. Still little better rugby watching than the Mallard Stand.

But that weather was truly atrocious, and to pull ou the skills on a day like that was remarkable. I was i ntown, but couldn't land a ticket at the time (and didn't try particularly hard, given the weather)

Hoping jordie is doing the place kicking today

When was the last time a Sky expert was asked what they think of a selection and then criticised it?

Every selection is perfect apparently

[booboo]

D'oh!

Just turned the pre-game on and it's the Foxtel comms.

Was looking for some atmos from the ground...

... And what's worse is I've suddenly realised they'll peobably inflict Kearns at al from studio rather than a decent (ie, biased towards NZ) commentary team ...

[Stargazer]

@Kirwan Yep, really strong wind gusts at the moment.

When was the last time a Sky expert (partial owner of NZR) was asked...

The woman slyly mentioned Jordie was the best 15.

[Siam]

Aussie feed: " yes yes Kearnsie, put your hand down and stop pouting we've already agreed that you can try to out fuckwit Gus Gould with an over-acted preview..."

And he did....

[Kirwan]

Is this a sellout? Lots of empty seats

Not even close.

Another fail by NZR.

We can sell out stadiums around the world but can’t do it at home

[antipodean]

Nice to see Hooper's achievement acknowledged by the crowd.

To be fair, JK did make a comment about preferring to pick specialists then didn’t take it any further. I’m now starting to wonder if the coaches have absolutely nailed this selection

[nzzp]

someone needs to freeze frame Ardie standing in the linout so we can estimate his actual height

[MN5]

Tungafase undoubtedly has the shittest haircut in AB history. Does the man not own a mirror ?

[Yeetyaah]

Goodhue with the nerves

[Stargazer]

I missed the build up on Sky. So what's the wind direction? Does one of the teams currently have the wind in the back?

[shark]

Mo'unga can't tackle. Uh huh.

[Yeetyaah]

@Stargazer well after that boxie from White we can assume it favours the All Blacks.

[African Monkey]

Bridge's side of defence getting targeted .
