@nzzp said in SRA round 8: Highlanders v Blues: @kiwimurph said in SRA round 8: Highlanders v Blues: Very conservative Blues side. Once again Leon can't settle on a halfback. His 3rd season as coach and he simply rotates almost every week. Wonder if it's trying to match a game plan. That said, he's been pretty consistent with other selections - rotating props, but the backline in general, and 8/10/15 have been pretty consistent. If the 9s are Ruru and Christie, I'd prefer latter to start.

 Will be my first time attending that stadiumit's an absolutely awesome sporting arena. Well worth a trip to go and see. We don't have enough proper rectangular stadia in NZ; Dunedin, Waikato, North Harbour are the big three I guess. It's such a better fan and viewing experience

 Will be my first time attending that stadiumSnap. First time for me too (and I support neither team). 
 The son wanted to go to a game as a freedom relief after months of isolation in the UK (and here) so a group of us are heading there from Qtown. Should be a good night. That Landers team isn’t as bad a I thought it would be.

@jk I went to this fixture last year. Great stadium and they have a great set of fans except for @Bones, @Siam and @Kiwiwomble. A lot of Blues fans there last year too which suprised me.

@siam nice to know there is another of us, had missed that you were :)...i do understand the point @African-Monkey was making now though

@kiwiwomble it's a fandom tempered with reality though isn't it. I could scarcely believe 2015 came about and scarcely believe it can happen again, but southerners are good folk

@dice Narawa has that outstanding half a game against the Landers then hasn't been sighted since? Telea had 5 minutes against the Canes and 10mins against the Landers and hasnt been sighted since either. Lam 5 minutes in his one and only appearance. Heem gets the start and plays the full 80 against the Crusaders. McDonald obviously doesn't trust either Emoni or Telea to start a game or Lam for that matter.
