356 cases today - we won't be allowed in country for all of 2022 at this rate
Not at least until vaccination rates reduce hospitalisations effectively.
Are people in NSW adhering to their lockdown? How hard are you guys locked down? Seems like the virus is well and truly off and running

Sorry, don't know how this ended up in the wrong thread

North and South stand at Eden Park are good. Food and drink options are not, which sucks for a 7:05pm game.
Quite a few big stadiums have poor options - Stade de France only has alcohol-free Stella, IIRC!

It's pleasing the players are making the right noises
“We had a plan around how we wanted to exit and get our forwards in the game early,” Smith told The Breakdown on Sky on Monday evening. “But there was just so many opportunities. We fell into that trap of, ‘we could go on here, it’s hot here, we could do this’. “But, we should have really got our forwards into the game, getting our loose forwards carrying early, cleaning rucks fast. “And as you saw the first plays after halftime were direct, at them, we’re coming. “That sets our game up. Our game drivers won’t do that again.”“We’re taught to play what’s in front of us, and we tried that, but we were just trying a bit too much,” said Papalii when asked about the messy start. “We need to stick to our basics and our system, which we went away from, and as you see when we roll our sleeves up and get direct we can do some damage. “But we’ve got to stick to that and trust our game-drivers.” -
@kiwimurph just went to buy tickets and a lot are already gone. Anything on the sides is $140 to $225 EACH.
Terraces are cheaper but that’s a terrible view.

Hard to see that business model being sustainable.
It seems the cost of running a live event at EP is close to uneconomic, if those are the prices needed to make a return.

Or they are marking a killing on the few events per year they are allowed.
Maybe the price could drop with more events?

But we saw on Saturday when they changed things in that middle part of the game, the pressure went on the Aussies and points came pretty freely. Was very good to watch.

I think it's also part of the problem of having "dual play makers" - the guy playing at 10 constantly gets caught in two minds due to the constant stream of "its on out wide" or similar from the guy playing full back who only sees the acres of space directly in front of him and not the crowded midfield and rushing defenders in front of the guy playing 10. It's also horrible for a guy who's relatively new to the team and has been asked to run the cutter to constantly have that chat from a more experienced player outside him.
In short, ditch the dual play maker system and move Jordie to fullback.

why won't people from Wellington just pop and go to the game FFS?
I drove 4+ hours down the coast just to watch the fucking Warriors and the Chiefs lose. You can drive 6 to watch the ABs retain the Bledisloe
Kiwis and "distance" crack me up. It's a what, 45 minute flight?
