Stupidly I have gone and scheduled a trip to the grand old US of A that happens to coincide with this game and also the ABs first test of the season. Does anyone know if my Aussie Stan app will work in the States?

Big ask, it doesn’t even work in Australia a lot of the time

[Bovidae]

Slater did pass his HIA2 test so the MCL will be the concern. McMillan has also said that Sanerivi will be the first phone call.

Maybe you're right, I'll just cut straight to the celebratory drinking

Welcome onboard the Blues train!

celebratory, commiseratory, who cares right

win or lose we Booze

win or lose
we choose
to Booze

(I suggest it scans better)

not for about 2 or even 3 or 4 decades

I don't think i've heard 'Queen St Yanks' since it was superseded by the always affectionate 'jafa'.

From the quote, I thought it was the name of a team of some sort

Naitoa Ah Kuoi is also out with concussion. Where's BBBR?

[Donsteppa]

Might be one of those weeks where anyone with boots and a mouthguard handy is at risk of playing...

@Bones Kiwi troops were big defenders of Crete around 1941. Scene of some of Charles Upham's early heroics.
Hot there yet?

Hunting magpies?

Thanks for starting this thread. Didn’t even know there was a game on this week. Super rugby is soooo 2023 (2022, 2019, 2018, 2017…)

Yeah we go every year... and seem to attract a heatwave. Hit 38 a couple of days. Back in tropical Orpington now.

@antipodean looks like north, east and west basically sold out

They're filling the ends of the south stand now.

Carn the Blues! Looks like a sellout is coming.

[WillieTheWaiter]

bloody hell didn't think it would actually sell out only just managed to grab some tickets!

[Daffy Jaffy]

[No Quarter]

A sold out Eden Park is always an awesome experience, the atmosphere will be electric

[KiwiMurph]

Sounds like they might try and sneak in a few more via temporary seating

[Duluth]

Nice, that'll be the 3rd time into the mid 40ks in the last few years (45k in the final two years ago, 43k vs Canes in 2020)

Pat looks ok at training today, feeling ok , I'd expect him to be named on Monday

[george33]

Finlay and Akira sat out training today, but early days
