Congrats Wob's fans. That was a mad game and your blokes won it.

Am I allowed to nominate the entire english backline from 1990 ~ 2010 ish?

I have very fond memories of watching the Lions test in 2005 - I'd like to keep the cake tin around for a bit. Mind you Athletic Park was legendary.

All of which is fair enough, though he was better than either of them this season...... ;)

I still cant fathom why papailili cant even make the AB squad. He was easily the best loose forward I saw in super rugby

Surely the blues wouldnt be stupid enough to let Michael Jones son play anywhere but there. Lol what am i saying. He will no doubt be wearing red and black soon enough.

I am very much trying to contain my excitement at what he might become.

The stop start nature just takes the crowd out if it entirely. Just when you think great some passages of play, then nothing happens for 5 minutes. Aussie's were especially guilty of this but if it was a tactic then tip of the hat to them it should have worked.

Im no fan of the current coach / captain or selection policies. I'm just saying a drop goal was more than likely to miss hence no one trying one.

The wind would not have let a drop be more than a 25% chance even from dead in front.

To be fair this was probably the best moment of the match, post final whistle period aside. I imagine that on TV the game appeared pretty good. But the extended periods of absolutely nothing happening where everyone just stands around killed this as an in person event. (the rain and cold didn't...

I more hope Rennie has got the Aussies ready for the crowd(s).

I'm attending this tomorrow. First test i've been to in person for at least a decade. Afternoon game and good teams! Im super duper excited.

Niko Jones makes his first appearance for Auckland this weekend....

You know ... a 11 team comp would allow for every team to get a bye and there to be a full round of home and away.
