Not sure either team can maintain this pace for 80 minutes but imagine the scoreline if they can...

If that's what he's saying publicly imagine the spray he gave/ is going to give the players in private...

Playing wet weather footy when duck shooting season comes early, on the other hand...

^ yeah, Mount Smart is Warriors central so Pukekohe is probably the next-best option.
