WO has it, it's the John Cleese line. I have been to Palmy briefly a couple of years ago and had nothing against it. People were very nice, rugby museum was great, quite a nice drive from Wellington and back. Stoked for the bucketheads to have something to celebrate.

Not sure what Country did to Angus Gardner but gee they got some rough calls. City will desperately need Frisby to be fit next week.

Country putting loads of heat on Mullins since he came on, putting him on the ground with late tackles so he's slow to the next breakdown, very clever.

Why did City not make this their first strip? Looks a lot better than their regular one IMO.

Awesome game, good on the Turbos. The most boring place in the world will be going off tonight!

Shannan Chase is like the Marty Banks of 2014, a cult hero.

Ihaia West is magical. Amazing what a quick set of feet and the ball in two hands can do.

Tasman and Manawatu for me too, but they should both be top games. Should be two good crowds too with regional teams hosting.

Should be a great final, either way we'll have a first time winner. Also for Tasman to potentially win the comp in their first year after being promoted would be remarkable.

Taranaki vs Auckland, probably the best game of rugby I've seen this year. The pace and physicality did not let up for 100 minutes and there was a lot of endeavour considering it was a semi final. The Naki 13 (apparently signed by the Chiefs) had a blinder.

I get the feeling last nights game suffered from the timeslot and day it was in. You'd have to think that if it was a weekend afternoon game the crowd would've at least doubled with a decent contingent coming over from the Northern Beaches. Obviously it was the easiest game to broadcast which is...

Certainly won't be Newcastle. Both of the venues here (Hunter Stadium and No 2 Sportsground) are being resurfaced right now. I'd heard it would be WIN Stadium in the Gong.

He might have been, I must say I only saw half the game but they looked pretty good for that time. Just struck me as an odd thing to say when a team has run in 6 tries to 1.

He also said that NZ were very rusty yesterday after they'd beaten France by 30, what a dropkick.

No reserve halfback? Ayoub can play there I guess, but unless he's injured I would've expected Auvasa to get another run, he was pretty good last week.

Neither commentator daring to attempt to pronounce Auvasa's last name, great stuff. Rams looking classy with ball in hand, having Volavola at 10 and Batger at 15 looks to have helped them.

Don't believe so. The solution is to play all games at Concord, it wouldn't be a problem there!

How Mogg wasn't penalised/carded for that knock down I'll never know, surely the ref or the AR on the near side saw it. Breathless last 10 minutes though, great stuff.

Regular season only. I've always thought the idea of defending in finals would be an interesting one though, imagine a team winning the comp and the Shield in one game.

Waikato copping the Wellington treatment against the Jaffas, 34-0 just into the second half.
