Most of that rain came through in the morning though. I did a 28km "Fun" run on Sunday morning before going to the match and it was up there for the worst conditions I've run in - worst raced in anyway. There was also a mini-Tornado that tore some family's house apart in the morning. At the...

Went a had a look around the area today. If anyone manages to get the train (and it actually gets them there) the pub is right next to the Kingsland station. Anyone walking up the Fan Trail to get there should hang a right into New North Road just before getting to the stadium. There are a...

Ok lads, I'll see you there. I will be in Wallabies jersey, hat, cape, possibly facepaint. Where is Moses? Is the "Great Crusade" so restrictive that he can't jump off the"Crusade" without risking the remainder of his free trip? Is it that good anyway? Let's hope he can answer these...

Does anyone have anything recongnisably GAGR as that pub will be packed with Aussies & Irish so it won't be easy to figure out who is who. I was going to bring my "Richie's Offside" cooler but sadly it went missing in action after the Italy win so will have to bring the "Crouch, Pause...

Can confirm that the Shed 10 Heineken Bar at the Queens Wharf Fanzone goes off during matches.... Fox's Ale House also good.... Missed flight this morning due to one or two Heineken's too many last night. Yeah, just the one I think..... Woohoo for $80NZD flights to Christchurch booked a...

Can you set one of these up for NZ too Moses? Then as people work their way around Heinekenland (aka New Zealand) they can add the best one's in. Over the course of Sunday I'm planning on testing out the Albany Sports Cafe http://www.albanysportsbarcafe.co.nz/ Shed 10 in the Queens Wharf...

Have added the Normanby in Brisbane. Has designated VIP area set up for rugby fans and is also becoming Triple M's Clubhouse pub for the cup and they've got their own pub jerseys done up by Kooga for Prize giveaways. http://www.thenormanby.com.au/whats-on

For the Italy match, I think the "Albany Sports Bar & Cafe" looks like it will do the job as a pre-game meet up venue. It looks easy walking distance to the stadium (about 500m). http://www.albanysportsbarcafe.co.nz/index.php I think I will head there around 1pm and try and grab some...

We are playing the USA & Russia in the pool stages too. Bringing out the back up players against them would make a bit more sense than doing it against the Italians.

I expect to see an unchanged starting pack but I think Barnes might get a run at 12. There's been a lot said that O'Connor will get the wing spot back due to his goal kicking but I think it might well be Barnes to 12 and goal kicking with JOC (James O'Connor) to the bench. I don't think playing a team below...

There's a Kooga Outlet store at Harbour Town on the Gold Coast. Maybe they might have some leftovers from last year.

Isn't it about time for next year's Super Rugby Draw to be released? Maybe it's that, plus the line up of Tests in 2012.

I am outside the ground. Rain has stopped and looks like it has passed over on the weather radar but everything very wet with no chance of drying now.

Yeah, it's really pouring down now. Bringing the Goretex trekking pants out tonight. Waterproof boots too I think.

I think today's shitty weather is great news for the Wallabies. We'll be forced into playing "direct rugby" and kicking for field position. I'm hoping to see lots of lineouts tonight. We have 4 good jumping options and Mealamu threw plenty that weren't straight but were let go at Eden Park. I...

I hope Diggers is off somewhere getting a green Southern Cross painted into that haircut to really complete the Rodman look.

Only 1 food outlet open in the stadium. Same for bar. Massive lines. Not a good start for the launch of "international rugby" on the Gold Coast. Hope the on-field organization is a lot better.

I hope Will is good to go. I can hardly remember back to the times we won the Tri-Nations comp they were so long ago now. Some of our current squad would have been primary school kids.... Stirling kicking a goal from the sideline in Durban in 2000 and Kefu crashing over in 2001. So fucking...

If Wales recent form is anything to go by, they will push us in the Quarters in Wellington. And a repeat match against the newly crowned World Champion Wallabies will attract a decent crowd.

I don't think that AB's lineup gives off the same intimidatory presence as the sides from 2-3 years ago. Actually, even from 3 weeks ago without Kaino or SBW. They are there for the taking this match. We have a much better conditioned and selected forward pack than last time around too with...
