Checked off-screen I believe.

Finals-worthy game that was.

This really should've been a Saturday game simply on the basis of the three-hour time difference.

Rained all night & all of today but not heavily so FMG should be in good nick & conditions not too bad for autumn in NZ. Edit: Auckland got its entire April average rainfall today & other parts are getting hammered as well so looks like we've gotten off lightly.

Theoretical mathematicians would run a mile rather than try to calculate it... @LeCheese you are an evil mofo. More please.

It appears @Dismal Pillock's Beaugan Hate Index has reached Tasesa Lavea to the power of Luke McAlister...

Now can you see it @Wilson & @zer0 ?

Buried in the NZHurld's team lists today: "All Blacks prop Ofa Tu’ungafasi will miss the rest of the Blues’ season due to a neck injury, which will require surgery to rehabilitate."

Last year's loss was only half that for 2023 but even so 'canes will be passing the hat around the various shareholders, hoping to raise $1Mn in new capital. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/360637413/hurricanes-seek-1m-injection-shareholders-after-700k-loss-2024

Blues getting a heap of players back this week including Designated Season Saviour Beagan... https://www.1news.co.nz/2025/04/01/blues-welcome-reinforcements-as-they-attempt-to-salvage-season/ Nice of Akira to drop in to training & offer some moral support.

Ponsonby RFC digging their heels in over being booted from Western Springs to make way for a 12,500-seat stadium for the Auckland A-League team plus some other codes incl basketball (Steven Adams is one of the backers). Ponies want a 2,500-seat home ground & a Hollywood Bowl-like concert venue...
