With or without Peyper's help, if the Canes beat the Cru (unlikely) there will be a hell of a stink about the conference system again pitting the deserving grand finalists against each other in a semi when all and sundry can see that two teams of substandard players are matched against each other in the other semi.

While I have a lot of sympathy for the view that the whole conference system is broken, I don't expect the Canes to do the dirty on the Saders this weekend.
And they can all fuck off.

The World Cup final was Croatia v France when Belgium was clearly the second best side. It's a standard quirk of cup competitions. I'm starting to think people actually enjoy moaning more than they enjoy watching the fucken sport.

So we get an Australian commentary team for this game being a semi final.

Sounds like Clark, Hoiles and Horan will be covering the game.

i confess, it is a fun narrative to run up and down the main thoroughfare with though..... (never mind that the Landers were a dogshit 3 and 7 outside of Dunedin and leaked 40-odd a game at dag-end of season, that wee factoid doesnt fit narrative)
"NSFW gifted lucrative super rugby final by virtue of coasting through NPC-standard Aussie super rugby conference while comps best 2 teams reduced to bludgeoning each other in semi final, after having battled thru blood-and-death-soaked all-NZ quarter final, after having battled thru murderous test match level NZ conference derbies, all while the cravated, cossetted, cotton-woolled NSFW rugby team sat on the team bus drinking gin and fixing their hair while waiting to see where they would get to play in their pre-arranged final."

Man even if it was a valid complaint. What do they want? 10 years straight of finals in Wellington and Christchurch? Fucks that gunna do for the non-existent crowds.

The one sensible change with Latu starting.

Great to see Wells and Simmons have passed the concussion protocol and have been named to start.

Interesting to see Gibson talking about Latu now doing the extras needed and that Hooper was there with Latu each morning to catch the lineout throws

Feel like someone needs to tell the bloke he could be one of the best props in the world if he put a little in hey.

Tahs looking great in attack, nice try. Hopefully Jackson doesn’t let the Lions get away with too much on the ground in the rucks.
