Long range forecast looks wet.

Good!

Bring those flying fijians down to Akira-speed.

Is Akira speed hamburger?

 

[KiwiM]

Christie starting and Funaki is benched.

It's equally laughable and predictable.

Blues locks are looking threadbare at the wrong end of the season with both Darry and McWhannell unavailable. Darry is listed as a concussion protocol, which is a mandatory two weeks (iirc), and I believe McWhannell has been out for under the protocols for almost a month now (?). Doesn't bode well, regardless.

I just don't get it. Funaki/Nock has been working well the whole season.

 

[KiwiM]

I just don't get it. Funaki/Nock has been working well the whole season.

Unfortunately most rugby coaches shy away from making tough calls on big name players. Christie is too established.

On form Forbes should be starting fullback and Perofeta should be on the bench.

@Dismal Pillock are you ready for that blue choke

Way to reward Nock for winning them 2 games at the death.

"Um yeah thanks you can go sit in the stands and watch the ranga hoist up his backwards box kicks now kay thanx bye"

 

[zer0]

A cunning ruse to deliberately put the kickoff out on the full to start with a scrum

 

[Upthenuts]

stink captain down! go blues

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

So tired of listening to Loss Bleus uber-fanboi TJ, can't they find someone a little more professional?

 

[zer0]

Dismal on route to storm the Eden Park broadcast booth as we speak.

 

[zer0]

This KFC ad squeezing up the broadcast on restarts is some prime bullshit.

 

[Tomikin]

Looks like the brown paper bag made it to the Fijian locker room before the game. Looks like will need to put one back next week...just ours will be on fire and full of grade A Brumbies fertiliser..

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

This KFC ad squeezing up the broadcast on restarts is some prime bullshit.

Gotta keep Akira incentivised somehow...
