[The_Brown_Hornet]

Winds about 50-70Km/h and pissing down is what it's like at the minute.

 

[ChargerWA]

107kph wind gusts. 60'000 homes without power.

 

[Moono75]

Some big black clouds rolling across the ground now.

 

[zer0]

Two good performances by NZ teams so far this round. Unfortunately it's now time for the Shambles to bumble around for 80 minutes.

I though the Ioane Brothers were out for this one?

say that to their faces motherfucker!

Winning form is good form. I have summoned up a storm from Neptunes backside to get us home. I'll be the guy sitting behind the goals in the poncho covering my beers rain hail or shine.

Rain and hail, but no shine.

 

[boyo]

A lot of obstruction by the Blues atm

There's no one here. At least my beer is cold

 

[Moono75]

not as cold as a swim in Wellington harbour

 

[louie]

This ref is letting the blues get away with murder at the breakdown.

Rugby Match Abandoned at Halftime

--SANZAR--

Tonight's rugby match between the Auckland Blues and the Western Force has been abandoned at halftime.

Blues win 17-3.

An anonymous phone call was placed to SANZAR recommending immediate match abandonment.

"The weather forecast is for inclement weather therefore in the interests of player safety I thought it best to recommend immediate match abandonment. Plus Charlie's in the bin."

 

[Moono75]

This match threads going off. More rain....bring it

 

[zer0]

I'm not commenting as I don't want to jinx my mob. I bashed the Shambles just before kick off and they played reasonably well in the first half.

If I compliment them they'll probably turn to sh*t. If I bash them again they may play better. Or go to sh*t. Therefore, I reason it's best to pull a Switzerland and do nothing while hoping for things to continue as is.

 

[ChargerWA]

I scheduled some quoting to do at game time so I didn't have to watch the train wreck that is the Western Farce. Just came out at half time to grab a drink and pissed myself laughing.

Thanks fuck there's MotoGP qualifying on in an hour. No fuckin Kiwis to beat us at that (ignoring the fact that the lone Aussie will qualify ~16th if you can call that winning).

 

[ChargerWA]

How is Brache keeping Masirewa on the bench?

 

[Moono75]

Not quite Athletic Park conditions.

 

[ChargerWA]

Greg Martin, lumberjack extraordinaire.

 

[Tordah]

hahaha Hodgson

 

[zer0]

WTF is Luatua doing trying to pivot round and slide sideways to secure the ball? Just leaves you vulnerable to errors like that. If he had to slide it should've been back towards his own line.

 

[zer0]

Normal service well and truly resumed by the Shambles.
