    It says showers, like it does most days, the forecast seems to change on a regular basis. Will make a judgement call on the day 🙂

    Forecast is looking slightly better now.. metservice has the rain arriving a couple of hours after the game

    Now it's changed again and the rain is arriving for the game.

    Weather Forecasts

    There's a shed load of rain rolling in from the west. May arrive at or soon after kickoff, but it's going to get wet sometime.

    Timing is to hard this far out... An hour each way makes a massive difference

    it's the weekend, why check? it'll rain for sure.

    i still vividly remember the 80s and early 90s where every single person not from Auckland would want Canterbury to win this. How the worm has turned...

    A free rugby final in a classic match-up. It’s a risky move. Over to you, Aucklanders

    A free rugby final in a classic match-up. It’s a risky move. Over to you, Aucklanders

    A domestic rugby final at NZ's most famous ground, and it's free to all. This could be the start of something, writes Scott Stevenson

    Final will be an odd experience I think, given every neutral fan is going to be cheering for Auckland. When's that happened before?

    Great minds ...

    Is this how the rest of the world feels about the All Blacks?

    Which is why players making 50 or 100 appearances for a province are getting rarer and rarer.

    @duluth back when George Moala was a beast. Was a decent game with a lot of talent on both sides.

    Quite incredible to think that Charles Piutau was playing NPC only that far back.

    The weather forecast looks better than yesterday with most of the rain expected after the game.

    Prattley didn't look good after that accidental head knock.
