It's Auckland so best to check the forecast tomorrow morning.
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...

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 ...
QUEENSLANDER!!

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

I’m not confident, Auckland we’re bloody impressive last week. We were lucky

Best crowd I've seen at an NPC game for ages
It looked like they closed most stands, so that the ones the cameras are focused on fill up nicely, but Ferners who are actually at Eden Park will be able to see it better.

@machpants Think they definitely look nervous.
Great driving tackle from Ioane earlier.
But also an awful attempt at a chip
