    @Hooroo 57 points worth of tickling?

    It will be some sorta ticklin, make no mistake.

    We have the forward pack to keep it close, like in round one. We aren’t going to win this, especially away and especially against the Crusaders.

    But we can make them work for it.

    I think they will win by 20 points minimum

    Keep safe Blues, these Crusaders are dodgy and have a horrible culture.

    Bunch of cheating bar stewards, too....

    🙄

    Our biases tend to mean we think our sides are lily white angels and the other guys dastardly cheats.

    That's me! I actually shock myself with how balanced I am watching two teams play when one of them isn't mine. It's a different rugby watching experience. Monkey brain I guess 🙂

    Was at its worst after the Lions tour, when people tried to argue until they were blue in the face that the series-deciding non-penalty in the third test was the right call.

    That really was an outstanding bit of cheating - the perpetrator wasn't even on the field!

    Fair enough, so that's the Hooroo par. So anything less than that is a huge victory for the Blues. Sold!

    Yeah, that is fair, if you get within 20 points that is a good result for your lot. I don't think they are good enough to do that though.

    In fact if you didn't score a try, that wouldn't surprise me either.

    No, It would have hurt at beginning of season when I had a bit of optimism.

    Watching it with Duluth, I never really thought we were going to win that game.

    We are nearly as bad as your lot have been with Tana at the steering wheel. I think next year we will be on par with the Tana Blues if Cooper is still there (Which it looks as though he will be)

    @Kirwan actually what hurt was not winning a Whiskey off @Duluth but I had resigned myself to that before Kick-off

    @nzzp Haha yeah I don't mind seeing us lose as long as it isn't a repeat of 2017 which was real heartbreaking. I'd rather watch us lose 70-0 tbh.

    I see 6 potential DNPs on our bench. Like an NBA team in the playoff, we seem to be tightening our rotation. Although, our bench props should be able to match the Crusaders' bench props, so they might get on this week.

    Been extremely foggy here last few nights, rugby this morning was in thick fog till 11am and couldn't see full field! Fog has rolled in now, not sure what it will be like at the game but could be the final all over again.

    Not sure where you are but I’m down Lincoln road (5 min walk from the stadium) there’s no fog here

    @SammyC Some of the replies to that were quite amusing as well - but I can't seem to find them anymore...

    Definitely don’t look like a bunch of metrosexuals from Auckland

    That fog photo is pretty misleading I think, it’s still clear where I am
