<p>8am Califiornia time and I will be listening on the iphone while I watch my daughter play soccer. Can't get out of it and the boys game is at 910am. Hope to watch the replay with my English and Welsh friends in the afternoon. Hadyn (Welsh) bristles whenever I mention the dive. Go ABs. </p>

<p>I'm too old for an all nighter and really don't want to meet up with a bunch of people who have been drinking for 10 hours. I'm going to be somewhere where the neighbours are a long way away and then I am going to scream, yell, swear, mutter dire warnings, pace the room, punch things and tell anyone who speaks to SHUTTHEFUCKUP!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I will make sure to take my blood pressure tabs before turning TV on as if its anything like 2011 I will need all the medication I can get.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If we win - it will be time to cook a bloody feast for breakfast, go for a walk, go the pub and devour every media report from every country on the globe.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If the unthinkable happens. I won't talk - possibly for days. I will probably manage to go on Fern to congratulate the Aussies but I will avoid radio, TV and every other outlet for the rabid whingers. Telling everyone that it's only a game and not believing if for a moment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'll get over it pretty quickly though. By Xmas I should be coming right.</p> -

So, if late inclusion Quade Cooper steps around McCaw and Read before throwing a 30m cut-out pass to Mitchell then follows around to score before kicking the winning conversion from the sideline, best not to call you?<br><br>
Noted. -

Blood pressure. Rising. <br><br><br>
Bloody waiting for the game... -
<p>Going shopping on Saturday for a bottle of bubbles, beers, bacon, sausages and so on.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The result will probably dictate whether or not any of the alcohol gets consumed. Lose and in the cupboard it will go.</p> -
<p>Only time I had champagne on ice was for 1995 final never again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have (sad but true) a little shrine in my bedroom with memorabilia from 2011 final including 3 unopened cans from Eden Park that night.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I figure counting this weekend I'm unlikely to see more than 6 more finals so I can probably drink one every time we win.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope to be in Tokyo in 4 years to replenish supplies.</p> -

Only way Kqwaiyd throws a 30m cut put pass is if it's forward, so in Ayoub (is he the TMO?) we trust...:( -

<p>Was offered a couple of tickets to go but turned them down. Am I mad? I want to watch the game on telly where I can get truly fucking emotional, rant, throw things, etc. Can never see squat at the stadium and can't be arsed trying to fight my way out of Twickers. God I'm getting old.</p>

<p>Have you replaced your telly or are you going to watch through the window at Currys? :)</p> -

<p>I remember in 2011, Wales filled the Millennium Stadium for the French semi final. I wish that we could do that with Eden Park here. I reckon if you charged people $10 to get in, lots would be keen.</p>

<p>That would be cool, I'd go if they did something similar in Wellington.</p> -

Meh I was more thinking along the lines of quade stepping inside Ritchie for a left footed droppie to win the game<br><br>
Now that would lead to some serious violence!! -

<p>The Auckland Marathon that morning would look like a fucking zombie apocalypse!</p> -
Well looking on the bright side, I can sit back and enjoy this one without knawing my fingers to the bone. Will be round a mates house - we'll cook up a meal, shove it the oven, have a few glasses watching the game with the kids - then the families will eat together share a few yarns - then off to the pub. <br><br>
Been following this routine for most matches now and it's been a great way of getting the kids into it, plus I don't get smashed during the game which makes it much more enjoyable.<br><br>
I don't know who I'm going to root for - ABs easily the team of the tourney, but Aus have serious underdog status, and Poms are conditioned to support hope over expectation. So ultimately I hope whoever plays the best rugby wins and it doesn't hinge on a poor decision or a piece of bad luck. <br><br>
It would certainly be a fitting end for some of the modern legends in the AB camp - but sport rarely gives you what you deserve, you are what you take. Roll on Saturday.
