@Canes4life being a proud Wellingtonian I reckon Canterbury just due to our poor records against them in Finals
Nah surely we have to make it to the final? Always the bridesmaid!

What Rugby World Cup? This is the most important knock out rugby game on this weekend.
No, it's not.

With poor scheduling from Mitre 10 Cup administrators, this game will clash with the first World Cup quarter-final so I am expecting a fairly poor crowd.
The administrators are presumably New Zealand Rugby. As I've been pointing out for a while, when it comes to organizing competitions they are borderline incompetent.
Super Rugby. Mitre10 Cup. Ranfurly Shield - not often part of sentences that include well-run, fair and balanced competitions.

Yeah exactly, if NZRU say the competition shouldn't clash with the RWC, I'm pretty sure NPC Administrators have to follow suit. This is shit that not only is it still running alongside, but is actually clashing with games, let alone finals games!
-
@Bones Yeah - I hadn't actually compared the kick-off times but for the record...
This one apparently kicks off at 19.05 (NZT) and England-Australia apparently kicks off at 20.15 (NZT). Because no-one in Wellington or Canterbury wants to watch England play Australia.
It's bullshit!
Probably corporate bullshit!
Edit: And could easily have been played on Sunday afternoon.

@Nevorian without seeing the stats I’d say he’s played close to half of those in the last 3 seasons too.
-
Well this match came alive while I got a refill.
-
@antipodean yeah I started watching. I'll be switching over for the England game though (with a smile) knowing nothing much will happen after that.
-
Hey fellas, what time does the game start?
-
Wellys taking over!! Lesgo! @Higgins hope your enjoying those scrums these "boys" are holding their own Frank's got pumped in one of them bring on 2nd half
