@KiwiMurph nice, might turn the tv around and watch whilst sitting in the sun!

@NTA might be able to confirm but I think Junee came back to play club rugby after his stint with the Roosters.
I believe you're right. A few have done that for a bit of a trot with mates or an old club.
Note for those referencing "Western Sydney" - Bankwest Stadium in North Parramatta is only 7km west of ANZ as the crow flies.
ANZ is 15km west of the CBD. To the Rugby People in Sydney, both stadiums are "West". As fuck.

We also haven't had an update on Jordan. But if he failed his HIA he won't be available for selection in this game.
Given his history they should be extra cautious. He shouldn't play again until Super Rugby
Apparently the Super season he missed wasn't concussion, but some sort of inner ear problem.

Just be thankful they don't play Rugby in Alice Springs.
They do
Ute-mounted scrum machine FTW!
And in Darwin but only at night and only during dry season I think.

@broughie surely the AB coaches plus strength and conditioning guys do some sort of testing to see how fast players are, or do we not have that sort of testing in NZ yet?
-
@taniwharugby Yes I assume they do and they probably take into account the position played. However they weren’t quick on the uptake on NMS when he came back from his injury. They have their favorites just sayin.

Anyone in Sydney going along? I'm considering getting a cheap seat just for the spectacle.
Got offered 2 x freebies from work, I could even have swung you an invite given your industry, but I have prior engagement 😡

Tell me about it. Accepted invite before I knew the tix were available. Still, prior engagement is a BBQ at a rugby-mad saffas house, so there will be rugby, beer and boerwurst for Africa available. Not so bad.

Earlier game time this weekend.
Kick off at 5pm Sydney time/7pm NZ time.
That's another thing i like about it - no late night for this old bloke 😉
But that's just after 3am in Buenos Aires...
It's ok, nobody there is fussed. It's just a friendly.

Live aid is so much different these days.

Helpful map of rugby in Sydney (Bankwest excluded except for 2-hour bursts a couple times a year)
Looking at that reminds me of a couple of mates who live in the eastern suburbs that say “western Sydney, yeah Rozelle. Anything beyond that is not Sydney”
BankWest stadium is a beauty. I haven’t watched a match there yet but got a tour last year.

Yeah it looks great. A mate at work is a Parramatta fan so has been to a few games, he loves it

My team:
Moody/Coles/Laulala/Savea/Whitelock/Patty T/Aoane/Sotutu/Smith/Ritchie/ALB(12)/Goodhue/Clarke/Roane/Barrett (B)
Bench Karl T/Aumua/Lomax/Vai'i/Papali'i/Weber/PUJ/Barrett (J)
Think Taylor and Cane could do with a rest. Good for Aumua to get some more minutes.
Assuming Ofa suspended.
Like to see Akira get another start, but not too fussed if Frizell back. Blood PUJ. Or could run 6:2 split with Akira on bench, Rieko covering midfield and Jordie 14/15.
My temp gauge is showing 35 outside, might be time to crank the aircon soon. Fucken summer is upon us.
