SR T-T FINAL: Blues v Highlanders

[African Monkey]

@kiwimurph Yeah would rather see Choat in too on the bench personally and hope we don't go down the road of playing two 7s like we did against the Crusaders, so hopefully we just slot Akira in at 6.

Surely Beauden Barrett would have been better than Otere Black - or he is not actually available?

[Frank]

@frank Okay replying to myself- Barrett ineligible. Didn't know that.

[Machpants]

@frank but also, no. First game back after two weeks in quarantine, a final? Nah, need barely be upto speed on the gameplans let alone ready for NZ SR internet after powder puff Japanese rugby

[Kirwan]

Blues have made a lot of progress when you consider how strong that team looks without Ofa, Robinson, BB and Clarke.

We'll miss Tom's interacting with the referee. Pat is awesome, but a bit passive in that area. He'll need to be good with Aaron doing his thing

I mean, bit personal but after making the final, probably yeah. He's married right?

[Bones]

Fuck I hope Gilbert isn't covering midfield.

Rumour is he disintegrates if placed there.

[Dice]

TV One News mentioned that Leon will sign a long term deal with the Blues after the final.

[Bones]
