Waratahs v Chiefs

[Provincial Stalwart]

<p>I'd have though "Bernie" would be more appropriate with the Democratic presidential primaries going on. Mind you, the Colonel is a durable sort of character (and he pipes the fuck out of that smell at dinner time) whereas soon Bernie Sanders will be a footnote in history.</p>

[Bovidae]

<p>Vaipulu was also unavailable for selection - he picked up a head knock playing club rugby last weekend.</p>

[NTA]

<p>Jed Holloway not named as he's out for the season. Dislocating his shoulder a couple of weeks back has produced an issue or something.</p>

[KiwiMurph]

<p>You have to wonder if Holloway was brought back too early - he was originally supposed to be out until the June break, then magically re-appears then re-injures the shoulder...</p>

<p>I hear they only serve mid strength beer at Waratahs games now. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>it's one thing that has dramatically improved at Crusaders games this year, we have a monteiths stall that sells 7 or 8 different brews.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good riddance to those horrible plastic bottles of tui</p>

<p>I actually don't drink when watching rugby. But am happy for the drinkers to have better beer inside the ground.</p>

<p>No alcohol</p>
<p>No Mexican waves</p>
<p>No costumes</p>
<p>No cheering loudly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm like the new Wellington 7s rules.</p>

[antipodean]

<p>I think we can win this. As long as we don't have a 15 mins spell like we did to start the game last week, we'll do well. Particularly when you consider that the Crusaders forward pack is much better than the Chiefs.</p>

<p>Fark you are boring.</p>

<p>The only one I agree on is no Mexican waves, ban them</p>

<p>Your scrum was much better than I expected last week. Can definately dominate the chiefs up front</p>

<p>Kids? Surely they must annoy you too!</p>

[Crucial]

<p>No mention of playing songs at every break in play?</p>

[Donsteppa]

Make it like the Sistene Chapel and have someone SHHHHH the crowd on a regular basis?

[NTA]

<p>My advice if you're going: get there early. Swans game on (sold out apparently, which the Tahs game won't be), some form of concert at Hordern Pavilion, and Vivid Festival starts tonight I'm told.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Moore Park is going to be fucked up as usual with commuter traffic, and then they're going to put another 60,000+ people on top of that (assuming 45k at Swannies, another couple of thousand at concert or just milling about).</p>

<p>Yep, I'm going, check your PM's</p>

[MN5]

<p>$16 bucks for a couple of Monteiths mid strengths at the cake tin, cos y'know, wouldn't want any hops, alcohol or flavour to seep in and get people pissed during a 90 minute window would we ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fuck you fun police.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mind you makes the already good Panheads, Parrrot Dogs etc that you have after the game taste like beer of the gods in comparison I guess.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In saying that I hear tonight is a sellout.</p>
