Blues v Rebels

The weather is glorious, been to the pub for a couple of lunchtime pints, going to be great weather for rugby at a (hopefully) packed Eden Park.

Carn the Blues! Statement performance incoming

so, slightly more sober, I'm a born bloody optimist. Hoping for a really good crowd, though, can't wait to get back to EP. I don't think I've been there this year for various reasons, despite having a season ticket.

Really keen to se how that loose forward trio performs, and how Perofeta goes at 10 with a coach and gameplan that seem to be suiting him. Anda 9 who can pass of course

An hour before kickoff surprisingly quiet here. People slowly coming in

Glorious night for rugby, hardly any wind, cool not cold and no visible dew yet. Great to be back at live rugby

It's the deep breath before the plunge.

I am so amped, can't wait. Feels great here

Robinson and Tucker might be competing for the same spot in the top 23. One is more of a lock/loosie the other a loosie/lock

Should be a good internal competition to watch

Same poor start from Blues as last week.

[Duluth]

Haha what a shocking start

[KiwiMurph]

Haha the producer at sky cuts camera angles at the worst possible time

[Stargazer]

What the heck is happening?

[Tim]

What the hell?

[KiwiMurph]

I didn't think it was possible to start worse than last week.

I stand corrected

[Duluth]

Better

[antipodean]

Good response.

[Victor Meldrew]

Christie hesitated and became unsighted.

[Donsteppa]

Nice Friday night game of touch before a few beers…!

[Bones]

God I love that aspect of Sotutu's game.

[KiwiMurph]

Credit Tucker for spinning it straight away

[Mattasaurus]

Really liked RIs contribution in that try.

[Stargazer]

It's a pity the "Tries for Tonga" fundraising has finished. Already three tries.
