I see Caleb Clarke is still injured. Hope he's okay for Ireland.

Is one of the boxes Dalton has to complete the misconduct hearing? Or has that all been swept under the carpet.

Considering how quickly Frizell was whisked back into the ABs and how quickly Reece was whisked into the ABs I highly doubt a misconduct hearing is anything but a rubber stamp.

Gotta say this one is too tough to call, and I am just going to enjoy it as rugby spectacle.

Crusaders tight 5 make them favourites. Getting All Blacks back is massive; their engine room is massive.

Coin-toss. Should be a very tense game.

Wish it was played in the afternoon.

According to the Blues posters their whole team should be ABs anyway so it evens out.

@nzzp not true. I’ll never have Matera in my All Black side

considering the vast majority of the nation's starting All Blacks are playing, if this game lacks quality then we are fucked.

Tho the weather looks a bit ordinary. Prefer an afternoon game in the sunshine.

[Crucial]

@NTA That says more chance of rain in the afternoon.

I didn't say otherwise.

Wasn't saying the arvo would be better, but stating my general preference for daytime footy under a cool winter sky

Gallagher is better than Strange wtf, and couldn't they go without Kellow and have 2 big bodies Strange & Gallagher on pine? because the Blues pack is significantly bigger & Christie will likely need to be subbed off again like in the last encounter.

TAB currently has the Blues as $1.80 favs...

Too close to call for me. Look forward to a great game and hope there's no major injuries.

[Tim]

@Mattasaurus Line is at 0.5 pts, so basically a draw.

that's basically it, isn't it. No injuries would be great - it'll be a cracking game anyway
