not for about 2 or even 3 or 4 decades

I don't think i've heard 'Queen St Yanks' since it was superseded by the always affectionate 'jafa'.

From the quote, I thought it was the name of a team of some sort

Naitoa Ah Kuoi is also out with concussion. Where's BBBR?

[Donsteppa]

Might be one of those weeks where anyone with boots and a mouthguard handy is at risk of playing...

@Bones Kiwi troops were big defenders of Crete around 1941. Scene of some of Charles Upham's early heroics.
Hot there yet?

Hunting magpies?

Thanks for starting this thread. Didn’t even know there was a game on this week. Super rugby is soooo 2023 (2022, 2019, 2018, 2017…)

Yeah we go every year... and seem to attract a heatwave. Hit 38 a couple of days. Back in tropical Orpington now.

@antipodean looks like north, east and west basically sold out

They're filling the ends of the south stand now.

Carn the Blues! Looks like a sellout is coming.

[WillieTheWaiter]

bloody hell didn't think it would actually sell out only just managed to grab some tickets!

[Daffy Jaffy]

[No Quarter]

A sold out Eden Park is always an awesome experience, the atmosphere will be electric

[KiwiMurph]

Sounds like they might try and sneak in a few more via temporary seating

[Duluth]

Nice, that'll be the 3rd time into the mid 40ks in the last few years (45k in the final two years ago, 43k vs Canes in 2020)
