Some player/team stats:

Thanks - those are very interesting. Can compare a few AB contenders to see some of what they do and don't.

Assuming you've got close to end of season ones for the other teams they might provide some pointers for the inevitable AB selection surprises.

Looking at the goal-kicking stats, DMac is looking like a solid option - but, you've got to wonder why the Canes were using Cameron and not Jordie.

I mentioned earlier in this thread that Ah Kuoi has concussion. He went off late in the SF.

It could be Thompson's last SR game.

Is this the 3rd sold out Super Rugby Pacific final at Eden Park?

Sititi was a Blues U20 captain. Another poach!

How did we let him go? So painful seeing him carve up the Canes at the Tin.

Anyone point me in the direction of where I can listen to this one online, pretty please? Unable to have my usual SR Final breakfast here in the UK and will be out and about instead.

@Bones cheers. Can’t get the app here, but I’ve found another way around it to get that station.

Weather forecast has turned wet - probably during the game.

Probably edge to the Blues with a wetter game? But I'm wearing wet weather gear tonight anyway (even if it looks like it'll be towards the end)

@game_film

As a backup, these guys will do a watch along commentary.

If it does rain I think it blunts one of the Chiefs chances

I think the Blues looked their most vulnerable this year when the Reds got the ball into the wide channels.. The Blues set up quite narrow and RI's pace covers a lot of ground. It wasn't just the tries it was moving the big pack around
