@Canes4life
JGB 100 x games
On a negative note ticket sales are not going well according to a contact at the Union office which is a real shame with the bad weather and the long weekend possibly 3-5k.
Its a real shame this is going to be one hell of a match up
I suspect Wellington Rugby cant wait until their contract with the Sky stadium expires then a shift is well truly on the cards

They should build stands at NZCIS, it will well and truly pay off over time.

@Canes4life I’m not going because this is incredibly stupid but the last two NPC finals I went too we lost. So hoping if I don’t go we’ll win. But seriously I’ve already taken my boy to a game and is more into the Phoenix now that he’s playing Football.

Would be good for them to state how many mins played for each player when showcasing these match-ups. I think Broughton has played quite a few more games than Shields this year, likewise with Higgins who I'd say has taken the field a fair few more times more than Halaholo but could be wrong.

TAB odds feel about right. And also good because we're not that far out either.

@mikey07 So to summarize.....scared

[barky1]

Has anyone noticed the game has been pushed back to 3:05pm?

[Canes4life]

@barky1 wasn't it always 3.05pm? I think 2.30pm is build up on Sky.

[barky1]

Pretty sure it was advertised at 2:05 up until a day or two ago

Willis has played every game despite Reon Paul playing better. Only came right last couple of matches. Higgins has not played all matches.

@barky1 No it’s a cost thing we’re going to the Auckland FC game he’s been to the BOP round robin game. With the cost involved with transport food etc just can’t afford to go to 3 games this year.

That makes his stats even more impressive then.

@barky1 it was mentioned 3.05pm kick-off on the Breakdown on Sunday.

A BOP win will give the Chiefs region the full set of provincial trophies:
Ranfurly Shield
Meads Cup
Lochore Cup
FPC

To be fair, it is a weird time and I can't recall a game starting at 3.05pm before. 2 or 2.30pm is what we are used to for afternoon footy so I bet it will be confusing for a lot of people. Let's hope the rain stays away.

Sky are wanting the NPC final to lead into the AB-Japan test coverage.

[Canes4life]

Wellington team for the final. Not sure who the reserve hooker is.

Is it Hika Elliot I wonder?

Wouldn't be the worst SOS in the world.
