@taniwharugby Was a solid season overall, but that was the worst possible way to end a season.
I feel for Faumuina and Luatua. Just a terrible way to send them off.
I don't.
They just finished beating the Lions, and then got to go on an extended holiday to Japan to hold an exhibition match.Martin Devlin was going berserk on Radiosport this morning, because apparently the Blues 12 days of acclimatization wasn't in Japan - it was in Fiji. He reckons it would have cost the Blues $300K.

Say what? Blues played a warm up game in Japan weekend before last.

@KiwiMurph You'll have to ask Devlin!
He was ranting about it for about an hour before noon.

you all misheard, he said Fuji

@KiwiMurph I don't mind Devlin.... in small doses. He's often quite entertaining.
Nice if he gets his facts straight, though.

was just reading that the highest EVER temperature recorded in Auckland is 30.5 degrees. GTFO. Are you kidding? That's it? Thought it would be way higher.
Almost a plausible alibi for falling the fuck apart when you have to not only go to 40 degree plus weather but also play a rugby match in it
ps I cannot believe I just bumped the thread chronicling possibly the worst debacle in Blues history
That's lower than I would think, but the humidity in Auckland can make it worse. I'd much rather a dry 30+ in Hawkes Bay than a humid 27 in Auckland.

A quick google search says that a temperature of 32.4C was recorded at Whenuapai in Feb 2012. Temperatures at the airport (Mangere) aren’t reflective of the temperature in the city.
I’m in Invers at the moment and we had a heatwave last weekend. The official temperature was 32.3C on Sunday but the weather station at the house I’m staying at said the outside temperature was 37.1C. RH was only 10% but it was still fuckin’ hot in the sun.
Try surviving in the SE of the USA in the summer.

@rocky-rockbottom 34.4 C in Albert Park apparently.
Would be hotter on Queen Street etc.

@bovidae yeah same as most places, bit daft really, I know the Whangarei Airport is often 6 or 7 degrees lower than in town.
Tuesday last week the 'official' temp was 26, but I was at a Funeral at Toll Stadium and the temp there was 35, my car told me it was 37 (which is usually about 2-3 deg higher than actual)
I expect the idiots that designed our flash bridge used that sort of data and the variance was only to about 25deg and then first summer it was complete, it wouldnt work as the metal expanded too much at 25deg.
