Crusaders v Highlanders (QF)

[Bovidae]

Could we see a repeat of this?

This tweet seems to suggest the Landers are on their way to Chch:

I heard earlier on the radio they were due to fly out before midday...

not the best of preparation for either team, but particularly the Highlanders with disrupted travel and preparation, but I guess one of the unforeseen advantages of hosting the game.

Senior club semi finals postponed till tomorrow.... first time I can remember this happening. Have watched games in snow blizzards before

[taniwharugby]

Is it easing (obviously for the locals as much as the rugby)

Still hosing down mate... doubt very much it will be close to a sell out with this weather.

I've got 2 spare tickets and it's impossible to find anyone that wants them.

[taniwharugby]

@SammyC yeah I've seen things popping up on FB with people from Dunedin who cant get there trying to off load tickets too.

Shame, cos this game promised to be a cracker, and even with the drainage of the grounds these days, she will be very wet under foot

@SammyC Haha a guy at my work is trying to do the same thing but is also struggling to find anyone keen to go.

@Stargazer Have never understood why they can't get covers on the ground, at least during the day of the game, and just remove them before the players do their drills before the game.

[taniwharugby]

@akan004 the guys on the radio today said they would have had covers on...

Nick Evans makes a great pundit.

"...you think of Conor Murray, for the English fans out there.. "

Love it. Wind those Paddy's up nick.

did Goodhue just vomit?

That huge territory loss was from Aaron Smith's bad kick.

[Stockcar86]

Head clash, nothing in it

[taniwharugby]

wonder how many of the empty seats have had tickets purchased for them?

Here comes the TMO...

Squire you moron. Needless yellow card.
