The last final Waikato hosted was in 2011 so there is no excuse if you are a Mooloo fan.

It will be interesting how many will attend. I wonder what the WRU see as a decent turnout? 10,000?

[Duluth]

@hooroo 5000?

[Bovidae]

I'd split the difference.

The biggest crowd this year would have been the Hawke's Bay RS defence, ~5000.

[Number 10]

Referee is Ben O'Keeffe.

[Bovidae]

I'll take him. Pickerill is all over the place so happy not to have him with the whistle.

@hooroo 5000?

Yeah prolly? I really have no idea. Haven't seen any real promotion for it outside of facebook but in saying that, I wouldn't expect to in the likes of Matamata etc

Gibbes has gone for more mobility at lock with McWhannell and will bring on the experienced Bond in the 2nd half. The same for Smith on the bench.

Reece to continue his try-scoring feats.

I thought he did that in the streets?

[Bovidae]

@nepia In a pub I believe.

A bit like John Timu. I happened to be in Freemans that night.

I don't know the Timu story. Dunedin?

No, Hamilton. Freemans was one of the names of the bar on the corner of Collingwood and Victoria Sts.

It was after a Waikato-Otago game in the CANZ series, so late 1980s or early 1990s. Timu chatted up a girl whose boyfriend objected and punched him.

I know Freemans in Hamilton ... $1 red wine nights.

But what has that story got to do with Reece's?

[Bovidae]

It wasn't meant to be a serious comment. Both incidents happened in a central city pub.

Oh, I thought you were saying Timu was arrested for assaulting his missus too.

Otago getting back into this game after a terrible defensive start.
