The trouble is we're a slippery shapeshifting*

*borrowed that from another poster, but great word for it!

I'll take credit for coining that phrase 😊 They are just amazing to watch at the moment, really got shown by the 1014 who were creaming themselves about what the ABs were doing

She's a done deal according to some analytical thingee-ma-jig

So when does the game start (NSW time)? I'm starting to go stir crazy and responding to laws debates.

@SynicBast in 4 hours and 40 minutes...

[SynicBast]

@Bones Thank you...might have to sequester myself in the garden shed with the laptop away from the annoying 3 year old

[Bones]

@SynicBast I'm actually a lot older than that, but fair enough.

Well If true , I guess the only surprise element maybe where they send their runners , has he identified something in our defence that he thinks he can exploit ?

Dunno, an intercept worked last time though.

Stop it , I don’t need reminding right now .

At a bar 1km from Yokohama stadium. It is stonking hot and sunny. Lucky the beer is cold

[BerniesCorner]

@nzzp a genuine supporter, once you saw B scoring in his corner you were hooked on this game for life. A whole generation of Wellingtonians will never forget.

[canefan]

The vibe is great here, talked to lots of different fans, everyone is up for the game

[Siam]

@canefan you reckon it'll be a rain free game mate?

[SynicBast]

Damn, three year old is back early and hopped up on sugar so I'm going to open the bottle of Berton Durif I was given today - not my usual tipple but the three year old requires some degree of warding through alcoholic haze in order for me to survive.
Hopefully I make the bottle last until kickoff

[gt12]

Off to the ground soon.

Weather looks good so hopefully the surface isn’t too wet from yesterday!

No rain likely. But it's still early.....

[Rembrandt]

Nervous times in the Rembrandt household. Having a few folk over for the game but a few hours ago a weird weather event came through our neighbourhood, sudden rain and heavy wind. It ripped our neighbours roof off and is now resting mid air on some powerlines.
Police and news media arrived sharpish but no sign as yet from power company or whomever would be equipped to move a displaced roof. Hoping like hell they can just isolate the power to that house or that side of the street..a power cut in a couple hours would not be ideal.

[kiwiinmelb]

I heard a forecast on the radio , they said no more rain likely

[canefan]

It is farken cranking here
