@Duluth it's our time, no more bridesmaid!
Against the team with the best regular season record of the millennium and after being beaten 45-8 in the regular season?
It's just the sort of fucking annoying thing that happens!!!
Yay North-North-Canterbury!

@jegga God is with us!
you fuckers are taking your "crusaders light" thing too far now!!
Just look at that sickening symbolism. Sick. En. Ing.

@mariner4life Tremendous stuff!
Thinking about the discussion in another thread - how come there isn't a play-off for third in the Mitre 10 Cup?
I'd have quite enjoyed watching Canterbury and Auckland trotting about lethargically in a curtain-raiser!
-
Considering this is Wellington in a final, and they always lose a final, it makes the impending Crusaders-light choke job even more damning

Yeah - could be watching Wellington hoist the Cup and then hurrying home to watch Maro Itoje leaping about and fist pumping in victory.
Be hard to come up with a more miserable evening of rugby watching - and take heed from 2000 - "When Wellington rugby is strong, NZ rugby is piss-weak!"

Looking at that Ta$man side they would have to be hot favourites now that Taufua and Jordan are locked in, however Wellington also have the firepower to do the job aswell. Should be a cracker, bring it on Mako.
-
Hopefully Goosen isn’t fully scratched. He has been our best this year and we will need his experience on the bench.

Big weakness at loosehead for Ta$man, be interesting to watch how Wellington targets it.
I just had a look at the two teams that played in Round 1.
That day our looseheads were our fifth and sixth choices - Ryan Coxon and Sam "The Rock" Prattley!
Both teams a bit stronger than that day.
-
@Canes4life I'm slightly concerned that Ta$man might have a late withdrawal or two due to several injury clouds.
Hope not - losing Blackadder is enough.
-
@Chris-B yeah that Taufua knock looked pretty bad. I'm suprised to see him starting this week.
-
@Canes4life Me too.
I guess if you get a glancing blow to the temple maybe it stuns you without giving a concussion?
I guess they've done all the protocols.
