Highlanders v Blues
-
just saw on the highlanders facebook story what looked like 10. Ioane 12. Collins...then Hunt...that must be 15 coming into the line

The missus has convinced me that we should go down for this game so I'll be attending this game. I think shes worried that I'll break the TV one day during a Blues game hence the reason to drag me to dunners instead haha but Im not complaining, never been to forsyth Barr before which I'm looking forward to seeing.
I feel like an upset could be on here. We usually get done down there and Smith really does lift the rest of the side.

@African-Monkey great stadium, almost as good as the caketin. Watch out for @Smudge lurking in the loos.

I've been there once, for a test match. Stadium is nice but our seats in the temporary stadium on the end were tight as, and the other facilities were pretty scant

You're on six figures aren't you.

@African-Monkey you'll love it, a great place to watch rugby. I went in 2011, and was blown away by it - just a wonderful stadium, one of the top 3 rugby in NZ (NH, Waikato, Dunedin).
-
@Kiwiwomble Yeah sitting in the North Stand. Looks a good view from there so looks like I chose the right stand then haha.

Despite Beauden Barrett taking a limited part in training today as he recovers from the knock to the ribs he sustained against the Chiefs, he is expected to retain his place at first five-eighth, with Otere Black likely to come off the bench and Matt Duffie at fullback. The Blues are expected to, therefore, name a largely unchanged side for the Highlanders, with No 8 Hoskins Sotutu also absent from their field session as he continues to recover from his knee injury that kept him sidelined for the past two matches. Hooker James Parsons also remains unavailable with ongoing concussion symptoms. -

wow...coaches might have seen the same thing we did towards the end of the chiefs game
-
@Kiwiwomble surely Reiko one on one is a nightmare match up for Collins? Especially given his acceleration of the first two steps?
-
@mariner4life cant argue with that other than very few people in the comp are a match for him...thats why hes an AB
our whole backline is pretty vanilla...small/thin fast guys (nareki, koroi, hunt) or slightly more built but slower guys (Thompson, collins and even theyre not really big guys)....sio is the closest we probably have to a bit of both in the current group being selected...its a long way from when we had Fekitoa, naholo and osborune

There’s granny flats in every suburb, even the posh ones.
