<p>It looks like a night on the Guinness followed by a torn anus.</p> -
<p>I remember not even being all that happy after the last World Cup final, had a massive tension headache and collapsed in bed in relief. Was a horrible game to watch with only a one point lead. Hopefully we smash the Aussies and I can actually enjoy the final this time.</p>

<p>We are more composed this time, based on our performances to date. Hopefully this will carry us through</p> -

<p>agreed, it was tough to watch - I was completely shattered afterwards</p> -
Neck feeling tense now.

<p>Yeah - if we got 40 points in front my jaw might start to unclench a fraction......if there were three minutes left!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't see any prospect of actual enjoyment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I hope for it to be slighter better than a trip to the dentist to have all of your teeth removed without anaesthetic.</p> -
<p>I already had a tooth pulled this week, that better be the worst thing i have to face</p>

<p>Actually it will feel worse for Aussie fans if we get 20 points up with 3 to go.</p>

<p>A few years back, Otago hadn't won on Eden Park for something like 30 years. They were up by 13 points with 90 seconds to go.... and they lost (I think Joe Rok scored at least one of the tries).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm scarred by that knowledge!</p> -

<p>My boy pulled out three of his own this week. Up your game.</p> -
<p>It was 1996. A young M4L was in the stands watching BOP play for the Shield, expecting a fun day in Auckland, and some beers afterwards. Suddenly, holy shit! There is 8 minutes to go, and we are up by 18!!! Fucking come on!! Of course Auckland came right back, but not back enough, 80 minutes, we're still up by 6! And it's our scrum feed!! Win the scrum, kick it out, take home the shield!! I'm cheering and laughing and it's an unbelievable day. Wait, what? holy shit, no! they couldn't, could they? Carrington? You fucking traitor!! Miss the kick you fluffybunny. Tero. Noooooo!!!! Fuck you rugby gods, why?!!!</p>

<p>It's a good start to getting rid of your DNA and giving himself a chance I guess</p> -
<p>I absolutely HATE it when commentators start wanking on about an unassailable lead. Always reminds me of that test against the Boks and Murray Mexted laughing heartily that the clock was ticking down and the Boks only had to score three times in quick succession to win.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Which they then proceeded to do.</p> -

<p>In recent times I've loved the league tests between the Kiwis and Kangaroos and the obligatory Gus Gould and Rabbs say it's over and we've pulled it out of the bag.</p> -

<p>worst one i (vaguely) remember was an NPC semi Waikato v Counties.. we were spanking them. Buck Anderson was the ground MC and was on the mic telling people what time the final was on at the ground next week.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then Joeli Vidiri cut loose and scored about a zillion points in a very short period of time.</p>
