The whole thing with Pierce is a bit puzzling, while it is clear Darry has some talent, Pierce would have seemed a more logical choice to me.

Pierce is in the 23

@tim so Nock over his injury but not good enough this week.

Nock has had a raw deal this year. Christie is ok, but Ruru has been all over the place.

Looking forward to seeing what Akira can do at 8 as opposed to Sotutu.
His defence should be massive tonight.
Great challenge for the team, I'm really excited. If they peak for this, it'll be awesome and really set up a good finish to the comp. If we fluff it, it's because we're not good enough.

This game is the Blues' to lose. The Reds have been pretty average and only the Dmac red card helped them to get the win over the Chiefs. I can't see them beat the Blues, unless something similar happens.
true,
top of the table clash eh, best NZ team vs best Aus team
