All Blacks vs Wallabies Bledisloe 2 Eden Park 14th Aug
-
Jordan to right wing.
Jodie Barrett to fullback.
Scott Barrett to the bench
Loosies Akira, Jacobson, and Ardie to start. Paps to the bench.
How far away are Moody and Ofa? They will make a big difference. -

NZR needs to reduce the ticket prices to get more people through the gate.
In this single instance, yes. Back to back at EP, with little notice -- I just acn't get excited enough about either team to fork out another $80.
Anyone know why Wellington got their test match taken away?
The plan was to play in concurrent weekends Auckland, Perth, weekend off, WElly.
Freezing the travel bubble stops that - so it's back to back in NZ, and then off to Aus. But ... this weekend is Beervana, and the stadium is full. So Eden Park is the option
Fuck YEAH !
Not coinciding particularly well with me and the other half getting both our houses ready to sell but thems the breaks.

Where All Blacks seek major change to lock away Bledisloe Cup
The All Blacks know they failed to display a ruthless edge against the Wallabies.
From a fitness perspective All Blacks hooker Dane Coles will undergo scans after another calf flare up forced a late change on the bench with Samisoni Taukei'aho taking his place. Coles' Hurricanes deputy, Asafo Aumua, is expected to re-join the squad this week after playing for Wellington in their victory over Northland on Saturday.
Blues prop Ofa Tu'ungafasi has gone under the knife for a second time in a matter of weeks to have another knee operation. Plumtree estimated Tu'ungafasi will be sidelined for a further three-to-four weeks. Ethan de Groot will remain with the squad as loosehead cover, while Joe Moody is nearing his return from foot surgery.

I will be in Auckland on Sat, but for an event that was organised because there was to be a weekend free of AB tests. That's worked out well!

@frank its boring, fucks the Wallabies up mentally and is bad for the game.
Do you even like rugby? All you ever do is whinge about Australia playing NZ (Super/internationals). Maybe league with State of Origin is more your speed?
-
Enjoy the game, it will the be ABs last one in NZ this year
-

@kiwimurph it'll probably be the lowest attendance percentage of any ABs test Vs a tier 1 nation. 50%? 60? The first one almost sold out I think, but Eden park is a shitty ground, the only beer was fucking awful Steinlager for 9.50 a can, and most of the rugby rubbish. I enjoyed the whole event, cos I like being into the live support vibe with banter and high fives with everyone around. But the experience provided at the ground really tries it's best to be rubbish and over priced as possible. And Foster's ABs are as often as not utter wank. Gregor's article about how overpriced rugby is post pandemic is right, how much streaming entertainment do you get for a single test ticket?
-
I thought NZR needed money?
Seriously tho it is a bit of an ask for locals to turn up two weeks in a row for the same opponent with likely the same outcome. I recall someone saying here that the cheapest seats were $80 which is poor form if you want to sell the joint out - particularly with travel restrictions.

There's no travel restrictions in NZ, or do you mean international visitors coming to the game? But yeah that's the point, tickets are over priced and the food/drink even more so
