considering the vast majority of the nation's starting All Blacks are playing, if this game lacks quality then we are fucked.
We still have all those Chiefs ABs to up the quality of our national side...

Yep, doing Mooloos quite a big disservice I think, Chiefs have 10, Crusaders 11, (Blues 13) and Chiefs have lots of potential future AB forwards such as Dyer, Norris, Thompson, McWhannell, even Ah Kauhoi, also Ratima/Roe in halves. Gideon Wrampling likely to be a future AB midfielder.

@nzzp not true. I’ll never have Matera in my All Black side until they change the eligibility rules.
I think the second half of your sentence fell off, but don't worry I added it back in.
That’s just more hate from within. Sith.

I find it funny that you don't realise you're part of the Empire.

Ah yes, thank you for those names, the All Blacks are indeed in safe hands.

@Nepia You need to forgive whoever it was that hurt you. Only then will you be free from the pain and will start to heal.

BLUES VIRTUALLY UNCHANGED FOR FINAL — Blues Rugby
An exciting lineup has been selected to take on the Crusaders in Saturday’s sell-out Grand Final of the DHL Super Rugby Pacific at Eden Park on Saturday. The forwards remain the same as the semifinal win over the Brumbies, which means that openside flanker Adrian Choat, the only player to have been

Yeah Kellow came on. Made a few tackles too in his short stint. Ran with the ball a couple of times.

Over 45,000 tickets have already been sold for the season finale of Super Rugby Pacific between the Blues and Crusaders on Saturday night - the first fixture to fill every seat at Eden Park since the opening Bledisloe Cup test last August - but this morning Eden Park Trust chief executive Nick Sautner told Newstalk ZB that the stadium has worked out a unique way to pack a few more fans in. "We've been working with the Blues and we've implemented a standing-room area on the field of play - something unique, given the demand for the event has been unprecedented," Sautner said. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, 20 years since the Blues' last success in 2003 so we're just excited to be able to provide this limited area and opportunity for fans." The chance to watch a premier rugby event from the sidelines, surrounded by over 45,000 screaming rugby fans, can be taken up at midday today via the Ticketmaster website. Along with the sideline-based tickets, Sautner said that there would also be a limited release from the stadium's members and corporate areas. -
@KiwiMurph that right there is very cool
and this an awesome response from the public too. Should be a good spectacle. Lets hope they actually make a bit of noise.

You’ll see fuck all, but still cool

@mariner4life just want a cracker of a game, no cards, just good rugby for everyone to enjoy and maybe reignite some peoples love of the game!
Might be a little damp underfoot, but not too bad.

Were nice and noisy for the Brumbies, I suspect there will be a bit more for the Crusaders!

There's not enough therapy in the world that can reverse the effects of 12 months of living in Christchurch.
