All Blacks v Pumas 1

Victor Meldrew

I'm not a tall man (hovering around 6ft) but I found it cramped and uncomfortable, very tight to manoeuvre in and out of the row,

Sounds exactly like Twickenham these days

Hard to go to that stadium people in CHCH are just fucked off with it
the stadium is made of scaffolding, you walk through near ankle deep water when its raining, the price of the tickets compared to the experience is not worth it.

Lets see if all the other tests in NZ sell out or are people losing their love for rugby in NZ, NPC crowds are small in a lot of areas SR crowds were down this season.

Rugby is taking a back seat with kids these days more play Football in NZ.
While others are playing playstation and basketball or stealing cars and ram raiding shops.

is that the old league ground from the 70s ?

I remember as a kid the aussies or the poms would tour and play 3 tests ,

usually first and third at Carlaw park in Auckland , and the second one in christchurch , Addington ??

Yep that’s it the old Addington league ground

looked like an old stadium then

Yes it was ancient now.

Pumas thumped Aussies last week. We narrowly beat the Boks. Now the Aussies have thumped the Boks.

Obviously Pumas are clear favourites. We will do well to keep it close.

Fuck me, watching the AB's walking to the field reminds me of the scene from This is Spinal Tap when they couldn't find the stage

Good luck both teams, let's hope for a competitive game where the good guys come out on top.

745, delayed cos ozzie game at weird time

Where's the music? Argentina national anthem is normally a favourite but it's a bit bland without music.

Ours is bland either way but certainly better with music.

What are they thinking?

I missed the Aussie game completely. That's a bit weird to have an early kick off.

They need to ban female singers of national anthems, so fucking high no one can get there apart from eunuchs

Without music I'm not sure it works for soprano.
