I think we're all old enough that losing finals to Canterbury has been a consistent part of the life of a Lions fan. Let's hope these boys can flip that around and replicate the 2000 team.

Go well boys.

100%, let’s finally turn the tide in our favour. It’s 22 years too long.

Wellington fans aren't falling for that, we've been in this situation plenty of times. We have already claimed the underdogs tag.

Given that I hope both teams lose* what are the tie breakers for this?

• • maybe hoping Wellington lose a little less than Canterbury

Surely no neutral wants anything other than a Cant loss.

BS! Are there Canterbury players in the Welly squad?

Legitimately I'd be supporting anyone against Cant in a final.

Only because they're Kiwis do I despise them less than the Australian cricket team. And it's close.

Anyone heard news about the Canterbury side? I wonder if they are waiting on a few players to be given the all clear? Seems to be very late in the week to be announcing a team for a final.
