Argh.
Suits the Brumbies surely - wet is a leveller. Eden Park has great drainage though... but will hit the walkup crowd

On the positive side it makes it harder for Toole to do something freakish with his pace. Also keeps Cale narrower.. he was bossed around in the round robin match but is dangerous in the wide channels

Agree, but I think it takes away some of the Blues advantages. Winner will be the team that shows up focussed and physical. That brings the Brumbies right into it - the wider channels will be less able to break open the game.

That said, the rain should be done in the next few hours, and EP dries really fast. Could still hvae a great surface to play on!

Loose forward Akira Ioane passed a fitness test at Thursday’s captain’s run after a calf injury scare and will start at blindside flanker.

Weather update : the rain has blown through, strong wind but blue sky and dry at the moment. Cool. Gusty.

[nzzp]

You're missing wind from you snip @Tim

[nzzp]

@Tim was on the train before, so here's the forecast with the strong winds

[nzzp]

seriously, it's drying fast here, blue skies, but damn windy wiht very strong gusts. I mean, it's not Wellington, but it is windy

[Machpants]

Next lot is coming, just hitting Whangarei now. That rain is rotating clockwise and pushing South. Never use that timeline for rain, it's useless

How is the weather?

[Machpants]

Looking at the radar, little shower just went past, should be clear for the game

[Canes4life]

Plenty of empty seats

[Bovidae]

No Slipper or Hooper.

Those watching on Stan: Is Justin Harrison rugby's version of Gus Gould?

[nzzp]

Ah, TJ commentating. Listen for the salty tears.

[nzzp]

Darry has bulked up a lot. Big test for him tonight.

[Yeahtheboys]

@antipodean Gus Gould is on another level tho. But yes
