Stupidly I have gone and scheduled a trip to the grand old US of A that happens to coincide with this game and also the ABs first test of the season. Does anyone know if my Aussie Stan app will work in the States?
VPN and it will work

Yeah Auckland is a desert when it comes to success
Breakers disagree
Oh sweet, so all anyone has to do is blatantly cheat the salary cap to win in Auckland.
Duly notedSounds like pro sports to me

Feels about right. Chiefs owning firm underdog status for this one.
I thought I was going to claim underdog status?
Seriously though, the narrative of one of these sides losing 2 finals in 3 years will be brutal. And not warranted. But the media will go there anyway.
Should be a cracking game
-
@mariner4life Lol they get a lot of support for a side that's won less than 50% of their games.
There's only 1 team in Auckland and they play rugby union.

And north of the bridge. The elitist Blues treat them with disdain as well

@KiwiMurph Relax mate, these days as a Blues fan are a piece of piss compared to the dark days of the 2010s.

Slater is in the same position as Papalii with his HIA.
Daltons HIA test was discussed in the post match press conference. He misunderstood a question and failed the test. Basically the concussion is fine but he failed the IQ test
So he’ll get cleared on Monday

Si he's not concussed he's dumb? Gotcha

If the Blues roll their sleeves up, and we let them, they’ll just roll over us to get their points.
And here’s the thing - I think it might be good for NZ rugby if the team that goes through the middle first is the best team in the competition.
That’s not to say that I don’t want to fuck it up for them, I really do, but we’ll need to do it with a forward effort I’m not sure we are capable of - especially without Sami T.

Fuck the underdog rubbish.
We are at home, mostly fit squad, several players in career best form, sending off a popular player within the team, and have been building since 2021.
After the round robin result, do the Chiefs pull a Will Carling and go out onto the field not expecting to win?
Time for the Blues to deliver.
(That should give plenty of ammunition if we fuck it up, but it nice watching the Blues expecting them to win. All hail Vern. )

I use tunnelbear free version when overseas and my UK sky app. Just back from Crete and worked a treat - tunnelbear say you only get 2gb download on free but it doesn't track your usage at all.
- Open tunnelbear on phone and connect VPN.
- Turn on phone hotspot (make sure WiFi is turned off).
- On tablet/laptop connect to hotspot and open sky app.
You'll want to make sure your tablet/laptop is set to the appropriate timezone (i.e. the one where your app provider is based).
Sounds complicated but it's pretty easy, I've found it doesn't work if you use the VPN on the same device as you're watching. If the connection falls over just close everything and go through the steps again.
