With Taukei'aho out we will target their lineout. Beehre or McWhannell? Beehre is the better ball carrier.
It's pretty worrying for us, as your scrum is also a weapon.
If we get our set piece right, we still have to worry about your carry and clean. That's before even considering the talent in your 3/4. It's a good Blues team, and I've got a bit of wood for Stern Vern's style.

“This year they’ve shown a really good maul, really good scrum, and that power game with their carry one off the ruck, and forwards and backs joining in,” said Larkham of the Blues. “And they’re one of the strongest teams in all aspects defensively.
“They’re very well drilled. They’re big bodies. They’re going to be hard to beat. When you get these conditions on this surface and those big bodies coming at you, it’s pretty hard to stop them.”

In related news, Papali’i also sent a clear message to his team that they had achieved nothing yet. “We can celebrate just a little bit making it to a final because it takes a lot of heart. But we’ve got one more job to do. We’ve been in this position and we’ve failed. We know what’s on the line.”

This is just sad from geriatric Phil Gifford:
Ask anyone on the streets of Te Awamutu or Morrinsville and they’ll tell you the edge for rugby teams from the Waikato area playing Auckland has always been in the forwards, where the Queen St Yanks can’t match the grit of the rural grafters in red, yellow, and black.
No one in NZ has ever used the term "yanks".
He has dementia.

I'd say catch up for a beer, but am home this week.

Actually have heard the term - but not for many much years. You're likely far too young.
