I always liked Hika Elliot and thought that he was another one who was treated rottenly by the All Blacks. Anyway, welcome to the Lions!
On par with AdM and both got about the same opportunity given who were ahead of them.

A grey day here today but no rain yet. It’s meant to hit around the afternoon so here’s hoping it comes in after the final whistle.

@Canes4life who do you think will adapt better to the conditions if the bad weather rolls in ?

I think Sangster is a huge loss for BOP, but they still have a tough pack. Both starting sides look very good but I think overall Wellington might have the edge in these wet conditions. The loose forward trio of Delany, Kirifi and Shields will be key IMO.
In saying that Wellington’s bench looks pretty weak because of all the injuries in the forwards so if Wellington sustain injuries early then it could be adv BOP. Intriguing match for sure.

Wellington loosies v BOP three quarters. Either could dominate the match. I think it will all come down to penalties conceded. If BOP can stop conceding avoidable penalties they should win. But it is a bit of a habit.
Bop bench is fizzing currently. Kolose Cashmore Fineanganofo Bartlett Paea are all adding sparks. -
Great timing, just started pissing here. 😑

F U Stan. Just changed the time of the stream pushing it back by 30 mins.

Ffs they’ve got the two most annoying commentators for the final.

I'm in now. It originally said 1230h then said the stream was unavailable and the time moved to 1300h.

I never bother turning a stream on until a few minutes before kick off.

Savea in early. Good start by Welly.

Is there a strong wind as Trask and Forbes aren't getting much distance with their kicks, giving Wellington territory.
