<p>A poor decision by SANZAAR.  All of the recent Super finals featuring teams from different countries have had a neutral ref so there is no perception of bias.  Gardner was the obvious choice.</p>

<p>and by sheer coincidence he was in Wellington last week too, surely he hadn't made plans to do something this weekend?</p>

So that must mean he is the best ref in the Comp right?

<p>I see Gardner is one of the ARs</p>

I'm gonna be really fucked off if Jackson doesn't put in a hometown performance. I hope he doesn't read the Fern, realise what he's doing and then over compensate the other way. If he does, I'll have you fuckers to blame it on.

He can start by policing the breakdown. Peyper was blind last weekend

<p>haha, so today there have been 2 votes added to the Canes/Lions tally! </p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>well there are another 2 who have voted overnight too...Nostradamus posts among us!</p>

[Wairau]

<p>I went for Canes/Lions, that was easy haha!</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>...also picking the Canes in the final by a 20 pt margin.</p>

<p>Well now its a Kiwi vs SA game I find I just cant support those hairy in bred saffa's and have to support the Canes :(</p>
<p>I know blame the Highlanders for putting me in this situation  and I am off for a long hot shower to see if I can clean my soul</p>

[canefan]

It's a balmy 8c and clear in Wellington according to my weather app. Means it will drop like a stone by kick-off time. Hopefully the saffas will feel right at home

and clear?<br><br>
Well, I did just momentarily get a glimpse of the Orongas - and there is a blanket of snow.<br><br>
It's cold.
