<p>Just watched the last minutes of the 2000 final. With a better ref the Lions would have had half their team in the bin!</p>

<p>Nonsense, it was heroic defense :)</p> -
<p>One ominous portent is that - up until last year when the Crusaders didn't make the play-offs - every year of Toddy's lengthy reign, his team was knocked out, playing away from home, by the eventual champions.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Last year he did his best to keep the record by thumping the Canes but losing to the Landers in the round robin.</p> -

<p>I hope the Lions slept well after that flurry of calls I made to their rooms at 3pm this morning... ;)</p>

<p>On the NSW TAB the Hurricanes are 3:1 on and the Lions 20:1.</p>

<p>Not as bad as it could be here in Hataitai with the temperature feeling like it must be close to eight or nine degrees and the showers (laced with small doses of hail on occasions) coming and lasting little more than about five minutes before departing and another arriving about ten minutes later. The wind chill factor, however, might prove to be a real challenge with a ambitious sou-easterly doing it's best!</p>

<p>A more appealing prospect is joining in with the Marist St Pats supporters after their Jubilee Cup Final defeat by Tawa if their clubrooms is open!</p> -
<p>Last test I ever went to at Athletic Park was All Blacks vs Lions in 1993.</p>

<p>Wind chill factor now bringing the temperature to a current rating @ 6.29pm of zero degrees, getting more perfect by the minute!</p>

<p>Idle curiosity sent me to weatherzone.com.au where I discovered your temperature range today was 5° to 8° and it is now on 6°. I had to tap the screen to check it hadn't gone into slumber mode.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>6° is a quite silly temperature.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If it drops below 20° here on the Gold Coast people start ringing their State Member to complain, refuse to pay their local council rates and leave the streets to these migrant types from the east who all talk the same way as you say "Mrry Mxtd".</p>
