Wellington = Palmy North with a bay

I think everyone decides to make lame digs about Wellingtons weather cos deep down they know that everywhere else in New Zealand sucks complete arse in comparison to the best little capital in the World.

I went to every Canes game in Wellington in Year One of the Hammettuer (might as well have used the money as toilet paper). And I'm 100% not kidding every game was played in a near torrential downpour going sideways. The actual worst thing about it was that on all bar one of those days it was nice and sunny about two hours before kick off.

Surprised you didn’t blame Hammer for the weather...

Saturday night out at Eden Park coming up, and the chance for three in a row for the mighty Blues. Saw a bit of the Canes Stormers at the weekend; they looked pretty good in the first half. Going to take a bit for the Blues to get up.

How the Stormers win:
Smash the Blues physically, kick for corners, maul tries, capitalise on poor Blues kicks, win penalties from set pieces

How the Blues win:
give the ball some air, put it in the hands of Rieko and Melani, forwards go forward enough to give some quality ball to the backs.

Going to be good fun, I'm looking forward to it.

The rush defence of the Stormers was pretty effective too. If their midfield get decent ball they can be a real handful.

Crows = Warriors

Nah. The Warriors have at least won a game.

Not a bad first round.

Geelong coming back to beat the Pies, Brissy with a 70+ point turnaround to win big against Premiers, Bombers and North getting smashed, Bulldogs with an upset win and of course the Saints getting the win in a thriller.

Canes at home, with AB starting 1st 5, Ardie Savea in career best form, plenty of punch in their backline against our SWB, coming off a bad loss against a lowly Australian side, paints a grim picture for the Christchurch based team. Knowing our luck, Hometown Jacko will probably get the whistle....

Has anyone mentioned Ardern....

Enjoyed seeing the Crusaders go down. Was really well played by the Tahs. And their tactics worked perfectly.

How very un-New Zealand of you.

How any New Zealander would delight in seeing an Australian team beat a New Zealand is beyond me.

@Bones what you don’t like hearing how often the Crusaders are offside, pass forward, not on their feet...

I'm pretty sure player x was in front of the kick. I'm pretty sure the crusaders have ruined the turf and should be sued. I'm pretty sure the crusaders are cheating every second of every minute.

Haha right on cue, Kearns blames Whitelock for a Tahs penalty.

Goodhue has barely touched the ball.
