That was ze Germans, tank recognition still ok

No engines, but pretty cool

Did some time with Waikato, too. Seems like a top guy, I hope he rakes in some well deserved cash in Japan!

He's known as Hometown, so that'll balance out, surely?

Yeah he seems to be stuck in 15 behind Cruden in the 1st XV, so make sense to try somewhere else. And moving to the big smoke is pretty cool when you're that age- even if Palmy to Welly isn't exactly life shatteringly different!

Interesting stuff, Poth, I don't have the patience to get that info but it's nice to have facts to counter-act or support rants!

@pukunui yeah it's hard to know where to point the blame, but changes in personnel on the field and coaching box haven't made a difference for years.

Are you pukunui on ENWorld?

I'm very surprised by the chiefs optimistism, I think it's mostly inherent NZ bias. The jags are on a real roll, and are at home. The chiefs, even after their opposed training run last game, have a bloody long way to go to get to Argentina. I think there will be comfortable wins for all the home teams

@MajorRage Crusaders have never lost a home finals match...this title is thiers to lose.

Indeed. But 9.50 seems quite long odds for a team that has shown no fear on playing in NZ and was second overall, with a sensational run-in.

For sure, Saders are still favourites tho.

Third overall, a couple of points behind Canes

@nzzp Yeah I thought so, looks like there is another half to do, too!

More boom than a full B52 load over Iraq!

What was that?
