You whinging Auckland feckers.
Traf. Park is usually excellent. It's been pissing with non-stop rain for the past two days.
Even with a little bit of surface water lying on it the ground has not turned to a mud heap in spite of a curtain raiser having been played on it so the ground cannot be that bad. Would they play a curtainraiser at Eden Park if the same amount of rain had fallen in Auckland as Chris B insists Nelson has had?

As well as being a piss poor commentator is anyone else annoyed as me with nearly all the commentators spouting useless statistics and comments. Has no one told them that viewers can see and that for them less is better.a -

Jordan is the best player on the field - possible end of year smokey?
Not sure about him being the best player on the field, but definitely the best back. Several forwards have also had great shifts, like Frizell, Taufua and Blackadder.
Don't see Jordan in the AB frame yet; way too early (like Bridge).

Auckland looked really good in patches but some brilliance by Ta$man particularly some slick passing punished them at every turn.

Really good effort by Ta$man.
Auckland - apparently used to practicing on their miraculous insta-drain soils - unable to deal with it being a little heavy underfoot.
Jordan is fucking good. With a long queue of fullbacks, I don't really see them using the apprentice slot for him, but he's surely the rookie of the year?
And a provincial note - for 10 minutes this morning there were three Mako$ on the field together for the All Blacks. If I'd even thought of that happening five years ago I would have assumed I was drunk!
