Six hours to go. Let’s hope the tight five are getting ready to fire up, instead of hitting the weights and bakery.
Tonight’s when we get a true sense of whether anything has been held back so far this season, or whether they really are Dad’s Army.
Hell yeah.
I'm pumped up, heading out to the pub before down to the ground with the usual crew. Giong to be awesome - but need to get in front early as rain will come late in the first half. It'll favour fast starters
oh dear
yeah - updated forecast is light showers. So probably not too bad ... once the ball gets wet, it shouldn't be too bad after that. Less thana mm forecast

Can’t remember feeling this uneasy for some time , maybe the string of disappointing performances that is starting to feel like the norm, is starting to take its toll.
But anyway I’m hoping for the best, preparing for the worst ,
Go Allblacks.

I'm planning some loss insurance. Don't usually bet, but not convinced at all that we can lift as much as we may need to.

The other thing that will be interesting, most of the focus here , has been on us , it usually is after a loss,
But can the wallabies back up that good performance with another? We are probably overlooking that a little.

Match report from the ground
Lots of people. Lots of beer so far. Black Ferns winning so far.
Go the mighty all blacks. Can't renege forward coughing this up... If they do, the cup could be a real problem. Want to see a strong contest and an all blacks win
Go the darkness

Started raining here
Has to be an advantage to us you would think
Yeah, we picked a huge pack with a hard tackling 6 well suited to the grind in the wet, plus we have a very tall right winger who is proven to be great under the high ball.

I was talking more about ball handling , usually we handle that part better than the Aussies in the wet

I haven’t seen anything from the All Blacks in the last 12 months to make it look like it’ll be as easy as just going up a gear like they used to after a loss. Especially with one of the passenger props somehow still starting. My main hope is the Aussies overthinking the Eden Park thing.

No idea. Every media pundit is talking about the BLACKLASH - whelp we haven't seen one for ages
Draw vs Boks this year, Defeat to Ireland, Loss to SA last year, lost ot Lions - lots of talk about the ABs coming 'raginag back' after a defeat - but not for a couple of years now

I’m expecting a more physical response, more even possession, and the team that executes best will win

Hmmm... Ball handling is pretty good this year eh.
