Tasman v Wellington (Premiership Final)
-
Looks like there will be a good crowd for this one.
The West Stand (covered seating) is sold out and the East (main) stand has only a handful of midfield seats left between the 22 metre lines - though still plenty between the trylines and 22 metre lines.

Any word on Taufua?

Worst. Thread. Ever.

How about the most important game of last weekend? That was a doozy huh.

My favourite two NPC teams. Between them they have lost 8 of the last 13 NPC finals. It will be weird for one of them to be the winners.

Damn Japanese disappointing everyone

Ta$man looked worryingly lacklustre in that last game so this game could go either way.
-
@Duluth Yeah - need to wait to see who is unavailable for Ta$man.
Blackadder certainly out, I think - dislocated shoulder- and a big loss, because he's at the heart of the forward pack.
Some random on the Ta$man Facebook page says Taufua says he's fine and good to go, but seeing is believing on that one. Covering both Blackadder and Taufua (with Frizell also gone) will be tough - probably Fox-Matamua and Norris, but that reduces the dominance of our loosies.
Who knows with Will Jordan - a knee injury thanks to some dirt from Papali'i - but, he at least tried to run it off on Saturday, so hopefully might be a strain that recovers over the week.
And Quin Strange similarly looked to have a leg injury and wasn't running in the final few minutes.
-
I think the only injury worry for Wellington is Wes Goosen, if fit he Wellington will boast a potent backline - forwards just need to front because it didn't turn out too well last time when they didn't.

For those in Aus - whilst not live on Fox (it clashes with the NRC final) - it looks like it will be live on Kayo.
I won't be bothering with the NRC final - saw a bit of the comp this year and it has definitely waned IMHO.
Go the Mako.

I legitimately didn't even know it was on, there was zero chat about it. Not even a murmur on the Fox Sports news.

@mariner4life We get one game live on one of the Sky Sports Channels most Saturdays and I usually watch the Sydney Rays games there or on https://www.rugby.com.au/competitions/nrc where all games are streamed live as my nephew is in that team. It is a bit of a grind as they are not overly good, especially on defence. The standard is nowhere close the the Mitre10 Championship, particularly in the basic skills area. Still you have to make the effort where family is concerned.
