Bah, you have all talked me in to it and the boy wants to go. End terrace it is, not bad both of us in for $115.
This post has been weirding me out all. Deciding on Tuesday to go to a Bledisloe and just picking up a couple of decently priced tickets
Truly the end of days

@kiwimurph this is symptomatic of inexperienced players and new combinations. But we saw on Saturday when they changed things in that middle part of the game, the pressure went on the Aussies and points came pretty freely. Was very good to watch.

I think it's also part of the problem of having "dual play makers" - the guy playing at 10 constantly gets caught in two minds due to the constant stream of "its on out wide" or similar from the guy playing full back who only sees the acres of space directly in front of him and not the crowded midfield and rushing defenders in front of the guy playing 10. It's also horrible for a guy who's relatively new to the team and has been asked to run the cutter to constantly have that chat from a more experienced player outside him.
In short, ditch the dual play maker system and move Jordie to fullback.

Between Aaron Smith saying it's the tens job to make the calls, this post, and watching DMac charge around like a crab, I think I know where the blame for the crazy'let's go wide whatever' calls in the first half lays

@act-crusader but it is also symptomatic of the halfback. We like his quick delivery but he needs to direct the forwards more. He makes the decision to spin it wide vs organizing the pack.

oh shit, the first time i read that i completely took it at face value in that 12k was a good number for a tuesday before the game

why won't people from Wellington just pop and go to the game FFS?
I drove 4+ hours down the coast just to watch the fucking Warriors and the Chiefs lose. You can drive 6 to watch the ABs retain the Bledisloe
Kiwis and "distance" crack me up. It's a what, 45 minute flight?
-
@mariner4life Air NZ are putting on those flights + ticket deal so no excuse if you really want to go.
I drove to Wellington from Hamilton to watch the All Whites play and then drove back the following day.

depending on which Chiefs era then warriors comment could also still apply

@mariner4life yeah it's odd, completely different mindset in NZ. Sent that tweet to my mates and they were "fuck that".
ÂĢ100 for flights and a ticket to the game! Fuck those fluffybunnies.

they fucking should have if Jazz wasn't such a dumb hopeless prick, and The Hammer didn't score a ripper of a runaway try.
And then DMac happened on the Saturday night... fuck Townsville
Yeah, i went to a shit hole like Townsville, you can go to Auckland.

lol, i cant go anywhere, except to my TV and my beer fridge
..I do hope a few NZ based ferners go to the ABs game though, except any that tend to curse ABs by turning up..
