    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

    insane right? especially when some of us are in lockdown dreaming of freedom to even go to anything

    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.

    @mariner4life yeah it's odd, completely different mindset in NZ. Sent that tweet to my mates and they were "fuck that".

    £100 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..

    I've noticed you do this a couple of times, it's not really, fuck how do I make the pound symbol?, 100 quid. You can't just convert it to your powerful currency. Not that this has any relevance to the thread, just an observation - I'd fully pay the $190 AUD if I lived in NZ.

    I watch Wanted Down Under, I know $199 is even less relatively than £100, so should I say less than £100?

    I'm expecting some deals later in the week to attract casual fans. May go with a mate who's never been before and take his kids for the classic kiwi experience

    @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 😉

    In fairness to D Mac, it can be and has been just as bad when BB has been at fullback in the dual playmaker system

    @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.

    Fair call that - I think he probably got too used to just being the guy who provides quick services rather than a conductor. He was able to do this for a long time when he was not a senior leader in the team and his job was just to give DC some quick ball and when our backline was generally operating with a lot more space. With this team and all the issues going on both inside and outside him he really needs to ply more like a Fourie du Preez type halfback conducting the orchestra (which he already does very well for the Highlanders)

    Made me think, if I had the option to jump in a car tonight, and drive somewhere to watch an ABs game and have a night out with mates, what's the line on kms I'd be prepared to travel?

    Right now, I think I'd set the line at about 10,000kms.
