Waikato v Tasman (Premiership Final)
-
Throwing my support behind the home team. Apologies in advance to Mooloo supporters.

As long as people are socially distanced there might not be a crowd limit as it is an outdoor event.

@hooroo said in Waikato v Ta$man (Premiership Final):
Yeah Joy!
We are coming over in a mini van and will set fire to any Ta$man flags we see! Be warned
It's an xmas miracle - you're getting off your lazy arse to get to a game!
you'd better set fire to a few flags for me... still working on a truck to stow away in

i was trying to think - surely it had to be a final.. one of the most epic / hilarious pre-matches I've seen at Rugby Park
when they got a bunch of drag cars to burn up and down the sideline before the game. Sparked the crowd up no end.. still to this day no idea how there wasn't a massive crash if one skidded on the grass!
Back when rugby was 'proper' fun to go to

I vaguely remember cars parading around the ground at a game too. Maybe the 1992 final as it was an afternoon kickoff?
-
As a neutral, I must say it's a real feat for Ta$man to reach the final for the third time in three years, with the likes of Jordan, Havili, Christie, Blackadder, Frizell and Lomax being unavailable for them. Incredible depth (and money ?) for a province which biggest town is Nelson. Great for Waikato too, with a team of nobodies.

@cgrant And Reece.
Also, in the injury/defections ward Coxon, Moli, Parkinson, Sione Havili, Fox-Matamua, Paea, Talea and Marshall.
Segner will surely be missing for the final - no idea who they will replace him with. Actually, they'll probably swap Norris to the openside, but I'm struggling to think who goes onto the bench.
-
@dice Made of tough stuff those Germans! Pretty surprised to see him there.
Ware back to play on the wing.
Otherwise pretty much as expected. I had vague hopes of seeing PariPari in the line-up, but not expectations.
Only real surprise is seeing Tim O'Malley missing from the bench. I guess Knewstubb is covering first five. Don't get injured this year, Mitch!
