Waikato v Otago - Championship Final

Hooroo

I think Waikato are playing Otago on Friday night.

Expect at least 70 people there!

Lost shield and don't really care too much what division we end up next year as we still will play teams from both "comps"

They'll play less first division teams. Surely those are the more interesting matches?

You don't care if your team has a chance to win the first division next year? Is that just because you don't think they'd have a chance in that competition?

No, it's because I don't really care about the comp and haven't for quite some time.

I do still like the shield and try and make sure I at least watch them on the telly.

I doubt I watch it on Friday night unless I have absolutely nothing to do.

I think I would be much more interested if the comps were separate and you actually needed to win it to play top flight teams.

Hooroo

Just seen it is $10 entry which if you're even slightly interested is a very reasonable price to go along

The last final Waikato hosted was in 2011 so there is no excuse if you are a Mooloo fan.

It will be interesting how many will attend. I wonder what the WRU see as a decent turnout? 10,000?

Duluth

@hooroo 5000?

Bovidae

I'd split the difference.

The biggest crowd this year would have been the Hawke's Bay RS defence, ~5000.

Number 10

Referee is Ben O'Keeffe.

Bovidae

I'll take him. Pickerill is all over the place so happy not to have him with the whistle.

Yeah prolly? I really have no idea. Haven't seen any real promotion for it outside of facebook but in saying that, I wouldn't expect to in the likes of Matamata etc

Gibbes has gone for more mobility at lock with McWhannell and will bring on the experienced Bond in the 2nd half. The same for Smith on the bench.

Reece to continue his try-scoring feats.

I thought he did that in the streets?

Bovidae

@nepia In a pub I believe.

A bit like John Timu. I happened to be in Freemans that night.

I don't know the Timu story. Dunedin?
