Sun beaming down, cloudless skies, not a breath of wind.
Pity the game isn't played in the afternoon then!
Looks to be about 8C at kickoff.
Couldn't agree more. Sounds like ideal conditions for daytime rugby. That's one thing I enjoy about the return games in Argentina, along with the civilised Sunday morning viewing times in NZ.

Not bloody bad, Auckland. I don't know what was more impressive - scoring all those first half tries to get the 19-point lead, or holding Ta$man scoreless for so much of the game.
Great stuff, Auckland. Their kick and chase really opened up Ta$man in the second quarter. Tuipulotu looking good.

Just finished the final episode of Sharp Objects. I thought that they jumped too far ahead between scenes and failed to fill in some gaps in the timeline. Make sure you watch the end credits for the final reveal.
I found Sharp Objects disappointing. I don't mind a bit of slow-burn, languid, gothic stuff, but 8 hours of it - gimme a break. I struggled to stay engaged beyond the soporific middle episodes.
Really enjoying the second series of The Sinner. Two episodes to go, and so far it's at least as good as the first series.
Glad I heeded my dear old grandad's advice never to bet on anything with 2 wheels and 6 legs.

Romano was awesome from the moment he came on. If they take a 4th lock on the EOYT, he should be in the ABs squad again.
Yes and looking further to the RWC it's reassuring that he's in such good nick. Would be great if Tuipulotu comes right as well.
Cheap-shot specialist Kepu dumped. Good.
@wreck-diver Yeah coz the country was sooo much better off under Piggy LOL
Happy to swap Toeava and Piutau. Toeava was indeed an excellent 12, but I couldn't leave out Ngatai, and Kahui was a fine centre. Such a shame Toeava carried a long term hip injury and Kahui kept buggering his shoulders.
Limiting it to players from this century:
15 Piutau
14 Toeava
13 Kahui
12 Ngatai
11 Guildford
10 Evans
9 Leonard
8 Cribb
7 Whitelock
6 Paterson
5 Ryan
4 Robinson
3 Afeaki
2 Willis
1 Goodes
@rancid-schnitzel I'd be happy if ALB and Goodhue turns out to be our long-term midfield.
Tough to limit it to just three. I went for Beauden, Retallick and Taylor. Bender was also awesome, as per usual.
@taniwharugby Cheers
@jc No idea. Surely not more than 100??
Congrats to Owen Franks for playing 100 tests without scoring a single point, a record that's unlikely to ever be beaten.
