Gamss been ****ed for a lomg time now...I think back to how invested I was in the wallabies as a kid and then throgh my uni years...now I give very little care, I of course want them to do well, but think id nearly not be bothered to go to Twickenham for a wallabies game right now.

Sam Cane has been announced as the new All Black captain (whenever . It is amazing that he, Kane Williamson, and Peter Burling (Olympic gold medallist and America's winning helmsman) - the 3 highest profile male sporting leaders in NZ were all at the same school

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Tauranga Boys HS and only a year or so apart (KW born 1990, Burling 91, Cane 92).

Dan Carter (@ 38) is injury cover for the (Auckland) Blues. Would be interesting to see him play.

Hadn't they just signed Barrett, B too?

 

[hendrix]

if they're still **** with beauden barrett and dan carter something is very, very wrong

There were some really good signs from the Blues, even without Barrett, when the competition started earlier in the year. Now we're all back at zero points and we'll have to see what happens.

That's a shame. Hope Kayo can get it.
Crowds of 34K and 20K predicted for Auckland and Dunedin respectively.

the blues sold what little soul they had left to poach beaudy and now they have carter. deadset hope they lose every game. will be almost as hateable as the crusaders if they start winning.

 

[_Ed_]

Really looking forward to the comp getting underway this weekend - the most excited I've been about Super Rugby in probably a decade. Apparently Eden Park's sold out for tomorrow's game.

 

[Chewie]

I'm heading along to the game

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Enjoy!

****, how good is this for a first game back?!

Owning your dad in front of 20,000 people.

Owning your dad in front of 20,000 people.

That pretty much sums it up.

But multiple lead changes in the last five minutes, finishing with a margin of one point - doesn't get much better from a neutral POV.

That neutral POV goes out the window for today's game, however.

 

[_Ed_]

I know there was some reaction to the Blues putting Barrett at 15, but jeez Black had a great game at 10.

 

[Flem274*]

****in hurricanes

****in blues and their wallets. beaudy had some **** moments too. blues ruining him already.

 

[Chewie]

Was pretty cool to be able to go onto the field after the game
