At the big stadium that is Eden Park it is hard to guess, but it looked at the heavier end of 10-15K.

Yeah was great to hear the noise and see the flags but Scotland had this game well under control. I was of course cheering for the white team (Not the navy blue one).

jdogscoop

Scotland a class above this messy Samoan side from this correspondent who was pitchside.

Fair play to Samoa who were bigger, fatter, slower and less coordinated, but they never gave up and were rewarded for their endeavour.

The score was a fair reflection.

What are Anzac biscuits?

Are they as good as Freedom cookies, made with a delicious combo of oats, syrup, nostalgia and butter?

jdogscoop

Some good players in that Northland squad, I assume that's why you chose to shout it from the rooftops.

The decision to play at Eden Park is inspired because I live close by so I am going.

The problem with Mt Smart is that it is too far from my place.

The five Super Rugby clubs have effectively replaced the NPC sides in the cities in which they are based. You still get some NPC excitement from the supporters of the likes of Taranaki, Hawke's Bay, Manawatu and Southland, as they don't see their sides go around in virtually the same colours earlier...

jdogscoop

Exciting side. Looking forward to this one.

A word of advice: don't die.

I think most Kiwis know Nisbo isn’t really up to international standard but he comes as a decent bloke and has been there forever. On an organizational level, I think many of the rugby and broadcast fraternity have rallied around him after he lost his wife so the connections are strong and personal...

Jesus H melt the cvnt down for glue.

Haha I had a chuckle at that too.

jdogscoop

Jesus Christ Canada.

This side used to actually be decent. Pushing the ABs in the 91 RWC decent.

Our lineout has been one of the highlights of the series to date.

It's going great guns.

jdogscoop

I have. I recommend the full length CCC stadium jacket.

jdogscoop

Bummed as I feared.

The AUNZ treated the game as a piss trip and were duly caned.

Not only should the Kiwi players be noted by Razor, he should make a note of banning them from ever becoming All Blacks.

Just popped in to my local Uncle Dan's to buy some drinks for drinking this afternoon and evening (going to fire up the fire pit and so forth before the game) and decided to wear my brand new Wallaby supporter jersey ($45 Best and Less version). As I walked down an aisle, some bloke yelled out "Les...

Weather seems to still be making it's mind up. Bit of Blue sky about, but also a bit of rain. At least the wind has died down. It's looking pretty good now, touch wood..... 19-20 k breeze, which is nothing really, except it will be knots at the Cake Tin and coming from all over the place like a mad...

Private health insurance in Aussie is not a total scam.

jdogscoop

The annual registration fee for a car in Australia is entirely reasonable.

jdogscoop

This AUNZ side will throw it around because they’ve barely had a training session let alone know each others names. Therefore I expect plenty of dropped balls and 20m passes intercepted and the Lions winning 54-17. However, I could be wrong. Yeah would be interesting, there's guys potentially using...

He's a closet Wallabies fan.

Who do AB fans consider the better SH, Smith or Marshall? And how big is the gap? Assuming it’s Smith Very different styles. Marshall was a bigger athlete and a dangerous runner, while Smith was a smaller faster type with a bullet pass. I'd take Smith for that elite service, even if I didn't much r...

This dross makes Jake look like a Pulitzer Prize winner.

Congrats etc etc etc.

There's still a good balance to the back three, I don't think we're losing too much. Narawa is a more than capable player.

Well on the other side of the ledger we have a 7 ... who is really an 8.

jdogscoop

Tough one to call this.

If the AUNZ team have been on the piss all week and have zero fvcks to give, they'll get battered.

If they have chips on their shoulders and are keen to rip into it, they might only lose by 10.

jdogscoop

The local GP comes across as a complete wrong un.

jdogscoop

Good side and exciting to see Timoci in the mix.

I think some posters are just looking for any reason to have a good old moan.

jdogscoop

Nice one Razor.

If that's what you call a 18 point loss then honestly I don't want to hear what you wanted the Wellish, Irish and the Scots to admit to after their 6ns games against you :lol: Italy in the 6Ns: beat Wales by 7 lost to Ireland by 5 lost to Scots by 12 Cut it short, a try after 20 meters maul against...

Top game of code that.

Geez that Fijian try was sensational.

Did we watch the same game?

I presume so. You may be taking my comments a little too literally though. Note the rest of my post.

Oh well we chalked up a win against France.

Not our fault it wasn't their best team.

You can only play what's in front of you.

Job done.

Got tickets to see Lenny Kravitz at Spark Arena here in November. Should be good.

How many Fijians, Samoans English and tongans in the Australian side again? You can't just drop someone called 'the tongan thor' the think we won't notice...
