    Not sure you really want that, our strength is the forwards and field kicking.

    So Patty T and Akira up the guts it is then.

      Yeah you're right, our forwards and kicking game suck. What we really want is a dry track to unleash our rolls Royce backline.

        I see your point, I just think the weather favours us more than you regardless. Even Nock's kicking has been good this year, and bad weather forces us to kick instead of play too much.

        That avoids the variability of the refereeing a bit as well, so you don't try to play too much from your half.

        I really want to watch what the Blues forwards would do to a team if they are forced to play tight. Patrick is destroying people out there at the moment.

          @Kirwan yeah so what you're saying is I should be hoping the match doesn't go ahead as we've got no hope and if it does I definitely shouldn't want the weather to play towards our strengths because you're still stronger? Righto...

            I'm just pointing out your strengths are our strengths too, so wishing for rain is pointless. And we have Dan Carter, have I mentioned that recently?

                        Lineout battle should be fascinating.

                        Both teams have multiple good targets and good lineout throwers.

                          I hope it's a dry track so the Highlanders have a much better chance. Gilbert for the Hatt..hatr...three tries.

                              Those are good odds for the Highlanders - fresh off the bye.
