      really happy with our forward pack, think we can at least go toe to toe if not win...only issue will be the new rules and if they will hinder us and then we'll either

      1. try and go wide and get a bit caught out
      2. try a kicking game and that blues back three will punish us

        The Highlanders have won 5 of the last 6 matches between the sides. Including 2 of the last 3 at Eden Park

        Clearly they should be favourites. I think the underdogs have a reasonable chance though

                Rubbish. You're using feelings. I'm using logic. The undefeated Highlanders are favourites

                  Not to mention the blues will get penalised off the park in the first half and Josh is yet to miss a kick in SRA.

                    it feels like your trolling but i'll bite a little...undefeated in one game, compared to two games for the blues

                    we just scraped past the chiefs...at home...when the blues beat them comfortably

                    its at home for the blues

                    TAB have blues as favs

                    and before covid the blues we riding high on the table and we were struggling with largely the same squads...except we had ioane then

                    facts = blues favs to win

                      I’ve been to almost every Blues home game since I returned to NZ in 2013. Think of all the shitty performances I sat through during the Kirwan/Umaga years.. then there were the cruel games where the Blues outplayed the opposition but still manage to lose in the last 5mins

                      It’s going to be a long time before I watch a game confident of a win.

                      This year has been fun so far

                      Blues favourites, but the Highlanders are a lot more dangerous than most people think

                        @Bones im not sure i'd even say sio is he was a great winger but walden is better in the midfield definitely

                        Koroi is actually a really good 10, very attacking/creative....yeah...nervous

                        What's the oil on Walden missing out altogether. Couldn't see him on the injured list. Any idea?

                          He was injured to start the super season and then they stuck with the (doomed from the start) failed experiment of Ioane at 12 and Misery Hunt at 10. It's starting to smell like something else now with the ridiculous selections going on seemingly just to ensure our 2nd best back last year doesn't even make the bench.

                                    "Periods of rain, heavy at times with thundery falls possible until evening. Rain easing to showers at night with northeasterlies changing westerly"

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

                                      I’ve been to almost every Blues home game since I returned to NZ in 2013. Think of all the shitty performances I sat through during the Kirwan/Umaga years.. then there were the cruel games where the Blues outplayed the opposition but still manage to lose in the last 5mins

                                      It’s going to be a long time before I watch a game confident of a win.

                                      This year has been fun so far

                                      Blues favourites, but the Highlanders are a lot more dangerous than most people think
