    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

    Oh god, yes. They have been super long years, except it's been since 2007 for me. All of the Shawshank, so little redemption

                        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?

                                @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...

                                Don't get your panties in a bunch.

                                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.
