@Machpants Haven't seen any news.

Actually, judging from this pic from the Captain's run posted today, I'd say yes.

I want to see a date mark on that photo or else this is just another Blues social media stunt

Looks in pain? Maybe Lam's joke is a groaner

Over 45,000 tickets have already been sold for the season finale of Super Rugby Pacific between the Blues and Crusaders on Saturday night - the first fixture to fill every seat at Eden Park since the opening Bledisloe Cup test last August - but this morning Eden Park Trust chief executive Nick Sautner told Newstalk ZB that the stadium has worked out a unique way to pack a few more fans in. "We've been working with the Blues and we've implemented a standing-room area on the field of play - something unique, given the demand for the event has been unprecedented," Sautner said. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, 20 years since the Blues' last success in 2003 so we're just excited to be able to provide this limited area and opportunity for fans." The chance to watch a premier rugby event from the sidelines, surrounded by over 45,000 screaming rugby fans, can be taken up at midday today via the Ticketmaster website. Along with the sideline-based tickets, Sautner said that there would also be a limited release from the stadium's members and corporate areas.@KiwiMurph said in Final: Blues vs Crusaders:

I have mixed feelings about this game. On the one hand, being a Sader supporter, I want the Saders to win. But, and I feel very dirty for admitting this, I wouldn't mind seeing the Blues get up. Blues have a number of players that I am hoping will help turn the ABs around and if they don't win I will find it a tad disconcerting.

posting drunk already?

This game really feels like a case of good vs evil.
The Blues, the plucky but positive underdogs trying to do something good for NZ rugby and the world as a whole vs the cold, calculating and ruthlessly efficient Crusaders determined to preserve the status quo and crush all dissent. (much like Communist China)

That reminds me of the good old days in front of the embankment at Lancaster Park during the Shield reign. They used to allow people to stand in front of the embankment because it was so full. A

Yes. But I can see the efficiency of the Saders mauls winning the game for them.
We'll still have the best stadium in NZ, but I'd love another title to go with it

WHAT????
The team from New Zealand's largest and richest city, that has plundered the cream of the nation's coaching and playing stocks - playing in their home stadium against a bunch of poor boys from the back blocks - in a competition where 26 teams have consecutively won their home matches.
It will be an undoubted crushing of the Southerners, unless...unless....one man.... can stand for all of us...
What do you mean, Flash Jordan approaching....
