    It’s running late,,,
    Well the good Ladbrokes House from the UK put the ABs at a 1:2 to win in Sydney, the risk isn’t great here and I would like to take a wager on the Wallabies just for the fun of it, Peyper, Berry and the incomparable Shawn Veldsman (his Englise 😆 )

    yep, dont think the rain will ruin the spectacle, just the inept Saffa adjudicators …

    ABs to win by 12 imho…

    kia ora cuz, kei te pehea koe?

    another lesson like at Athletic park would be choice bro Pleasure rain is very light at the moment, 8 hours till kickoff, but expecting heavier showers this afternoon, so hoping it may stop come game time… tomorrow is forecast for storms so could be very wet tonight.

    wont dampen my spirits, will be there behind the goalposts in the southern stand hopefully when history is made. will grab some shots at the ground with my phone, and get Nortie to repost them here tomorrow night sometime.

    @ Te Rangatira:

    not sure how well Beale will go in the wet at first five, but still think our loose trio and locks will be the difference.

    @ nga puhi:

    Faaaark! Veldsman, with Berry to boot,,,, Shout
    Why do we send these incompetent fools all the way there at great expense just to embarrass us?
    On top of which I am watching at home today with an Hosstraayyljian colleague and rugby fanatic from Cairns, of all people; I will most probably have to hide under the carpet or behind the plasma screen come TMO decision time… Mad

    Defies logic, the damage nevertheless will be inflicted on the Anzac’s this time 🙁
    This is not a hoax; Shawn Veldsman is the TMO today!

    @ Gumboots: You could just be right, they are resurgent…..but early days. I’ll put a beer on the Silver Ferns for this one. But the Bokkies could surprise them this year. I see the naysayers of Heyneke are very quiet these days.

    We need the Ozzies to win their home game here – otherwise it is going to be very difficult for us…
