Helllooooooooooo!

There is a delay to kick-off for this game… electricity or something was off at Forsyth Barr Stadium, so the game will start a bit later than scheduled!

Wallabies out on the field.

Of course the weather will have no bearing on the game, because the roof is closed over the stadium.
