If the Sharks ended up winning the comp, that'd be the greatest Super win ever I think.

I want the Sharks to win this game so bad

Yeh, the only thing that sucks about the Sharks beating the Reds is not knowing whether the Chiefs would have beaten the Reds.

Not this week, hoping to next week for the Crusaders Sharks final.

On another rugby note the Wife had Gilbert Enoka speaking at a dinner last week and has been telling me some of his great stories from the world cup working with the All Blacks.

The 3 best are:

A certain All Black having to take pictures of all his meals and send them to the nutrionalist as he had a calorie limit on what he ate.

When England won the world cup it was transported from the ground by a guy wearing white gloves etc etc, after the first night of having the trophy the All Blacks knew it held 7 Steiny Pures and wasnt that good of a bottle opener

And my favourite was a photo of "Ted" asleep in a corridor of a newsroom, jersey rolled up as a pillow, glasses askew on his face and his arm wrapped around the world cup trophy.

I so wish I could of gone but it was staff only no partners as there were a heap of other interesting stories too.

Yeah I'm going to the game, be supporting the Chiefs for sure, but I'm not confident they'll get the job done

Did you know?

That despite having never kicked a goal in his career, Manu Vatuvei is currently the third highest points scorer for the New Zealand Warriors. At 348, he is behind goal kickers Ivan Cleary and Stacey Jones who sit on 439 and 674 respectively.

Bold prediction, So if Chiefs and Sharks win it's another game in Hamilton?

So the All Blacks coaches have some interesting decisions to make regarding the midfield with Conrad Smith out for at least the first two matches. How do they go with? Personally I'd be leaning towards Cruden and Carter at first and second with Nonu at centre. Not sure how Ryan Crotty has even become involved in discussions, I assume it's just because he plays for the Crusaders.

Pretty much.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Tamati Ellison/Robbie Fruean combo.

Tamati still injured no? I heard he is also out of first few games.

Would love to see Fruean, but it's all about consistency.
