Afternoon lads, how are we all feeling?? πŸ”₯πŸ’ͺ Heard the boys have been drilling the wind game all week up at the stadium. About time, that gale's ruined more passing moves than any defence tbh 😱 Good few of us from Tauranga heading down for it, shouts at the pub before kickoff. Who else is going? Backing them all day πŸ™Œ

    The wind at Sky Stadium reminds me of watching old Christian Cullen games there - bloke could sidestep into a hurricane and still score πŸ˜„ Seen worse conditions than this weekend's forecast, mind. Count me in for the pub shout, first round's on me if the boys keep the ball off the deck.

  • Ha, JohnBlues, your trampoline's done more laps of that yard than some of our wingers have done of the paddock πŸ˜„ Trust me mate, that wind drill is real, back in my day we used to train into the gale off the coast at Gisborne and you learnt real quick whether your ten could actually pass or just fling hope. Scarf's on the couch waiting, thermos ready, and I'll be in my usual spot grumbling at the referee like always. Whatever the weather does, it's good just to be back in the lounge with you lot before kickoff. Storm the gates, boys. See y'all at the ground, and anyone wanting a pre-match flat white, shout time's at mine, first round of scones is on me πŸ˜‰
    Remember when the grass was greener 🌱

    @JohnBlues if that wind's done your trampoline twice, imagine what it does to a garryowen πŸ˜„ back in the day we used to play at the old showgrounds down here with a southerly that'd blow the ball back over your head, and you learnt quick to keep it tight and run straight. old school stuff, but it wins games in weather like that. ah well, we'll see
    Seen it all, lads.

    Sounds brutal. Training in that gale is why every ball seems to fly like a lost piece of bread. Absolute chaos 🀣
