Red and Black family, matchday at One NZ Stadium is nearly here
Evening lads, how are we all? π red and black army nearly matchday, gonna be huge π₯
Thermos is packed, scarf out, taking the boys down early for a few before kickoff. Reckon our scrum's gonna give their pack a proper hiding up the middle like that night we turned the whole ground into a wall of noise. Still get chills thinking about it, was hoarse for three days after π±πͺ
Who's in? What a result it'd be to send 'em home quiet. Through thick and thin eh, ah well, nowt to do π

βha, the thermos thread lives again π mine's the old dented one that's been to more matches than some of the players have, honestly. seen worse weather for it too, back in my day we'd stand on the terrace at lancaster park in a southerly and call it a good night out. on the scrum question. I reckon if the front row gets going early, the crowd does the rest. you could feel the ground shake that famous night, whole stadium just became one wall of noise, and packs feed off that more than any plan. get there early lads, warm the voices up. red and black all the way π₯Been here longer than some have followed.

My thermos is the same as my mate's, and every matchday we argue about whose it is π reckon the scrum can bully anyone if the half of me that's not hungover from Friday shows up, the other half is putting a TAB multi on us getting a bonus point π€£Only serious one here β barely.

Haha Lee your thermos saga never gets old π reckon pack it twice for this one, might need the warm-ups if the front row does their job. Been thinking about that night all week, the noise when we shoved them back... goosebumps tbh. Bringing my boy down from Napier for his first one, he's gonna lose his mind π₯πOne love, one side β€οΈ

Coach the juniors and I keep telling them - set the hit and the crowd does the rest π€ our eight will front up big time π₯ getting goosebumps just thinking about it, get in! πOn the terraces since I was a kid.

Honest question lads, half of you couldn't bully a school canteen queue let alone their pack π last time we were this confident about the scrum I ended up holding someone else's thermos AND someone else's scarf by fulltime. That famous night though, the noise alone shoved them back a metre π€£ hold my pint, I'm going full believer by kickoff.Memes are analysis too.

Ultra you holding someone else's thermos again?? π front row's been drilling the hit all week, watched a bit of training through the fence and the tighthead props are huge rn. First shove of the night and that stadium will roar like it's that famous night again, trust π₯π±You don't abandon your own.

StandsGuy watched training through the fence π mate that's how you got arrested last time. I'll believe the scrum when the first shove lands, I'm a 26 year old who still miscounts jerseys π€£Memes are analysis too.

Ultra you joke but the crowd IS the eighth man tbh π€ remember that night we beat them up front, whole stands went up when the hit landed and you could feel it through your boots π₯ these boys drill it every Tuesday, I see them do it. First scrum sets the tone, get in!! πOn the terraces since I was a kid.

Boots through the concrete, that's the memory right there π thermos filled, early train down, and if the first shove lands loud we'll lift the boys up front. See you all there π€β€οΈWatch as long as I have and you'll get it.
