[QUOTE="shiznit, post: 57227"] defend aucklands honour?? hahaha!! im sure the great city of auckland can survive without an internet geek looking after it. dont get me wrong, im not chiefs fan im a blues fan through and through. im from the bay of islands and played all my junior footy for northland. i only moved to hamilton for uni. but by far and away auckland is deadset one of the shittiest places on the planet. if you cant see that your kidding yourself. if auckland was so great why is it when work is over everyone aucklander is trying to escape from that shithole? back on the game.... i think woodcock really needs to stand up in this one. if woodcock, melamu and afoa can dominate at scrumtime the blues will definately be in with a good chance. the other important part is in the loose. aucklands loose forwards need to be very aggressive at the breakdown. the only way to combat a champion openside flanker like McCaw is to get stuck into him. with flav back you have the most aggresive flanker on the planet. but the biggest risk of playing a high-tempo game around the ruck is that the players(ESPECIALLY FLAV!!) will need to be very carefull they dont cross the line because if you get down to 14 men against the crusaiders you can kiss the game goodbye. if they can get parity at scrumtime and dominate at the breakdown we should be able give even a useless piece of auckland crap like lavea enough ball to win us the game. im going for the blues by under 12 [/QUOTE]
