C'mon Waikato.

These arrogant Auckland bastards are already talking about another dynasty, (a single upset semi-final win and they are God's gift to Rugby) roll them on Saturday and end this 'For New Zealand rugby to be strong, Auckland rugby must be strong' bull**** once and for all.

Nuff Said.
 
I nearly saw Auckland play once against Harlequins but it was sold out but Inga Tuigemala(was playing for Wasps at the time) did walk past us giving my mate a little nudge as he went past-I told him that he should have done the ****.
One of those rare people that are wider than they are tall.

Anyway I suppose I better get behind Waikato to stand firm with my Allies cricket team mate plus i hate to see the big boys thinking that it's owed to them on a plate(except when it's Arsenal of course)

Thank God for Fox........especially here in Melb......:(

Can't wait for the game...as I have really started to get into this series (for the first time, being my 1st year with Fox) aand have asked Player to fill me in on the comps. in NZ......I even brought the NZ Rugby News today.:p
 
Fantastic win by Auckland and again, as in the Currie Cup, great atmosphere and support at the ground.......GOTTA LUV THOSE COWBELLS;) .......that just made my afternnon.

And what a captain Xavier was..such a fantastic sportsman when making his speech....he really felt for the Waikato boys and encouraged them along for next year.....fantastic stuff.

Hope Fox can repeat the game again so we can have a 2nd squizz.

Can anyone tell me the crowd nos. for the 2 finals....SA and NZ?

Thanks.

Bloody lineouts, we could have used our injured Fly Half who destroyed Auckland in the regular season also.

That was the best chance Mooloo will have for several years of winning the NPC.

Xavier Rush knows Waikato rugby has been neglected by the NZRFU, three All Black starting quality players are leaving next year for the overseas money.

In a first I have ever heard of Waikato has decided to take the NZRFU to Court over some of its decisions.

Anyway Waikato Stadium has a capacity of approximately 25,000, so at a guess I'd say the NZ final had a crowd of 25,000.

Oh well I guess it makes 92 all the more special. :)

On the cowbells they reckon up to one in five supporters take a "cow"bell to any Waikato game, Mooloo kids supporters club get a free cowbell (500+), you can buy them at the game, but must people seem to be alot more enterprising than that.

You can not employ just any old bell, no Waikato fan would be seen with a bell unpainted in red, yellow and black.

They have been used by Waikato fans since at least the 1950s, and these days their use is spreading to other sports in support of Waikato teams (especially netball).

I must admit I do have a cowbell.
 
Ms Storm, both stadiums were at capacity.

Don't know the exact one for the NPC game, but for the CC final the SA commentator said 59,555.

Both teams that I was baracking for lost :(

Still both were good finals.

Its hard not to love those cowbells aint it? The noise generated sounds so cool.

True Story:

Auckland have managed to lose the NPC Trophy. :D

I honestly hope who ever appropriated it doesn't reveal its whereabouts until after Auckland lose it again.

Maybe they should get pickles out of retirement.
