Hell, they confirmed the Wales game this morning. This is probably the biggest All Blacks season ever in recent years. We have a lions tour, the tri nations and a grand slam tour.

I have my ticket to the lions vs Wellington tour game. The midweek team will have to hope that Jerry Collins makes the ABs and is smashing the main team and not them...

Nope, they were through my season passes. I won tickets to the manawatu game from the ballot, but for some reason they gave me much more expensive tickets than I put my name in for so I rejected them.

I thought season passes were excluded?
Why turn them down surely you should get them at the price you wanted for your cheap seats?
Manawatu???

Season passes count for tour games but not tests. I turned them down because they had set aside expensive seats and not cheap seats for me. Manawatu is the only other tour game that I could drive to and get back home from easily. Also I have family in Palmy.

This is a question i'm probably going to sound stupid for asking, but how do you guys in NZ rate Mehrtens, i've heard about him but never actually seen him play (due to appaling lack of rugby coverage where I live).

Mehrtens is GOD!!!!
When the NPC final was on last(In Wellington-he plays for Canterbury) year and he got subbed off the game was stopped for at least 2 minutes(In any case more than Cullen got the year before and more than Holwell in his last game!) for all the clapping that was going on!

For all the greatness Carter is claimed to be the reality is he should never be ahead of Mehrts in the Ten Jersey!

Mehrts got shafted by the Lambs!
the tragedy is he dosent want to play for any other Province!
Hes Funny too!
A real Larakin!!!
