That first half, no ball, defending like demons. Penalty try. WTF?? Archer is a twat. Second half. Ball, try, ball, try, ball, try. Bliss.

I am in the Sports…

The scalping and trademe get me pretty pissed. The tickets state that you need written permission from the NRL to onsell them and can't…

Full respect to the Warriors for the win, but they'll get my unending respect when they win something, and when they start winning 60% plus of their games, including against top opposition. They're…

Bah. The internet does not like me.

Well, my online ticket buying usually goes VERY badly for some reason (ok, generally my impatience), so this was an exception for me.

Yes, I did get straight in but didn't like the Best available on offer, so waited, eventually got back in (by which time I was beginning to regret not taking the best available) and got where I wanted.

Did anyone manage to buy Warriors tickets online via Ticketek this morning?

Is it really impossible for Ticketek to scale properly for events like this?

Probably not, but I have a suspicion that operation is wholly owned and operated by masochists who really, really like getting the largest possible number of people into the maximum state of blind fury at any given…

I hammered away at the reload button this morning — getting error messages, failed loads and "try again" messages — and eventually got through after an hour, by which time the seats Ticketek said were available weren't really…

And, I am not listening to grumpy Paul, fingers in ears.

And Stephen Donald is from Waiuku, who knew? Not my ladyfriend who was taught history by his Dad.

"Incredibly small world" time again – I was also taught by his Dad, who was a pretty handy fullback for Waiuku in his day, and almost made the Counties team at one…

Have to say I recall Russell's HD and not the other ... and I was sitting 3 feet from your Hadyn :-)

As do I, I just noticed on all the replays that Piri seems to be a bit more... solid than he was before.

I thought that final kick…

Oh, and the ARC in Wellington has got to be the finest way to watch rugby ithout being there – just spot on!

I possibly would've written more however I didn't see the game. Was it replayed on a free to air station at a reasonable hour? I didn't see it on the programme list, which, it's fair to say, is shit.

My web site which I get tv listings from (nzcity had the…

"...maybe now we'll get some fucking respect."

Full respect to the Warriors for the win, but they'll get my unending respect when they win something, and when they start winning 60% plus of their games, including against top opposition. They're as consistent as the Black Caps, and as frustrating to…

I have a high-resolution visual memory of exactly what happened

In HD did Piri look as (ahem) rotund as he did on the big screen at the pub?

Actually on that, at one point in the game when the All Blacks were driving over the ball after a long period…

Well...look at it this way, if I had written more, you wouldn't have had your chance to show how much you thought of their win.

To answer your question: no I am not shitting you.

I possibly would've written more however I didn't see the…

The Men of Gold took the ball down to the All Blacks 22 with some excellent handling and committed charges but the move broke down when it seemed an All Blacks player had clearly charged in at the side of the ruck.

That’s the ARU take on it anyway (the…

but still....

jeez....

i mean ..... come on!

Only 91 words about the Warriors?

A team that has been written off that many times this year that sometimes it seems they'd been redacted.

I rate the Warriors achievement a hell of a lot higher than what the AB's produced on Saturday night! Sure the…

Uh oh, I hope we're not giving the competition any ideas.
