Xtra Super 12 Final Sold Out
Auckland Rugby

Tickets to the Blues versus Crusaders 2003 Xtra Super 12 final have sold out.

Tickets to the game went on sale at 9am on Tuesday and by 10.40am they had completely sold out.

"We expected tickets to the final to sell very quickly when they went on sale this morning, but this has been absolutely incredible," said Blues CEO David White.

"We are now looking forward to a huge night of Super 12 rugby entertainment at Eden Park on Saturday," he said.

Just heard on the radio that Devine and Collins are out.

The weather North of Yuckland is beaut today, but meant to turn to crap again.

If it's wet, that'll suit the Crusaders.

Devine out and Gibson in isn't such a bad thing imo. Old Carlos seemed to hold some pretty crappy passes from Devine so he should be okay with a different halfback.
I think Collins out is more damaging.
Brad Thorn is starting for an injured Maxwell. Thorn has been playing well lately, and if the conditions are slippery, he's going to be having a blinder.

Starting to think the Crusaders may just do it, hope so

Well...... I dont mean to brag, but I did win money on the Lions last year, and I did win money on the Roosters last year, and I did put money on the Crusaders for this year.

And having just checked tonights scores I did turn $20 into $130 with the Raiders and the Broncos getting up....

Crusaders for me!!!!!

Sorry Hazy, ya dipped out on that one..

T'was a good game. I thought / hoped the Crusaders might just do it when it started raining but it was not to be.

Carlos played very well, but his best play imo, was when he dropped the ball just before halftime and Hammet scored his 2nd try :lol:

How anybody can go for both the Warriors and the crusaders is beyond me. They are polar opposites. The Crusadors are a team of robotic white boys with as much flair as Jim Anderton. :shock: However the Blues and the Warriors are very similar, surely you must be tempted to switch your S12 allegiance on that fact alone. BTW what did you think of the AB's team? I think it will be the best team since 97.

lol.. the main reason I go for the Cantabs is cos my ma-in-law hates them and follows the Blues

The AB's have the potential to beat anyone anywhere, it's whether Mitch gets them to gel together, that's the key. A lot of individual talent means shit, if you can't play in a team.

bugger....

its taken me a whole week to come to terms with this...
