I'll be flying in to Auckland early afternoon and going straight to my mate Ian's Japanese restaurant, Taiko, at the Kingsland Railway station for beers and great food before the game. After the game, hooo hah, get in. I'm as mean as custard after the game.
Note: I am not meaning to poo-poo the 12 pubs in Auckland. I am just saying I don't get to go up and see Ian and dine at Taiko much, and I miss it, so I will definitely be doing that instead pre-game.
