I'm positive things will go wrong.

Does this work through the sky go app? If so I'll probably skip it due to the very average resolution. Or has it improved recently?

No Toivenen for Victory. I really rate our chances of a win now. 

Just got to shut down Kosta (He wrecked havoc last time we played them) and keep Honda quiet (Who will prob only get half a game as still on comeback from injury??).

Victory also without Antonis and Valerie, so we should be able to dominate midfield for periods.

FanPass is different - has a different app. I've been using it for the last few months and the quality is considerably better than Sky Go. In full quality it's hard to tell that it's streaming

Public transport regular fares apply. If you're travelling from the CBD it's $3.50 cash/$1.95 Hop card fare to Kingsland Station, close to Eden Park.

Trains at Britomart will be busy so it might be easier to get a bus if that's closer. 
The 22 and 24 buses travel from Victoria St to Kingsland Station.
The 20 buses travel from Wynyard Quarter via Ponsonby Rd to Kingsland Station.
If transferring in the CBD from somewhere else with a Hop card it's free as Kingsland Station is in the City zone.
For Morningside to get to the tavern it's a little bit further on the train, 22 or 20 bus - So would be a $5.50 cash/$3.45 Hop card fare.

Thomas

Roux - Deng - Niedermier - Brown
Brox - Baena
Kosta - Troisi - Elvis
Honda

Likely team for the Vuc. We need to target Brown, the clear weak link. I also think with Rufer and Mandi we have the potential to dominate midfield.

Biggest threats will be the same as last time - Kosta getting space in between full back and CB. The difference now is that they also have Elvis, so we have to worry about both sides.

After all the speculation, I'm glad Mandi's made a quick return to the squad following the birth of his child. Hope he can welcome him into the world with a win

Muscats certainly got some decisions to make.

Thought Neidermier looked pretty rusty last week after his layoff. They also have Donachie back as an option in defence.

I'm picking that Honda won't start but will be eased back in at half time as Muscat is talking up the ACL campaign and I'm sure he wants Honda for that. (Hope so anyway). Athiu may get another start up front as he is there only real centre forward.

Not a very settled team formation for them of late. That could certainly play into our favour. Especially in midfield like you said.

Best bar to watch it at in Wellington? I'm keen to get a table with seats but I imagine 4 Kings likely to be pretty full?

Agree, all attack should go over Brown. Deng was to good for our players the last time, frickin Deng!!

With all the furore over Rudan, maybe time for some banter chants:

Can't make it to the game tomorrow.

I hope you don't have any random grumpy people who refuse to stand up or chant in the zone.

But, if you do, I look forward to reading the whinges on hear afterwards ... :-)

Dome was just on Radio Sport.

Take Aways - 18k already sold, but more importantly he is very confident in Rudan staying, insinuating that some big developments are not too far away from being announced which will allow Rudan to really bed in and sink his teeth into the club.

I'm picking a contract extension for him.

Hey guys up from Christchurch for the night, just wondering if it's worth trying to score a fever zone ticket or just grab a random one and go to fever zone anyway?
