This competition is to win a place on the Legends team, not the opposition. You are still probably correct, but I'm not willing to give you points for it just yet ;)

Who's your Dadi?

Big Euge is winging his way in from France.

He's on penalty duty!

Is there a special reason this Legends game is being held? Seems like a bit bizarre especially if it's going to have a few fans and they play a team of sponsors.

because it'll be fun? 

Probably easier to play such a curtain raiser at Hutt rec rather than stadium. Also probably trying to make the most of Hutt rec. 


Allegedly

Good cause then. I was just wondering why now, was it a milestone match, so makes sense.

Will there be a special kit for this match that could be auctioned off with the proceeds going towards the charity?

Great that Dadi is back. Know he only had a short stint with us, but it definitely was a memorable one. That bicycle kick.. (we won't talk about the pen)

Looking over all the old clobber.

Toss up between the old stripey or Pass to Ifill T.

Jnrette can wear Jnr Jnr's season 1/2 kit or her old stripey.  Jnr Jnr has outgrown all his old gear so will have to be a recent YF t.

Old scarves of course.

Shall we bring the vuvuzelas, mini vuvus or kazoos?

The bicycle kick was awesome. That was one of my first live Phoenix game too. Can't remember if it was my first - I moved to Wellington at the end of October 2009 so I'm sure I must have gone to the November/December home games before that one but that goal is my earliest memory of going.
