Just quickly, and just before you jump in there, John, just with the Super Rugby and whether it's enough for New Zealand Rugby and all the rest of it,
whether it's enough preparation.
The problem I've got, it's two teams, and I think the Blues are the only one that can challenge them.
I think the Chiefs and the Hurricanes and Miles are here to beat anyone.
I think the Blues still potentially can.
But the game that I saw, say, between the Blues and the Highlanders, that doesn't prepare us at all.
This stuff doesn't prepare us, mate.
Blowing Moana Pacifica out, blowing these other teams out doesn't prepare us at all.
Are you writing off the Crusaders?
You need counselling, mate.
Well, look, I think they're two separate things, Martin.
The biggest participation sport in Auckland, without a doubt, is football.
And I did a bit of homework.
Groundball football.
I think 180,000.
I think basketball was up there as well.
I think rugby was fourth.
I didn't see league in the top 10.
So in terms of player numbers and stuff, yes.
