But what we do know now is it's basically an elimination final in Adelaide Friday night.

If Auckland win that, they go to a grand final.

If they don't, they start thinking about next season.

Yeah, that bit absolutely, yeah, was the right decision.

And yeah, I was there yesterday.

The atmosphere was unreal, you know, 6,000.

Actually, that's more than the men got most games this season, which I think tells the tale of their season.

I know Auckland have only been around for a couple of years.

But it's, you know, it's the emotion among the fan base yesterday who have been watching this team play for a while and the players.

Are they good enough, Jason?

Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, look, it's a one-off game against Melbourne City, who will be favourites.

They're a good team.

But look, in a grand final, there's any number of precedents of an underdog winning a game.

So look, they'll go with confidence.

Saturday, 6.15pm.

Yeah, I don't think you can take a lot from it if you're the Hurricanes or anybody playing Moana.

You go to the game, you get your five points and you get out of there.

Look, I don't think the Hurricanes will take a lot from the game.

They gave a couple of guys some opportunities.
