The Warriors v Wests game is in Christchurch (the heart of South Island rugby) and she's ************ cold down there...can't see it being any advantage to the Tigers or the Warriors for that matter as league is not big in the South and whilst the Warriors have lost Seuseu, Meli and Faumuina...the Tigers are without their halves Prince and Marshall (that lessens their attacking options considerably).

Still believe Jones is the key for the Warriors, he is back at half and attacking the line with more confidence...it will be important to gain an early lead in this one.

Reckon the Tigers are mad to pass up the opportunity for a home game...although the Doggies have always fared well in their travels to Wellington.
