For one of the Chiefs/Manawa double headers they are going to include a concert as well with some kiwi musicians. Obviously hoping to earn some extra coin that day.

Slightly off topic and looking at the lineup, being out of NZ so not fully up to date with the music scene, is Ladi 6 bigger than Holly Smith these days?

Does anyone know if classic is doing another run on the retro jerseys?
you'd think they'd have to, give the poeple what they want

@KiwiMurph Of course, it won’t be perfect at first, but how nice is it going to be to get relatively accurate injury reports, and some easily accessible baseline stats?
Opta had some nice stuff but that was an independent and even that was difficult to use.

And just piggy backing off this, if anyone wants the Ford and Super 12 logos added I can point you to my mate who does them.

Who had the fastest bronco time for the Blues and Highlanders? I'm just curious if anyone other than a halfback is ever the quickest now. I know BB has the fastest time at 4:12 from May 2020, which Roigard equalled last year. It's probably a little easier in cooler conditions than in Dec/Jan.
Blues - ?
Chiefs - Charlie Sinton 4:20
Hurricanes - Jai Tamati 4:23
Crusaders - Kyle Preston 4:13
