'No other venue capable': How a 'cherished' cricket oval nabbed a Super Rugby match

Oval game shows need for rectangular stadium, says one of the region's biggest rugby fans.

[ARHS]

They should put a grandstand and lights up at Blake Park and solve the problem sensibly. The Tauranga Domain is a very poor venue

I wonder if that will follow in the next few years, especially with the field realignment and the Play Centre moving, etc.

An update on Sititi.

[Yeetyaah]

@Bovidae well, fuck

[gt12]

That’s fucking bullshit.

Let an injured guy wait two months for surgery so they miss the premier local competition.

I don't know all the details but did they "let him wait"? Was it not more trying to find the right way forward and it taking time?

@Bones

Given the status of rugby journalism in NZ, we won’t find out.

I suppose All Blacks XV member Simon Parker will start at 8 or 7 alongside Jacobson and Finau now?

[Duluth]

@darylmitchell

Maybe Jahrome Brown at 7. McMillan seems to rate him

[SBW1]

MM the Fijian winger who played for the Saders and Force is in the Chiefs WTS.

Been given some oil, not sure how reliable it is. Quinn Tupaea out for 6 weeks with an ankle injury.

[Dan54]

@Yeetyaah bummer for Chiefs and Tupaea

At least it is a position that the Chiefs have some depth in, provided the others are all fit.

[Bovidae]

Has anyone signed up for Chiefs Pass? I assume there is a cost when they want CC details.

The game against the Hurricanes will be streamed on that platform so I was wondering if it was worth it.

[Yeetyaah]

@Bovidae a good mate of mine did and gave me his login but I haven't used it. It went a while without any updates, around a month or so and he reckons the stuff isn't groundbreaking.

[Bovidae]

So the ABs are finally back training but won't be involved on Saturday.

Although it's only the first pre-season game I'll be interested to see what team McMillan selects, particularly the loose forward trio and who starts at 1st 5 (Jacomb or Trask). Maybe the local boy gets first crack.

Is that the only way to see the game or are they doing a live stream on Youtube?

[Bovidae]

@Canes4life I've no idea. The game doesn't look to be on Sky at this stage.

[frugby]

Weren’t games on NZR+ last year?
