All Blacks lock Patrick Tuipulotu has been dropped from the Blues bench for tonight's match against the British and Irish Lions at Eden Park.
A statement from the Blues says Tuipulotu has been replaced by Jimmy Tupou after a breach of team protocol.
The All Blacks lock was late to team training without notification.
What a dick
Reading between the lines (or should that be lions...), he threw a strop for missing out on the starting line-up...maybe I'm being harsh, but he's put the nail into his own AB squad chances there - not that I think he was in the running, I can't see any reason to go past Retallick + the 3 Crusaders locks.

True, I forgot about that. I'd think Tom Franklin might be next cap off the rank. Bird has been anonymous in the last couple of games. Losing Retallick really would be a major blow.

I miss Mils

super pumped for this now. Prediction Blues by 13 and my tab winnings to finance tomorrows hangover.
For those scoping out Melbourne pubs for Lions I'm reconing CelticClub, a couple of projector screens, good pubgrub, $12 pints, smallish crowd sounds mostly kiwi

Lions look committed

How was that play on? Biggar knocked it a mile forward.
Couple of great steals from SBW so far, hopefully going beast mode in preparation for the ABs.
