According to a post on his instagram account, Toomaga-Allen has torn his hamstring during training (today?). How long does it take to recover from a hammy?
Out for three months plus, according to Scotty Stevenson.

@tim Jordan Hyland has been training with the squad hasn't he? While he plays wing for us, he is more a mid-fielder.

@taniwharugby Was he training with the Blues? In October, he was named in the All Blacks 7s Development team, or was that just for one tournament (San Jose Sevens)?

The team is making the most of having second five-eighth Lima Sopoaga for a final season after his announcement he will be leaving to join the England Wasps, but Mauger says there's plenty of strength in the new players.
Oh Bethany.

New Zealand: 7With the Super Rugby tournament format reducing to 120 regular season matches this season the referee team has been reduced from 19 to 17 referees. The team contains a balance of seasoned international referees, several referees who now have a couple of years of Super Rugby behind them and one newcomer, with AJ Jacobs from South Africa making his Super Rugby debut this season. “Along with a new Super Rugby format we will have a refocussed referee team that has been through an extensive training camp over the summer in preparation for the 2018 season”, said SANZAAR CEO Andy Marinos.“The team is a well balanced mix of referees with Test and Super Rugby experience and several emerging referees who now have one or two seasons under their belt. The experience in the team comes from Jaco Peyper and Glen Jackson, who have refereed 82 and 65 matches respectively, while we also have a group around the 40-50 mark including Angus Gardner, Nick Briant and Mike Fraser,” said SANZAAR Game Manager, Lyndon Bray. “At the conclusion of the 2017 season SANZAAR conducted a survey of the Super Rugby team coaches and the feedback helped determine the focus for our annual referee camp which is always held prior to the start of each season.”http://www.superrugby.co.nz/News/31968/super-rugby-referee-team-announced
