    @tim said in Super Rugby News:

    With less than one month until the start of Super Rugby 2018, one thing is for sure - this is going to be the most exciting and effective sports marketing campaign ever. I am so hyped by what hasn't been aired yet.

    Combined with the legendary competence of SANZA, the four mid-season AB training camps, and great franchise systems in Sydney and Auckland, the future of TV revenue for this competition has never been brighter.

    I'll be glued to every game. @bones will vouch for that....

    @tim not that i've seen. They did a bit for the sevens. But i've seen no Super rugby promo. Maybe they are trying to forget it exists until they can see if there is an Aussie team with a bit of hope?

    Two weeks ago today they were filming the NZ Super Rugby advert so it shouldn't be too far away from launching.

    Can't wait for Umaga to select some kind of b-team for the opening game and lose to a team he should put 20 on.

    So Jimmy Tupou in the 6 jersey ahead of Akira Ioane again?

    Crusaders squad to take on the Hurricanes in their first pre-season game in Greymouth on Friday:

    15 George Bridge, 14 Manasa Mataele, 13 Braydon Ennor, 12 Tim Bateman (captain), 11 Jone Macilai, 10 Mike Delany, 9 Bryn Hall,
    8 Pete Samu, 7 Billy Harmon, 6 Ethan Blackadder, 5 Quinten Strange, 4 Hamish Dalzell, 3 Mike Alaalatoa, 2 Ben Funnell, 1 Ezekiel Lindenmuth.

    Reserves: Harrison Allan, Andrew Makalio, Reuben O'Neill, Ben Morris, Will Tucker, Heiden Bedwell-Curtis, Tom Christie, Jordan Manihera, Jack Stratton, Brett Cameron, Tima Faingaanuku, Nathan Vella, Dylan Nel, Richard Judd, Dallas McLeod, Tomas Aoake.

    Bryn Hall probably the only player who would make the Crusaders best XV.

    Liam Mitchell - Is this the guy that plays up in the Manawatu? Interesting to see a number of Mitre10 Cup players involved as well as a couple of BoP players on the 17 man bench. The wage bill, and other associated expenses, for this time of year must be astronomical.

    @bones When you see a starting line-up that features Murphy Taramai, Jimmy Tupou, Glenn Preston, Matt Moulds, and Josh Goodhue, I'm sure you'll be shaking in your boots.

    @bones No, he's the new coach. That's heart disease sufferer Matt Johnson at 13.

    Tony Johnson will be centre alright...front and centre of the anti-Blues bandwagon...

    I look forward to a Blues bench stacked with All Blacks that enter the fray in the second half once the game is already lost....

    Highlanders squad for Brizzy 10s.

    The full squad for Brisbane Global Rugby Tens:

    Forwards: Aki Sieuli, Greg Pleasants-Tate, Tyrel Lomax, Alex Ainley, Paripari Parkinson, Elliot Dixon, Dan Pryor, Shannon Frizell, Luke Whitelock, Dillon Hunt, Marino Mikaele Tu’u, Kalolo Tuiloma, Guy Millar, Ash Dixon, Josh Dickson

    Backs: Kayne Hammington, Josh Renton, Josh Ioane, Fletcher Smith , Tevita Nabura,Teihorangi Walden, Ryan Tongia, Josh McKay, Richard Buckman, Terrance Hepetema, Pita Alatini.

    I think it lacks a bit of pace, although the size in the squad looks like it could play a fairly dynamic style in close.
