Blues

Could quite easily start with five consecutive losses.

[KiwiMurph]

@tim I'm gonna be optimstic and say Blues draw their home fixture with the Sunwolves

[taniwharugby]

@kiwimurph be better if the Blues could avoid the Crusaders, Chiefs, Highlanders and HUrricanes....

[KiwiMurph]

Also in the draw - confirmation that Super Rugby 2019 will run uninterrupted (no June international break)

[Hooroo]

Chiefs have a really sweeeet draw. Only one game in SA and Argentina and come home to a bye.

[Stargazer]

Blues don't play the Rebels & Lions
Chiefs don't play the Waratahs & Stormers
Crusaders don't play the Sunwolves & Jaguares
Hurricanes don't play the Reds & Bulls
Highlanders don't play the Brumbies & Sharks

That was also the case in the last World Cup year wasn’t it? No June tours in World Cup year.

Crusaders have a pretty rugged regular season draw. No Sunwolves plus the bye in the final round effectively means only one break in the regular season.

Plus nine games - including six derbies - before we get to the first bye. We're going to have the shit beaten out of us!

On the plus side, we do get a week off before the play-offs, if we make it that far.

@unite Yes. Though my understanding is moving forward there will be no more June breaks.

[Bovidae]

And when are the AB camps going to be scheduled?

Yup the June internationals are to become the July internationals from after the RWC

Gives Australians opportunities to be in camp for weeks prior to inbound tests. Just what the game here needs.

Crusaders about to announce 2 resignings. Bryn Hall and Heiden Bedwell-Curtis ?

[Stargazer]

Not as funny as the previous one

@tim what and what?

The Hurricanes need all their good players on deck after embarrassing defeats to the Crusaders and Brumbies, but that will have to wait at least a week.

[Stargazer]

@bones I have no clue how embedding works (I mean the coding), so don't know where that incorrect text (Brumbies) comes from, but in the article itself the text is correct (Highlanders). Odd.

It means Stuff had it wrong and corrected it (the embed gets cached when its first generated)

[Bones]

@stargazer yeah like Duluth says, I copied that directly from the article.
