    re: Akira. So which of you guys wouldn't go over to help out your old man if he was in a scuffle?

    Depends if it was my dad who started it and whether i had a lucrative rugby career to risk or not.

    So you'd look up see the scuffle going on and first enquire, "excuse me who started this?" before going over to help your old man out, and then you'd stop and think 'oh best not ruin my lucrative rugby career by going over'.

    Hmmm, ok. Well, you have more self control than me.

    @nepia I think it's more that no one is surprised that Akira's dad is up in the crowd having a scrap.

    Why? Is he a known scrapper? During the Lions tour both him and the wife came across as bloody nice people. I think it's understandable if he had to put up with @SammyC 😉 giving Akira shit all match that he'd tell him to calm his farm and it could easily escalate from there.

    Jesus, BBBR's old man is going to kill someone in the stands by that measure.

    This made me laugh. It's been a good day for posts making me laugh.

    Can you imagine that scenario and his Dad says he in fact started it and Ikira actually tells the stranger it's ok to keep laying into him

    Well Akira gets in a year when he's one of the hardest workers in a completely shit team so nothing is out the realm of possibility.

    Well um yes, at least to the career part. Just like you might stop before punching someone on the street because it might land you in jail.
    This wasn't some bar fight where his dad was outnumbered getting a beating. This is fucking Eden park at a professional rugby game. It's becoming clearer that both brothers have a problem with self control when it comes to tough guy shit (if all these stories are true).

    Is it weird that Blues players aren't playing club rugby for the second week in a row? (At least in the Auckland competition.)

    Its probably because of this:

    Blues Rugby

    Blues Rugby

    The official home of the Blues rugby team. Buy tickets and merchandise, get the latest news, view results and go behind-the-scenes with our players.

    The Blues along with the provincial teams from Northland, North Harbour and Auckland, will take part in a special Backyard Battle at Mahurangi Rugby Club on Wednesday 20 June.
    
    All four teams will play continuously on the two grounds over three periods of 30 minutes. They will swap opposition after each 30-minute spell.

    @duluth and unlike many other squads that were given a good week or two off, the Blues have trained through. I do wonder if the players are tired rather than refreshed. Winners get time off, losers have to keep chugging.

    @tim Have the Blues and Harbour named a team? I've only seen squad lists from Auckland and Northland.
