The Blues' bye in round four adds an extra layer of confusion as the byes apparently re-set the All Blacks' games back to zero. The All Blacks must have two games off this Super Rugby season, not counting the two byes. It seems strange then that prop Karl Tu'inukuafe has been forced to sit out this week as part of the rest protocol. Tu'inukuafe, who was apparently eager to continue, has played six games at an average of 39 minutes each. The front rower has started only two matches. Ioane has started all six and has played an average of 71 minutes each game.

Saw several posts on the Highlanders' and Naholo's instagram (yesterday) with Patrick Osborne. With the message "he's back". Not sure whether that means he's just on a break and visiting his former Highlanders team mates, or whether he's back in the squad (as injury cover).

What's the deal there, mate?
Angry, angry man. All of a sudden seems a very explosive player...

It’s like Aki and Anscombe after the Wales Ireland game.
Sharing some love after escaping from their embattled homeland and finding greener pastures to thrive

saw this on FB...so a competition you have won almost half your games, is tougher than the one you win a bit over a quarter...

@Stargazer I'm 1/3 so far this weekend...just seen reds/stormers result

Hmmm, the loss of Japanese sponsors is a valid point, but let me guess, the Tahs also don't like losing a guaranteed Australian home QF spot that isn't based on points total but on a conference format? And don't like losing the advantage of playing weaker Australian teams twice?

I like it. Except for you know, all the things wrong with it.
Neutral venue? Pretty fucking hard to do when you take geography in to account.
Play anywhere you want? Hmmmm do i live in a 3rd world country like South Africa, or Dunedin, or go live in Sydney? For more moneyBut for the tests i would welcome any change to the current format of the RC. It's shit.
There is no solution to the SANZAAR problem that will keep everybody happy.
