@Stargazer said in Super Rugby News:

In 2020 and 2021, the Blues would - presumably - stick with at least two of Plummer, Black and Perofeta. In those two years - you'd hope - these players develop into better players than they are now. One of them might end up becoming the incumbent no. 10.

...and then signing for Castres and London Irish respectively. Even at this early stage none show signs of being a real incumbent AB first five and they are the only players the NZRU will throw money at to keep in the country.

@KiwiMurph boom! Wow, great result for NZ rugby I think, having him back in the fold

Great news. Wonder when the Schmidt news gets announced...

NRL star Solomone Kata tipped for code switch to union

He may have just switched clubs within rugby league, but NRL star Solomone Kata is expected to soon be playing rugby union.

[Snowy]

@Tim It would be cruel to suggest that he was going to the Magpies and Chiefs right?

[Steven Harris]

@Tim needs to sharpen up on his defence if he is to make a code shift.

[Gunner]

Rugby involves passing the ball, so he’ll be a flop.

[KiwiMurph]

wasn't sure where to put this.

If true, it's like battered wife syndrome.

@KiwiMurph Beauden might inspire the Blues to the dizzy heights of 4th in the NZ conference next year.
