@Stargazer Sumo has mentioned Dixon, Hemopo and Squire for the Highlanders.
Back to the bench for Frizell then...

@KiwiMurph Don't care about Frizell, but I don't want Mikaele-Tu'u to lose his spot to players (most likely Dixon) who aren't committed to the future of the team, because they'll probably be heading off to the NH again, once things go back to normal if given the chance.
-
just as well they don't have a former halfback to bring back - otherwise Fakatava would be even further behind in the pecking order and @Stargazer would riot.

Colin Slade is off-contract and French sources suggest he'll be playing for the Hurricanes next season
Interesting, how old is Slade these days?
-
@Canes4life He's 32. Maybe as a replacement for James Marshall? Certainly an upgrade.

Will be interesting to see if Pari Pari Parkinson is still the softest player in New Zealand.

That French rumour about Colin Slade isn't true @Canes4life.
He just posted on instagram that he'll play for the Mitsubishi Dynaboars next Top League season.

Financially, a comp in closed stadiums helps sponsors financially because they're getting exposure. The franchises, who depend on gate-takings for their main income, don't benefit much financially from this comp until the crowds are allowed back into the stadiums.

Rugby Australia boss Rob Clarke confirmed Australian teams were still working towards a July 4 kick-off for a five-team competition including the Western Force. -

There's no way South Africa or Argentina could be involved and RA will get bugger all cash from Fox for a glorified NRC.

Not to mention season membership holders like myself who have already paid for games we won't be able to attend in person.
An email yesterday says we should get an update next week.
