I'm all for as many of these guys playing as possible. They enhance depth and competition and raise the standard among the squads. Good young guys won't be blocked because if they're good enough they'll get a crack. If they're not good enough to supplant an aging veteran then so be it, as they'd have lowered the standard if playing by default.
Squad depth has been eroded, and eroded, and eroded over the years. Some years it's been a negligible drop but others it's been substantial, and very noticeable. Get them back in. This can ONLY help.

Eden Park CEO was talking about how they might get crowds back: Link
10 gates and 500 people per gate for a crowd of 5000
Possible to have some distancing and let in 40% capacity (20,000)
Obviously that would depend on the Government & NZR. Also they have yet to be confirmed as the Blues home ground so maybe this is for the NPC

They'd be delighted with 20,000 even outside of COVID times

Just below 20k is what they'd get for a big SR derby game in fine weather. With results improving that might change.
It'll be interesting to see what happens when crowds are fully allowed back. A boost, or will people be cautious of big events?

Possibly? Just means Ginger in UK forces, maybe not a widespread term!

I preferred this:Gwa
A 'Gwa' is a person with a general chernobyl look to them. They have a recessed chin, overbite, a sharp or overlarge nose, lazy eye and/or usually accompanied by other rat-like features. The recessed chin and overbite is mandatory. They are best determined by seeing a side profile. Its almost like their chin becomes one with their neck. Think of the movie "Gummo" or your typical trailer trash. The defination was created by Jennicartoon.com after noticing the evolving "look" of people. These "gwa's" got their name by basically looking like the only word they could spit past their stonehenge teeth would be "Gwa!"
Holy shitballs! Look at the Gwa's picking through the dumpster!Apologies to the team above.

@KiwiMurph Good. I was concerned World Rugby's recent elections had them taken over by league lovers.
