    Tom Coventry discussing Robinson:

    "He's hobbling around today so he's pretty keen to get himself back onto the bike and then onto his feet in the next three to four weeks."
    
    "I don't think it's going to be a long injury but it might take him out of a significant amount of this short programme we have now."
    
    "The diagnosis was six to eight weeks but we're hoping it's five to six weeks with a couple of byes in there. I'd like to see him back. I know he's going to pushing for it."
    

    Tu'inukuafe should be back after the bye

    @Duluth they look like a bunch of blokes enjoying each other's company. And it shows on the field too, trust in each other.

    Well done the coaching staff.

    Unfortunately for Big Red, the poor bugger is made from glass. He just can’t get a decent run of games under his belt can he.

    I also like the competitive edge that's there in a silly game of football

    This quote from Sotutu about Ioane says a bit about the team too. A good team should sound a bit like a cult.

    “Aki’s sort of the big brother in the team. He’s happy for me and happy that I’m getting a shot. He’s real supportive of all the players, but especially me. He’s always been helping me out through my development with the Blues...The Blues are my team, the team I care about – and I feel like I was only going to play the best rugby for a team that I care about”

    @Duluth Yeah that video reminded of me of Zinny and his need to win at everything at all times.

    @KiwiMurph I only saw 'season ending' in an article.

    GUess it probably refers to the Blues seaosn, which is shorter than normal anyway.

    He might be back for the Blues too. It'll be late in the season though

    @Duluth Nice words from Sotutu about a player who's supposedly selfish and all about himself with no workrate.....

    Easy to say without seeing his facials.

    Caleb Clarke explains the massive contribution Dan Carter has already made to the Blues campaign

    Caleb Clarke explains the massive contribution Dan Carter has already made to the Blues campaign

    Dan Carter has yet to make an appearance for the Blues this year but make no mistake, Carter is already contributing to the culture and success of a team that is now chasing their seventh win on the trot.

    Even the Blues’ other most significant signing for 2020, Beauden Barrett, had never won a Super Rugby game in the Waikato, with his old side the Hurricanes also breaking their duck earlier this season and recording a first win in Hamilton since 2007.

    The one man in the Blues who had tasted victory against the Chiefs in the Waikato, however, is new recruit Carter, and he wasted no time motivating his new club ahead of their win, according to wing Caleb Clarke.

    If England didn't know about this before, they sure will now. Thanks NZ Herald.

    Fozzie better cap him this year.

    They still have those players outside the caps, a team could chuck a fortune at him, if they wanted. In NZ he would be getting SFA, really it is the lure of the black jersey vs $$$

    "When the decision comes it will come easy but for the moment I'm just focusing on the Blues.

    Youd think he has his mind made up already, and TBH the timing couldn't be better with Read retiring, he is a ready made fit to get the call up whenever international rugby returns...

    He'll have to severe his ties with Fiji before he goes to England.

    Adesanya with the Blues after the game. Surprised Rieko looks taller
