Who is the Wallaby superstar/playmaker that wants to play for a NZ team? (I don't subscribe to nzherald out of principle: I'm stingy).
EDIT: I really am only interested to find out what they mean by "superstar" and "playmaker". A current Wallaby? Really?

JOC. Chiefs rumoured.

@rotated ah, thanks. Superstar though? Playmaker? He does look a little like Jesus had a baby and called it Michael Bublé, I guess.

[mikey07]

@rotated Would rather he come to the Canes even JOC is head and shoulders above JGB

Because they are playing the whole round at one venue and that hasn't been finalised yet

[Kiwiwomble]

@Hooroo really, i'd missed that

I doubt it will be melbounre….so im super pissed once again I wont get to see the landers, we've only played in Melbourne once in the last five years

Someone will know but I believe it will be Aussie somewhere rather than NZ. I think I heard Gold Coast? But I may be making that up in my head

[Kiwiwomble]

@Hooroo that would make sense, still warm but not too hot at the time of year etc

[Derpus]

The Gold Coast - where sport goes to die.

[KiwiMurph]

I think it's much more likely to be Suncorp - which is apparently free that weekend.

[Bovidae]

I realise they want a triple-header in Rd 1 but midnight kickoff (NZT) in Perth - ho hum.

[KiwiMurph]

@Bovidae At other end of spectrum Force round 2 home game will kick off at 5.45pm local time on a Friday.

[Bovidae]

@KiwiMurph The simple solution is to play some afternoon games on a Sat in Aust.
