    @chris As @chchfanatic said, your crew knew what to do and fucked it up. No ones fault but your own.

    Totally agree we fucked up,That doesn't turn the comp into a true competition.
    Thats my point not about the Blues not deserving to win.
    My point being the Competition format was seriously flawed

    After all of this banter I'm looking forward to the first Blues-Crusaders game next year. 🙂

    oh we'll probably lose. Y'know, low expectations ... but we'll still be reigning SRTT champions.

    Good to have Schmidt back. I was a big fan of the 2007 Blues attack.

    @nzzp so with that being the last probable super rugby TT , does that mean you’ll get to keep the trophy. I’ve got a guy who makes trophy cabinets if you want him to send one up. He used to making big ones but I’m sure he’ll do a small one for the blues 😂😂

    @daffy-jaffy Wow, big signing. I wonder if he has helped with recruiting a name lock as a one season replacement for Tuipulotu?

    massive signing. Big rugby brain - he did so much with limited stocks in Ireland. Love to see what magic he works alongside Leon, and really should have Sir Graham on call a couple of times a week for innovative ideas.

    Standby for the most robotic formulaic boring rugby ever from the blues! 😉

    It's like the Blues are too structured already, and that wouldn't add a good dimension to their game 🙂

    Seriously, though, I'm sure he'll get creative ... I'm excited

    Huge, indeed massive, signing, great for NZ. Won two tests against the ABs and damn nearly a third (THAT game in 2013). Also someone who seems able to put his ego aside.

    Scott Robertson + Joe Schmidt + one more = the next Three Wise Men?

    I don't think Joe is at all keen on any full time jobs like abs, so it won't be happening. Maybe as selector, but I think helping out the blues is the level he is interested in. Razor plus Japan's coaches would be nice!

    from the42.ie

    The 56-year-old has been mentoring Blues head coach Leon McDonald over the past year and will now formally link with the Auckland-based franchise as part of their coaching team following the departure of Tana Umaga.
    It marks a return to the Blues for Schmidt, who was previously an assistant coach for the franchise from 2004 until 2007 when he moved to Clermont in France.

    The latest comment on that ie42 article made me laugh -

    "@Pedro: God help us all then. Between their skill levels and precision and his attention to detail there’ll be no hope for the rest of us"

    "The Blues squad will be named in three weeks, with pre-season preparations to begin soon after".
