@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?
-
Schmidt is a massive gain for any side, well done the blues

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. -

"@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".

Thank god for that I have literally exhausted all my contacts trying to dig up oil trying to piece this squad together.

@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 flawedAnd yet the Crusaders still entered the comp.
I did not know they were unaware of the bonus points system or that they would not play every team. So unfair. I feel sorry for them now.
You do also realize the Boks fans will now seize on your logic to deny the All Blacks one RWC win, don't you? Mark Keohane will just love you. -
@nostrildamus Im fully in the camp that Super rugby TT was not a legitimate comp.
Who can beat the Australian teams the most. Joke of a competition.
Edit: and i hate the crusaders.

Nothing to do with who won that comp not what I was saying .
I repeat stupid competition were you don’t play half the teams is not a true competition.
That was the point of the post not a Serve at the Blues but at the format of the competition.
But I understand the Blues have not won anything for a while so the competition is being defended.
But deep down you know like everyone really does it was a Mickey Mouse comp.
