    @daffy-jaffy Might do. Only saw him at loosehead on Massey's team sheets this year, but Ray Niuia was there at hooker.

    Makes sense when you have 3 x AB props that won't be around until right before the season starts

    Heard that Jock McKenzie almost broke Beauden Barrett’s Blues bronco record of 4.12 ..not bad for a lad who is in the wider training squad ..

    @steven-harris I like that Jock looks exactly like the guy you'd draw if someone said draw Jock.

    Suspect that a lot of All Blacks will be rested in the first round game against Moana Pacifica, in order to reduce their average minutes over the restricted period. Although there will be some pressure to play "stars" in the competition's inaugural match. Blues next games until their bye are against the Hurricanes, Chiefs, Highlanders, Crusaders, Highlanders, Moana Pacifica, and the Chiefs.

    Possibilities:

    Barrett and Rieko Ioane on the bench.
    Resting Tu'inukuafe, Laulala, Papalii and/or Akira Ioane.
    Robinson at lock.
    Choat and Segner or Choat and Plumtree/Suafoa on the flanks?
    Or perhaps Akira Ioane starting, with Segner off the bench?
    RTS to get game time?

    Might see a 23 such as the following:

    15 Sullivan
    14 Telea
    13 Heem
    12 Tele'a
    11 Clarke
    10 Plummer
    9 Christie
    8 Sotutu
    7 Choat
    6 Plumtree
    5 Goodhue
    4 Robinson
    3 Tu'ungafasi
    2 Eklund
    1 Hodgman

    16 Vikena
    17 Lay
    18 Renata
    19 Romano
    20 Ioane
    21 Nock
    22 Barrett
    23 Rieko Ioane/RTS

    Remember this sweet Joeli try?

    Like Goldie, Joeli had a knack of getting the bounce off his own chip kicks.

    Jeepers, looks like they’re at a funeral or someone dropped one.

    Cheer up you fluffybunnies, you’re getting paid well to play a game you love !
