@bayimports Probably keeping it simple for him rather than training in multiple positions?

I'm keen to see how he goes in the 12 jersey especially how well he can distribute.

He has quite a few try assists to his name but the distribution will be markedly different from what he is used to, but cant wait to see him play!

Yeah I hope that RTS is the one in a million insta hit at Union!

Blues issue update on Beauden Barrett's concussion and All Blacks availability

The Blues will likely be at full-strength in their season-opener next month, but question marks remain over the fitness of Beauden Barrett.

[Kirwan]

@machpants I'm very excited to see what he does in union. RTS and RI in the midfield has the potential to be something special.

He's done everything right so far, reports on his preperation remind me of the SBW training ethic we always heard about.

@tim ha, beat me to it

[Nepia]

BB not looking too good.

We might be spared the BB v Mo debate shitfight this year.

@nepia Have you heard something more?

Nah, just from reading the article and thinking about other players who had concussion issues.

ABs back at training.

i love that, no matter what level you play, or how good you are, your preseason training face is always the same

Is Akira an Orlando Pirates FC fan?

Moobs are looking good

I'm really excited to see RTS at 12. I know I shouldn't have high expectations, but I can't help it.

If he and Rieko get going (especially if they can bring Clarke through off his wing to create some extra space for the 13 channel), they could be really fucking lethal and heaps of fun to watch.

@mn5 bloody Akira and his facial expressions - now he's too serious!

He's clearly gone backwards under Foster. Leon will fix it and ensure he's not pulling faces by the end of SR.

Robinson and Blues seeking more success in 2022

Winning the Super Rugby Trans-Tasman title last year may have ended a long-running Blues drought, but no one in the side is under any illusions about that title's status.

I think I remember saying this a while back inciting vitriol from some Blues fans.

@chris quite the difference between a player putting a result in perspective for his team to focus on the next goal, and sour grapes from a fan whose team couldn't even make the final.
