in hospital in footy shorts and birkinstocks? foot up on the bed? God the Ioane boys have a fucking terrible attitude. Just lazy and arrogant and niggly. The worst.

Akira could be out of action for a while.

He's indicated he has a lisfranc foot injury.

had to google. Looks painful.

Damn unlucky, he's huge for us

Plumtree should get plenty of game time now

When Dalton is back Papali'i/Sotutu/Robinson with Plumtree as cover still looks strong

@duluth It will be interesting to see what teams Suafoa gets used against.

[Duluth]

@tim

They seem to rate him as a lock as well. So we might see Choat & Suafoa on the bench at some stage?

[Daffy Jaffy]

@tim The official SANZAR site match page has Suafoa listed at 19 instead of Darry. Maybe he was initially going to play this game but picked up a late injury this week?

the initial list had Romano/Darry bracketed in the 15, and Darry/Suafoa in reserves

Looks like Romano starting though

Blues lose Akira Ioane to injury as Beauden Barrett nears return

The Blues will open their Super Rugby Pacific campaign without All Blacks star Akira Ioane, who has been sidelined with a foot injury.

Ioane could be back in a couple of weeks if lucky. Papalii is being stood down as a precaution.

With that Injury I think a Couple of weeks for Akira is wishful thinking.
It would be the greatest come back in history from that type of injury.

@chris a Liz franc can be a career ender.

would love to, but have to attend a cricket game in real life instead. Great opportunity, and dispapoined I'll miss it. Still, getting some games at Eden Park will be great
