As NZ Covid restrictions are confusing.
Does phase 3 now help SR teams as they are heading home.
For A player who tests positive it will not now mean other members of the squad will not have to isolate as a close contact ?, unless they are staying in the same household.
Or have I got the that all wrong ?.Unless they are living with or similar, so if you were sharing a hotel room or are flatmates, you'll have to iso with test on day 5 and 8
Usually the out of town squaddies group together in flats so maybe a risk of 2-3 out at a time.

We're heading home for Super Rugby clash with Chiefs — Blues Rugby
The Blues are coming home to rugby’s spiritual home of Eden Park next week. After a month in a bubble in Queenstown, the Blues are set to take on neighbours the Chiefs at Eden Park next Saturday, 5 March in the third round of the DHL Super Rugby Pacific competition.

@machpants maybe we will get to see them up here, albeit likely in an empty Okara Park.

How many 100 person bubbles through different doors?

@machpants I'll happily sit on the grass somewhere, social distanced from everyone.

@duluth not too much to disagree with. Jordie probably the most unlucky given how good Jordan was
oh, actually LF unlucky too, Rayasi was bloody good though.
RTS lucky no one else did enough at 12 to overshadow the good things he did.

Yeah he did a decent job
Finlay Christie v Smith is another close call

actually that's the other unlucky one, he was so good at just clearing fast all day when that Blues attack was rolling.
The Hurricanes lock would be unlucky as well, he had some bright moments. I would probably put him in over Barrett, but can't really whinge about the selection -

Thomas Umaga-Jensen was very good too. Not brillant but solid and error free.

I was really impressed with TUJ's game , as you solid and error free which is a bloody good start for me.

cool .... more tech
Computer chip and chase: Ball-tracking technology to be used in Super Rugby
Australian Super Rugby games will be the first major competition matches to use smart ball tracking technology, created in part by a former NASA scientist who designed rockets to fly to Mars.
-
Oh. Joy.
-
@bayimports Oh goody, Hopefully the ball tracking will become sort of GPS devise as well. I am sick of looking for balls that disappear over banks and down into the long weeds or get stuck up in trees where it takes ages to locate them in both instances. Even have had to go back on Sunday's sometimes to try and find them! There are plenty of grounds in Wellington that it would be very useful to have those capabilities.

Isn't it wonderful news? I assume it makes it easier for the ball boys to find them? FFS!

Hopefully they can build an alert system in so Will fucking Jordan knows when the ball is travelling his way.
