    I can't see anything but an easy blues win here

    why? just because they have 6 current AB's plus a handfull more who might be in with the shout this year...because they're top of the table and we've managed one win over NZ position in 4 years....so narrow minded....

    Hopefully Suafoa subs on for one of the flankers. Suafoa and Ioane in the same trio could work given the Blues gameplan

    We'll see. People said the same thing about the Crusaders last week... never underestimate confidence, momentum and belief.

    Blues resting a shit ton of players will only increase the belief I think.

    Blues probably still get it done, but I'd expect it to be close.

    Not so sure

    New 8-9-10 combo for Blues

    Breaking up Blues midfield combo

    Sotutu, Telea etc not playing.

    Think this one could get tight

    From the ODT

    Dermody said Harmon was well off being considered for selection this week.
    
    The nasty cut on his palm he sustained in Tonga had since got infected, and the star loose forward needed time to come right.
    
    Centre Tanielu Tele’a is named despite failing an HIA test against the Crusaders.
    
    Tele’a got a ‘‘whack to the face’’ and his smart mouthguard sent an alert for him to be checked at halftime, Dermody said.
    
    He failed the initial HIA protocol — involving a memory test — so had to be replaced. But he passed the second stage of the protocol two days later, and again 24 hours after that, so can play this week

    Stephen Perofeta, Bryce Heem and Marcel Renata all late withdrawals for the blues.

    Both teams usual strip is blue. What madness is this that one of the teams is using an alternate strip to avoid a clash.

    That is not the Super Rugby way.
