@westcoastie Todd and Crotty are potentially both under concussion clouds.

I was just reading about SBW starting Ramadan a few days ago, so that means no food or water between dawn and sunset until the day of the 1st test, June 24. He may have fasted in the past without any publicity.
It's not that uncommon amongst athletes, Hakeem Olajuwon being one of the most well-known, but can impact on your ability to perform and rehydrate during practices.

@Bovidae That's gotta play havoc surely. Anyone remember how his form was in previous years around this time?
Last year, Ramadan was exactly in the period between the last leg of the Sevens Series and the Olympics, so he didn't play any games during Ramadan.
In 2015, during the first weekend of the Ramadan, the Chiefs lost the Super Rugby QF to the Highlanders; he played that game, but I can't remember whether he played well or not, or how many minutes. The only other game he played in that period was the All Blacks game v Samoa. He played the full 80 minutes.
In 2013 and 2014, he played rugby league.

I know you're allowed to drink fluids during Ramadan - I wonder if protein shakes are allowed? Or would that be pushing the boundaries a bit?

@No-Quarter guess it all depends how strictly he adheres to it, bearing in mind he only recently altered his stance on Sponsor logos....
-
Wasn't he granted some kind of dispensation in 2011?

@Rancid-Schnitzel from who, MOhammed or Anthony Mundine?

@taniwharugby Which one are you allowed to draw a cartoon of?
-
@antipodean both, just one will make more people angry...

Whitelock is a go without saying isn't he?

If someone told me those jerseys were knockoffs, I'd believe them.

He's automatic.
I'm a little concerned about his puku though...
Probably just a bad picture.
