@Machpants said in Super Rugby 2020:
So 6 spots to make 31
DMac for sure
Ennor, apparently
Frizzell was a replacement in the squad
Laumape almost certainly
Fafita?
Were short locks, but Sam is back
Dalton maybe?
Akira 🤣
Oh Josh IoaneSo 7 others have been given restrictions (when your create a space from Todd). Moli and Jacobson already counted as part of the initial squad.
We know
DMac for sure
Ennor, apparently
Frizzell was a replacement in the squad
Laumape almost certainlyThree others that no one has worked out for sure.
I'm guessing Karl T is one. Will be difficult to tell as props never play full games anyway these days
Papalii? Has been high on the radar and the ABs still never solved the blindside.
Is Akira one of them? Got some tough love from Shag, but you do have to wonder how much of that was Shag upholding principles. Does Fozzie have a different approach he wants to try?
As for locks, we need to see them in action so I doubt that anyone is high enough on the radar yet to warrant special treatment.

@Machpants Sam Whitelock returns to NZ in May and will be available for the ABs this year.
You also forgot that Todd has left for Japan.
Thanks about Todd, this is about those on rest periods for SR 2020 so Sam doesn't apply
So we should have 7 more than the RWC squad on SR rest, not 6.

@Canes4life said in Super Rugby 2020:
@booboo should have elaborated more, I'm more talking about the fringe All Black's, surely they don't need the same minute restrictions as the top line guys.
Anyway no matter what way it is spun, the Super Rugby brand is taking a hit with these guys sitting on the sidelines, and the NZRU wonder why most stadiums are half full.
the stadiums have been half full for 20 years.

@Unite said in Super Rugby 2020:
Are the NZ based games screened in 4K? I notice on Fox in Aus they have the Brumbies v Reds on the 4K channel but the Blues v Chiefs is on the normal HD channel.
Nah Sky doesn't offer 4k yet, RWC was in 4k too, just not in NZ
