@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.

@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

Injury updates
If you are looking for the most recent information about injuries (or other reasons why players may be unavailable for selection, such as rest breaks or suspensions) and expected return dates (where available), have a look at the Fern's homepage.
Click on the team logo in the Super Rugby panel and then click on "Squad".
If you have recent info about new injuries, the nature of existing injuries, player returns/suspensions etc etc, please, send me a link to the source of your info or tag me in the post where you've included the link.

@Stargazer that would require a complete renegotiation of contracts with players and the NZRPA I expect...

@Stargazer said in Super Rugby 2020:
The problem is the length of the season by SANZAAAAR effectively making Super Rugby in reality Average Rugby.
I agree with JK here: Kirwan also said the purpose of Super Rugby should be to be a premium competition involving the best players in action.
"I think what it is, is a feeder to the All Blacks and to Europe."
