@daffy-jaffy Robinson seems a real character!

Think the blues are doing really well with those clips they are doing.

@taniwharugby country bumpkins alright ..hearty ..!

Since I was given two sets of blues singlets and shorts as a bit of a joke gift by a friend, I’ve decided to officially declare that the Blues are now my second team.

Fuck you guys when you play the Chiefs, but the rest of the time, I’m going to be on the wagon.

I’ll admit that having a few players I really like (Paps, Big Red, Clarke) has influenced this decision.

@daffy-jaffy That was cool, thanks for posting.

In case someone didn't know: the Hawke's Bay Rugby Union have confirmed on its FB page (answering a question) that Neria Fomai has a Blues contract.

'People thought I wanted to be a ball-running, crash-ball Ma'a, Sonny sort of person': Blues midfielder comfortable with new role

There's something slightly old school about this year's Blues backline: the inclusion of Harry Plummer as a traditional second five-eighths.

@daffy-jaffy can we change the thread title to "Auckland Blues 2021"?

[Nogusta]

There's some footy on today at Pakuranga for any locals.
Blues vs Northland and Auckland vs Harbour.
Not sure about the time but I think from midday.

[Tim]

@nogusta Any idea who's playing for Auckland or the Blues? Harbour have posted their team.

No Roots brothers.

[Dice]

@tim Looks like Suafoa is with Harbour now.

And Moala-Liava'a is back.

[Stargazer]

@tim So Harbour have poached Damarius Hokianga! Another one from the HB Academy gone. That explains why he wasn't playing against Wellington and Manawatu.

No Antonio Mikaele-Tu'u in that squad. Here's hoping ... although he might still be with the Blues.

[Tim]

@stargazer Yeah, suspect he is with Blues Dev team. Did he return to Hawkes Bay from Waikato before being loaned to Harbour?

[Nogusta]

@stargazer AMT ruptured his achilles a couple weeks ago

[Stargazer]

@tim Yes, he played his club rugby in Hawke's Bay, before going to Harbour. He also wasn't in the initial Harbour squad; I don't remember who he was the injury replacement for.

[Stargazer]

@nogusta Bugger! How long will that take to heal?
