@daffy-jaffy Might do. Only saw him at loosehead on Massey's team sheets this year, but Ray Niuia was there at hooker.

@tim There is a picture of Sione Ahio also at training on the Insta story. So that's four Props in the wtg!
Makes sense when you have 3 x AB props that won't be around until right before the season starts

Heard that Jock McKenzie almost broke Beauden Barrett’s Blues bronco record of 4.12 ..not bad for a lad who is in the wider training squad ..

@daffy-jaffy good to see some collaboration happening
-
@steven-harris I like that Jock looks exactly like the guy you'd draw if someone said draw Jock.

@steven-harris

Suspect that a lot of All Blacks will be rested in the first round game against Moana Pacifica, in order to reduce their average minutes over the restricted period. Although there will be some pressure to play "stars" in the competition's inaugural match. Blues next games until their bye are against the Hurricanes, Chiefs, Highlanders, Crusaders, Highlanders, Moana Pacifica, and the Chiefs.
Possibilities:
Barrett and Rieko Ioane on the bench.
Resting Tu'inukuafe, Laulala, Papalii and/or Akira Ioane.
Robinson at lock.
Choat and Segner or Choat and Plumtree/Suafoa on the flanks?
Or perhaps Akira Ioane starting, with Segner off the bench?
RTS to get game time?Might see a 23 such as the following:
15 Sullivan
14 Telea
13 Heem
12 Tele'a
11 Clarke
10 Plummer
9 Christie
8 Sotutu
7 Choat
6 Plumtree
5 Goodhue
4 Robinson
3 Tu'ungafasi
2 Eklund
1 Hodgman16 Vikena
17 Lay
18 Renata
19 Romano
20 Ioane
21 Nock
22 Barrett
23 Rieko Ioane/RTS -
Remember this sweet Joeli try?
Like Goldie, Joeli had a knack of getting the bounce off his own chip kicks.

I’m disappointed he didn’t just trample them
