However, Fiji Rugby chairman Conway Beg has announced the team will be based entirely in Australia for “at least” the inaugural 2022 season. He said the intention was for the team to return to Fiji for 2023.

It's all a bit academic isn't it?
Australia have lost the fight to keep Covid out. Even the dimmest politicians are starting to acknowledge that.
The NZ Labour Government isn't the sort to take chances, no matter how much they talk up "risk management" they'll run scared. We'll be screwed down tighter in terms of entry in 2021 than 2022, as they won't want another round of lockdowns making them look bad right before an election.
So no trans- Ta$man competitions in 2022.
And if Labour win, then I wouldn't like to predict the next time we will see one.

From a Blues perspective, lock and midfield signings are of most interest.
Seeing him last night, reckon Chocobares would have gone well for us. Will he be available in this new post-covid world?
Beaudy will be huge at 10 - can't wait. He's looking good, and witha decent pack in front of him should do plenty on the field.
Lock si the big area of concern for me, PT will be a big loss at Super level.

Any rumours of signings for next season?

It’s sadly quiet for the dawn of a new competition
Nz rugby really needs to higher some hype people
Would have thought we’d see at least some more chat from the new teams

@nogusta I'm happy about that. I think he's a hard working and accurate player. He only missed 3 tackles out of 106 for Auckland in 2020. Ball carrying more often will be his work on. Do you know anything about Dilllon Hunt's health status for next year? Also any oil on new Locks? Or Tana's replacement?

Anybody heard any oil on when the NZ Super Squads will be released ?.Are we looking at the normal Nov 1st, or due to an extension to NPC and a latter pre season for SR teams,Something like a Dec 1st release date.
You'd hope itd be a bit later to give the Auckland etc players more of a chance to win a contract. Though I guess there usually aren't many spots free anyway

@chris I DMd all the super teams on insta last year and the Highlanders got back to me with a date. I'll try that again, well every team apart from the Canes as they've blocked me.
Hahaha they blocked you, geez that’s good PR ,
I see why Canes supporters get frustrated.
Ok good call let’s hope the Highlanders get back to you again. -

@chris was about a year ago. When they announced the signing of Julian and I commented and said that his spot would be better off given to a young player within the region so they blocked me lmao.
Fair call mate I kinda agree with you there.
