@Bovidae painfully amateur. How can the Canes not have a yellow jersey available. Surely someone is racing back to base as we speak to retrieve the yellow kit.

@MiketheSnow Do they come in Blues ?

Baby Blues

Sad that Tito Harris is injured, His pace and experience could have been a difference maker.
Lock Tevita Tatafu is apparently 6'9 tall (according to St Peters Instagram in June last year, so he may be 6'10 plus by now!)

AFEAKI TO LEAD BLUES U20s COACHING GROUP — Blues Rugby

Former All Black and current North Harbour NPC head coach, Ben Afeaki, will lead a strong team of coaches for the Blues Under-20 team to contest the Super Rugby U20 Tournament in Taupo next week. The third annual tournament will be staged in Taupo against U20 squads from the Chiefs, Hurricanes, Cru

Afeaki will be supported by assistant coaches Jeff Ierome, Matt Howling and Ian Robinson.
The U20s Blues final squad will be announced this week.

@Bovidae said in Blues v Brumbies:

Some chatter from the U20 game. Barrett has a broken hand

Confirmation -

The Blues medical team has confirmed that Beauden Barrett, who was forced out of the game at halftime, has suffered a hand fracture.

The injury requires ongoing assessment before determining details of treatment or time required for recovery.

We’ll update when we can

@Nepia said in Coaches - rugby variety, not transport:

Also, Allen was a back

lol, I realized I had Wilson Whineray's picture in my head when I wrote about Allen! Senility setting in.

@MiketheSnow At risk of showing my age - Fred Allen, a forward was unbeaten as coach.

@Bovidae I hunted but was unable to find a MP team list. I was interested to see how many young local players were involved with their wider squad.

Blues A 50-12 MP A
Terrell Peita scored a hat trick.
