The Silver Fern

@MN5 he's in the mix

Crusaders captain,?, Blackadder

@Crazy-Horse He was at the ASB tennis in Auckland couple days ago.

Must be me, I'll buy anyone a Beer or 3, everyone have a great Christmas and next year.

Seevu Reece has obviously been playing up., looks like he's got of conviction tho.

@Daffy-Jaffy don't think Bates is keen ,or been told no thanks.

Auckland after a new head coach, Craig has committed to the Blues,

@Chris most disappointing thing that Razor said was Reece and Blackadder are made for test Rugby most likely case closed.

I'd say Zarn Sullivan will need some game time in the 13 or 12, pre season, Big opportunity for him to claim a spot in the 23, Sounds like Vern will start Plummer 10,

@george33 must add Reiko Simpson will also be around the Blues ,

@gt12 No he's there ,just another combination that could throw up some different ideas.

@Duluth possibly playing 13, with AJ at 12, ,

So Zarn Sullivan a possibility of moving into the midfield

@Billy-Tell isn't Gros out also, concussion.

@Canes4life 12.30am Friday,

@Chris so Preston has signed for the Crusaders then?, thought Hurricanes offered him a contract, he must have turned it down.

@Steven-Harris I think he may be leaving, have talked to my source , sounded concerned about it, wouldn't deny it. Be massive blow if it is happening.

Ivan Cleary with Vern Cotter at Blues HQ today.

Isn't the All Blacks named at 12.30 am NZ time,

@Steven-Harris Rob really never got the opportunity, not sure why , there have been few rumors, still the man is a great talent.
