For Aussie viewers it looks like this game is now live on Fox tonight. My emails paid off.

The adult tickets are from $10 and under 18s free entry.

That's pretty cool!

@taniwharugby said in Auckland vs Wellington - Semi Final:

so Dalton pulled? I thought they (ABs) were supposed to be available?

He took a rib knock last game so they aren't risking him.

@daffy-jaffy Coventry did mention there weren't many spots available

@taniwharugby They could sign both if they hadn't already signed Jimmy Tupou....cheers Tana!

Attention Investec Super Rugby fans, mark Wednesday 31 October in your calendar.

It might be Halloween that day, but there’s only a treat instore for rugby fans with all five New Zealand Super Rugby clubs naming their 38-man squads for the 2019 season.

@duluth What the fuck are the Blues waiting for? Sign him. FFS the place is a shambles.

Don’t they have to get NZRU approval? Have to make a case to include an overseas player.
They’ve told him they’re interested and he has said he is too. Sounds like paperwork being done before an offer.

Wouldn't you think you'd communicate that to him instead of the player not hearing anything and being concerned?

On another note interesting to hear his comment about no dickheads being in the Auckland team. Wonder if Hansen is reading this article.....

Experienced Super Rugby trainer Phil Healey has been named to join the Blues with coaches Tana Umaga, Tom Coventry and Leon Macdonald.

Healey, former Chiefs strength and conditioning coach and currently at Glasgow Warriors in Scotland, will join the Blues for the next two years to lead the club’s strength and conditioning programme.

Healey was head strength and conditioning coach at the Chiefs for nine years and a key part of their two Super Rugby titles along with reaching the playoffs five times. He has spent two years with Dave Rennie at the Glasgow Warriors in UK and will return to New Zealand with his family before the start of the 2019 pre-season.

@chchfanatic last year's NZ Super squads were announced on 1 November. So I'd assume something similar this year.
