    I was expecting him to carve up the 10s but he was more Caleb Ralph than Caleb Clarke.

    Nankivell was pants in the Blues game. That looks close to the first-choice backline with Ngatai in for Nankivell. Maybe the right wing spot is open too.

    Aumua, Verney, Pulu and Ardron haven't seen sighted yet.

    Take out Barrett and Coles, and that's a lot different looking Hurricanes team.

    Barrett is a wizard at this level.

    Good to see Fatialofa and Blade Thompson back in the line-up. Also interesting is Atu Moli selected at loose head for the Chiefs. Maybe his aspirations for an All Blacks call lay there.

    Let him rest during Super Rugby and play some Mitre 10 Cup to get ready for the AB season

    The Blues' recent winning run has come to an abrupt halt at the hands of the Hurricanes in a pre-season game in Warkworth today, but far more concerning for coach Tana Umaga are the injuries to starting loose forwards Jerome Kaino, Jimmy Tupou and Dalton Papali'i.

    The trio left the Mahurangi Rugby Club field in the first half and their conditions were not readily available to Umaga afterwards. But he was worried enough to pull fellow loose forwards Murphy Taramai and Akira Ioane from the line of fire in case they too were injured.

    Veteran All Black Kaino and the tall, athletic Tupou would have been almost certain starters for the Blues' first match of the new Super Rugby season against the Highlanders in Dunedin next Friday but Kaino, his left knee already heavily strapped, must be a considerable doubt in particular.

    Tupou also appeared to injure a leg but it was not immediately known what Papali'i's issue was.
