    <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif;background-color:rgb(237,237,237);">Tuipulotu said: “I am really enjoying my rugby at the Blues and I am learning a lot playing under Tana. I like being based at home right now. Next year the Lions are coming to New Zealand which would be great to be part of. Injury meant I missed a chance to play in the World Cup, and so long term I would love to be at the next one.”</span></blockquote>

    <p>Do they take into account the red card (and the resulting 65 minutes his team played with 14 men) as part of the sentence?</p>

    <p>Nadolo posted this tweet yesterday (Monday) evening: "Looks like it's fittness for me"</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Sounds like he got a suspension but I've seen nothing on the SANZAAR website or in the media about the length/number of games. If Evemy only got 4 weeks, this should be much shorter ...</p>

    <p>No doubt that le Roux's landing was horrifying, and glad he's ok (classy aftermatch reactions from him to)</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>however</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>does this mean that all these type of careless clashes result in a 4 week ban, even when the jumper lands less spectacularly?</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Time will tell I guess</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>To be fair Rugby in general has dealt with this dangerous scenario pretty well over the last 3-4 years. I remember when this stuff first started happening and most were all (correctly at the time) pointing out that it wasn't deliberate and the offender only had eyes on the ball. It's been a positive mindshift that eyes on the ball isn't enough of an excuse and you have to be more mindful of the consequences. We seem to have a happy medium of far less wipe outs and still a contest if the chaser can get there quickly enough </p>

    <p>For the Blues James Parsons has taken over the captaincy from Jerome Kaino full time. Kaino has said a big part of this is because he isn't able to take full part in training due to his shoulder niggle. A good move I think - captaincy seems to sit more naturally with Parsons.</p>

    <p>Agree in every respect taniwha.</p>
    <p>But if the resultant "message" is that players have to take a degree of care, then I think that's for the better.</p>
    <p>I still cringe when I see replays of Le Roux landing. It was bloody close to being a rugby tragedy. </p>

    <p> </p>
    <p>At least ALB, Bird and Harris are back and Hames is making his debut from the bench.</p>

    <p>All Blacks certainly wouldn't miss him but Chiefs would. Who are the other fullbacks in the Chiefs squad?</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Horrell I guess.</p>

    <p>Tony Pulu is a pretty good fullback and has a good kick on him but yeah, DMac would be a big loss.</p>

    <p>I see in the article on Stuff they mention that he turned down the Blues and Saders who offered him the 10 jersey. That news will put their current 10s on notice.</p>

    Interesting indeed considering the saders don't have a coach for next year. Is riach picking the side now?
