Highlanders
Gains: Gareth Evans (Hurricanes); Makalio (Crusaders); Banks (Southland); Dawai (Waikato); Marshall (Ireland); Timu (Otago); Withy (Otago), Ma’u (Otago), Hicks ( Ta$man), Caird (Northland).Never heard of him and he was not part of the Ta$man outfit that got flogged in their Shield Challenge. Can you give us a brief summation on why he should be, or what he has done to warrant being, included in a Super Rugby squad please?

So Super Rugby is looking like a 2 Round NZ based competition with MP included ,That would help with the toll on the players in another domestic comp.
Or Single Rd domestic comp with the hope a trans tasmen comp like last year can be squeezed in.
Not ideal once again.

@chris what I’ve I missed?

@kiwiwomble NZ travel restrictions until 30 April have been announced (or maybe, restrictions will be dropped as of 30 April). Double vaxxed covid negative Aussies (and others i assume) have to home quarantine for 7 days until then.
No sporting exemptions yet. https://covid19.govt.nz/alert-levels-and-updates/latest-updates/reconnecting-new-zealand-the-next-steps/
Apparently Australians aren't 'others eligible'.

The competition will feature “Super Round Melbourne,’’ the brain child of both NZ Rugby and Rugby Australia, which is designed to showcase the competition before the start of the NRL and AFL. Backed by TEG Live, Asia Pacific’s leading live entertainment company and the Victorian Government, it will see games played at AAMI Park for three straight days of double-headers between February 25-27, and “home’’ teams will be reimbursed.Another fucking stupid idea IMO.
the NRL one is pretty fucking great
It's played in a league heartland.
I'm fairly certain no front rower wants to be the last game on AAMI park that weekend either.
that you derpus?
Nah, he didn't say 'and all the ozzie teams will lose'
Muthafucka... that's exactly the gag I wanted to make, but was too lazy.
why don't you post them then in the memes thread when you get round to it-no one will notice the repeats..

The Chiefs will need to replace Barnes unless Nick White takes on a larger role.
MacLeod is the guy who @Steven-Harris rates, right?

@gt12 Dale I believe is joining Moana Pacifika , have not heard directly from Dale , but from a source close to him..Sir Bryan Williams is hugely impressed how he has been able to turn a Southland Stags that looked more like a Heartland team a few seasons back into a competitive team but more importantly has promoted a few unknowns into Super Rugby players ,Manaaki Selby Rickett , Joe Walsh,Ray Nu’u and Josh Moorby ,Chris Apoua ,Mike McKee along with Ethan De Groot who has also cracked the All Blacks , not a bad strike rate in a short period of time with limited resources..definitely one that got away from Northland Rugby ..
He also converted new Hurricanes prop Pasilio Tosi who was a number 8 into the propping position -
