I didn't realise that there were time restrictions.
I suppose they have done that in previous years but isn't it x amount over y weeks or something?As @Duluth says, there is the 40-60-80 min return-to-play protocol, which is a NZRPA thing. The only ABs involved in the game of 3 halves were Cane, Ta’avao, Lord and Tupaea.
Does that count as their 40 then?
If so, that tips the hand being played.

So who is going to run out for the Chiefs on Saturday?
Blues fans would have had a full discussion of 23s by now, along with some hot tips from one or two posters.
Get on it.
Cricket season. We don't care yet. Super Rugby starts in April/May

@hooroo Unlikely, you don't start watching until the Rugby Championship starts.
My care factor is close to zero in summer.
I have a vague interest in who is in the squad but if I end up watching the game this weekend I will surprise myself. Is it Saturday night?

Ive been wondering the same thing, after a bit of a break out season last year i would have thought a bit more press
Timu is the only one im a little worried about, when ive seen him for otago it has mainly been midfield so now worried we're a bit light on left wingers
Other than that pretty much full strength, glad Paea seems to have shaken off the arm injury
-
@kiwiwomble Both Fijians are normally left wingers. Dawai played in the no.11 jersey for Waikato last season.
-
@bovidae ....ok, maybe we're light on wingers in general then if we're having to swing left wingers to the right and play a midfielder (i know they list him as an outside) on the left. I do wish we'd picked up Freedom, at best he's a clinical finisher and at worst he has some things to work on positionally but was looking solid
