    @tim Jono Hickey coaching at the Under 19s. Does he combine that with playing or has he chucked that side of the game in? Last I heard about him, from reliable sources, a couple of years ago was that he had unofficially signed for NPC with Wellington and the following season with the Hurricanes but he never fronted at either.

    @higgins Think he had to retire with concussion issues?

    @tim That might explain why he never fronted in Wellington.

    That's a shame, he had potential. Smart player.

    Some interesting news here with Tele’a returning to Auckland. I wonder if that means Alama Ieremia is gone?

    We are happy to announce a new signing and a re-signing for two Auckland Rugby Academy graduates.

    Jock McKenzie is a new signing to Auckland Rugby, coming out of @grammartec Jock played an integral part in his team's run to the 2021 Gallaher Shield Final. The Fullback/First-Five made his debut for @bluesrugbyteam last night and packs one hell of a boot in his back pocket.

    Tanielu Tele’a is no stranger to the Auckland NPC campaign and the Auckland backline. The @maristrugby421 member showed off some of his kicking game last night to set up The Blues’ first try against Moana Pasifika but don’t let that fool you. You do not want to be in the line when this guy is on the end of a short ball. Auckland Cap #1498

    We wish the best for both Jock and Tanielu’s Super Rugby Season and we will hopefully see them in the Blue and White Hoops later in the year.

    @tim Tele'a and a few others followed their popular ex St Kents coach Tai Lavea who moved from Auckland Asst. coach to CM head coach. Then Lavea up and left for Japan at the end of that season. This likely influenced Tele'a to change his mind and return to Auckland. It may also mean Ieremia has gone though. We need some inside oil.

    It's a good career move to try and build a combination with Evans

    He's had a frustrating career so far. Hopefully he can string some game together. I still think he has potential to be a high quality player

    @nogusta

    Looks pretty good..

    9 Funaki
    10 Plummer/McKenzie
    11 Rayasi
    12 RTS/Evans
    13 Heem/Tele'a
    14 Lam
    15 Sullivan

    I think RTS will make the AB squad if fit

    3 Ta'avao
    4 Scrafton
    5 ?
    6 ?
    7 Choat
    8 Ekuasi

    (Backing Hodgman to return to the AB squad.)

    I wonder how Ekuasi would go as a hooker?

    Jamie Lane & Kitiona Vai?

    I didn't realise Vai was Nanai's brother:

    From good rugby pedigree, Vai’s father player for Samoa and older brother Melani Nanai played for the Blues and Auckland.
