    @Crucial maybe Akira needs to move franchise and get away from his comfort zone so to speak.

    Just 90 minutes down the highway and we can move Sam Cane back to 7.

    Good idea.

    @gt12 Wouldn't complain, what's his contract length/status?

    Edit: Some article says its until 2021? That meaning until the end of 2021 or the end of 2020, only asking coz it says until 2021 so could mean anything.

    @gt12 any NZ team would be a better option right now.

    Perhaps wait and see how he goes this year before saying this.

    @Yeetyaah Akira's contract expires at the end of the 2021 season.

    I think every Blues fan complained about the over playing of Akira (every game.. every minute..) and the under playing of Sotutu and even Papali'i

    From MacDonalds comments it sounds like he realises that was an huge error last year.

    You're a bit behind here @Canes4life

    7 players other than the RWC squad are under the rest protocols. We have been trying to working out who they are.

    Yep, excellent point.

    If they use them right and don’t have any big injuries, I think this loose forward roster could be really huge this year.

    They have good players in every position even with a bit of rotation, especially if they bring Robinson back into that mix.

    They’re young too; that’s it, it’s your decade!

    adidas has today unveiled the alternate jerseys for all five New Zealand Investec Super Rugby sides for the highly anticipated 2020 season.
    From material to design, the jerseys have been crafted to reflect and honour the natural environments of each team.
    
    All 5 jerseys are part of the new adidas PRIMEBLUE range – made with Parley Ocean Plastic, which is recycled plastic waste intercepted from beaches and coastal communities before it reaches the oceans.From material to design, the jerseys have been crafted to reflect and honour the natural environments of each team. All 5 jerseys are part of the new adidas PRIMEBLUE range – made with Parley Ocean Plastic, which is recycled plastic waste intercepted from beaches and coastal communities before it reaches the oceans.
    
    As part of its ongoing mission to end plastic waste, adidas has committed to shift entirely to recycled polyester by 2024.
    
    To inspire rugby fans to join the movement, the designs of each teams alternate jersey features aquatic-style patterns and nods to the teams’ local environments: 
    
    • The Blues jersey takes inspiration from the Auckland Harbour bridge – an important icon of the city and beacon for sustainability due to its solar-powered lights. The jersey design features a water-effect graphic print of the bridge.

    @Kirwan the thing that pisses me off the most, this neighbour gets his or her name kept from the public.
    Can’t see why this could have been sorted out between the 2 parties..,pardon the pun ..!

    WTF

    A statement from The Blues said the Super Rugby side was aware of an anonymous complaint being lodged via the Independent Complaints Authority, which acts on behalf of New Zealand Rugby.

    Normally noise complaints go through the Councils contractor, and I wouldn't have expected it to be 'an employment issue'
