    @Duluth 7s will take precedence. They play their next tournament at the end of this month and he's been building into the 7s for the last few months culminating in his first tournament last weekend in Sydney.

    They are just as likely to move Duffie to the wing and Perofeta to fullback.

    It would be interesting to know when Rieko fractured his hand as he seemed in good spirits in the post-match interview.

    @mariner4life Ah, so that's why Akira was shown stuffing his face full of food. Fuelling up for the big night ahead.

    That was my first thought too. Best way too break a hand is punch someone, second best is fall over drunk. I have no personal experience of this, but have seen it, so restricted my punching people.

    I suspect he isn't available but the status of him and Gregory at the Highlanders is strange. Both players made the full SR squad. Whereas a guy like Rayasi did not make the Hurricanes squad.

    @Hooroo looking at the picture, the Waikato guy kicked him

    @Kirwan

    He's full time with the 7's

    I think Clarke and Gregory are the only ones in a SR squad and the 7's. Not sure what that means when injuries hit the Blues/Highlanders.

    It's a waste of a squad spot if they can't be selected

    Ok, that makes sense. Might have to start watching the sevens again, sounds like they have some good players again.

    Halfback Finlay Christie is also close to a return to play from a neck injury; while forwards Gerard Cowley-Tuioti and Waimana Riedlinger-Kapa are will return next month, as will lock James Tucker from a knee injury.

    Don't bother, with the "one loss and you're out" pool format and no quarter finals. It doesn't give a fair representation of the team's ability (but yes we have some good players in there again).

    @KiwiMurph good to hear that Tuckers injury isn't too serious. Really rate him.

    With Rieko out, I think Mark Telea will shift to the left wing and Narawa will be on the right wing. That's how it was when Rieko went off last week.

    If Tanielu Telea was healthy, I'd have him and Mark on the wings and Narawa at fullback.

    "tomorrow they will work closely with the 1st team " maybe they'll learn a bit for the game vs Tahs?

    @Bovidae Mafileo looked like he took a knock on the weekend.
