This is live on DUKE in about 30 minutes. They showed the qualifying yesterday as well. Not sure if this is a one off, but it'd be cool if they showed every race.
Being a McLaren fan, I'm hoping young Norris gets some points and Ferrari don't win. I also hope Riccardo gets in the points.
@gt12 We might be the only NZ franchise where he'd have no competition for minutes. He could wait to see if Weber goes overseas after this year and re-sign for the Chiefs, but he might be too pissed off at Cooper by then to do that.
Aumua has already extended with the Canes until 2021. I'm pretty sure he extended before Coles extended, so I'm wondering if he regrets it now.
TTT is one I'd like us to target. It's best to strike now while he's still only getting 10 minutes off the bench for the Chiefs. Leon has said that he wants to play an uptempo style of rugby and TTT fits that a whole lot better than our current crop of halfbacks.
It'd be nice if Leon could get David Havili to be our fullback. I think he's off contract this year.
@Duluth Seems like James Tucker is either injured or someone called him up(Canes?).
Parsons said that Scrafton will play 40 this week, 60 next week and 80 the week after that, then hopefully be available for the Sunwolves game.

@Bones I think he's a good ball carrier for a lock, but not for a backrower.
Think he certainly holds his own, as do the AB selectors. Happy for him to move into lock when Squire is back - Dickson to the bench.
I don't think he has the kind of ball carrying ability to offset the lack of ball carrying ability of his backrow partners. Wouldn't be surprised if Frizell starts at 6 in the next game.
@Bones I think he's a good ball carrier for a lock, but not for a backrower.
I think the Highlanders need to move Hemopo back to lock because with him at 6, there is little to no ball carrying in the backrow(and in the starting pack in general).

Perofeta is injured and likely out several weeks it seems. The dude is the Blake Gibson of the backs - glass man.
Several weeks? They'll need cover and there's not many options around
Isa Nacewa... He did say last year that he'd be involved with the Blues a bit.
More realistically, we might go with Daniel Kirkpatrick.
@Duluth Seems Leon is a bit undecided on who will be at 10, but I'd probably give Black the slight edge to start next week.
Interesting that Otere is coming off the bench again. I have no clue who'll be our starting 10 next week.
