...Interested to know from the Kiwis who the players they are most keen to see play next year ...


For me apart from the return of AAaron Cruden to the Chiefs.... signing up Waisake Naholo's brother Kini could will be another great addition to the Chiefs...


The Blues will be fascinating to watch with newly signed Bogan Barret to see how he fits in....not sure if Beaudy 's the 10 or the 15 at this stage..

Other great additions and Cloudy should be heartened by the addition of England centre - wing Joe Marchant....


I also think Emoni Narawa could be great for the Blues on the wing now that Reko Iaone has been named in the centres...here's a clip of the youngster tearing it up...

I know we say this at the start of every Super Rugby season but could this finally be the year of the Blues? The signing of Beaudan Barrett does plug a massive hole for them.
PS I see they have lost Melani Nanai though. That will be a loss.

....they hav been missing a good 10 since Adam was a boy...but maybe  Beaudy could be THE ONE...

yup Melani Nanai to Worcester Warriors - a very big problem so maybe Beaudy will go there...??

Last year they rotated Pummer, Black and Perafeta at 10 with limited success..

They have also added North Harbour rookie Jack Heighton to that list this year and Barret makes a total of five first fives...

An overkill at 10 suggests BBarret will take up the fullback role.am guessing

I hope 2020 I'd the final year of SR. 

Our teams should go up north. 

More money for the boys, more pleasant game times and much easier for our selectors to achieve a coherent team.

SR is dead. It's boring, attendance is low and there's too much bias from officiating standpoint.

Same old song about SRExit because of the naughty refs but we've still never had a satisfactory reply from the SRExiteers to the fundamental issue that rugby is a winter sport.

 ....also see the Sharks have signed Blitzbok star Werner Kok which must go some way to replacing the du Preez bros... something for Sharkies fans to get excited about...

I thought Bogan Barret (Jordy) was going to remain at the Hurricanes.

Given the exodus of so many quality SA players I just can’t see us competing unless there is some serious talent coming through Time will tell
