@Tim yea, opening the season with two irrelevant teams, in a non-rugby market was a poor move
@mariner4life On a Thursday night ...
Shouldn't the opening game be something like Hurricanes vs. Waratahs?
-
The first game is generally an all-kiwi affair, which instantly lifted everything.
I don't understand the Thursday night start, especially with a home Rebels game, against a side who hasn't played finals in a decade.

Theres a game on today???

There are always these articles at the start of the season about 'players to watch'. Most of them are hastily written space fillers written with one hand on google.
I rate Sumo though as someone who really does ask around, is respected by the coaches and manages to get a bit of insight about players. Here is his version of 'who to watch'

Their only good ten. The thought of Marty McKenzie at ten ...
Edit: Bateman could have covered if he hadn't been out for a month himself. So they only have McKenzie and Hunt.

Dagg to 10?
Just thought I'd beat @ACT-Crusader to it

It's only taken you five years to catch on, but better late than never...
Real shame about Richie. He looked a lot more assured on the weekend than anything I saw last season.

That's torn things early for Razor. Probably the person we could least afford to get injured - maybe along with Owen Franks.
Step up Mitchell Hunt, because I can't see us winning many with Marty McKenzie at the helm.

It was certainly a weak point in the squad recruitment.

Crusaders Knights 34 - 34 Highlanders Bravehearts
Blues U20 33 - 26 Chiefs U20
Blues Dev ? - ? Chiefs Dev

We don't have a TRC thread yet and it's a little early for one so I'll post this here as it Super Rugby and Test Rugby in the republic still have a relevance together.

@Crucial To be fair, I can't think of anyone better they could have signed as a first five. At least they cut Volavola.

I thought the Crusaders really missed Fonatia's lack of pace in the weekend...

@Stargazer Do you have the Highlanders development lineup for that game?
