Apologies if it’s been mentioned but any news on the 2026 TV deal for SR in the UK? Believe last deal Sky signed was through 2025.

Is there a chance that Razor and his team goes before the RWC if we have a poor year?
Could be a step too far/or too big a risk IMHO, and not all of the problems are down to the Head Coach - though I can see Robertson being kept on a shorter leash as it were.
Hopefully the review has identified the key problems and the next step should be to find and fix the root causes. There'll be risks in fixing those - team disruption, PR, Contract/Financial issues - and managing those risks will be key. Any changes will need to address the current issues while forming a plan to fix the wider, deeper issues in NZ rugby. (Sorry if I've slipped into ex-Business Improvement Consultant mode...). I'd imagine Kirk and co. will be very aware of this.
Personally, I'd prefer Robertson to stay but be managed more tightly with someone like Joseph or Schmidt on board to step in if it becomes really clear the axe needs to fall.

If you are a youngster, is there any point in signing for the Blues? It's extremely hard to get a look in if you play for them.
Unless you are BB or Christie.
I really thought Lam was worth having a look at. -
And also, without turning this into a Hoskins Sotutu argument, to those who may hear things, did his non-selection cause any friction in the camp? I'm sure he'd have a fair few close mates in the side?
Again, not trying to start up an argument that's been done to death, but I'm wondering if some of the players were annoyed by it?

Have heard Dalton Papalii is looking offshore, possibly already signed offshore. Anyone got anything on that?
Well with him falling out with Razor, it is of no surprise.
Once again the Blues becoming a breeding ground for overseas clubs. Yay.

That's unsurprising and very fucking annoying.
