              That training shirt is nice.

              I'm hoping that the chiefs bring out some stuff in white, as I cook here in the all-black stuff, and the maroon stuff looks like shit.

                        Interesting technique to get attention from the AB coaches.

                            Can you I.D. any more extra players in this video? I see Tystan Cook, Rico Simpson, Nathan Salmon and maybe Riley Williams there.

                              Two young extra (likely academy) players at Blues training are North Harbour Lock Jack Lee and last years Australia u18 rep Half Back Luke Aiken. Both from Blues u20's this year.

                                Whats the story with Luke Aiken? Is he NZ qualified? NZ family?

                                Looks like he was in the Aus system in 2023 but moved to NZ in 2024. Grammar TEC, Auckland and Blues u20 since then

                                  I think NZ schools and Blues u20 Prop Robson Faleafa is also training with the squad -

                                      @Daffy-Jaffy That's definitely Sika Pole.

                                      The pictures below, he kind of looks like Tamiano Ahloo? Which wouldn't be surprising to see him show up at Blues training. But that would also be one of the oldest looking 18-year olds that I've seen, so I could be way off here.

                                        Same as Akira then. You either reckon they got the nudge from the selectors or you don't.

                                        Not really the same: Akira is 29 and has been in the frame for years, whereas Plummer is 26 and this is the first time he has been even close on Super performance. One is quitting after giving it a decent crack, one is quitting at the first sign of potentially being up to it.

                                        Not really the same: Akira is 29 and has been in the frame for years, whereas Plummer is 26 and this is the first time he has been even close on Super performance. One is quitting after giving it a decent crack, one is quitting at the first sign of potentially being up to it.

                                        What potential opportunity was that? The two minutes where he didn't get to touch the ball for the entire tour?

                                          Same as Akira then. You either reckon they got the nudge from the selectors or you don't.
