    ATTN Northlanders - from a Blues email -
    We are rocking and rolling in the lead up to Christmas here at Blues HQ. Our Blues men have another full on week of pre-season training, culminating with a camp in Northland on Thursday and Friday. We’ll be training at Northland’s Rugby Union's training base (136 Riverside Drive, Parahaki) from 11:45am – 1:15pm on Thursday with public welcome to attend. In the afternoon half the squad are visiting Onerahi Rugby Club to help with some painting around the place while the other half will be delivering and packing the ‘Fill The Blues Bus’ food donations at Whakaora Kai food rescue charity.2a3078c6-01bb-44b9-9a28-c0c4c0c4968d-image.png

          "Without hesitation, Spencer says he’s a fullback in 15s after switching from the All Blacks Sevens programme"

          Nothing new there. However I think he'll have a better chance of making the 23 if he can cover wing too

          Assuming one of the 10's at 15, Sullivan possibly in the midfield. Spencer might be competing with Forbes for chances

            He looks a bit more filled out than 12 months ago. Not sure he will get much game time this year but excited to see him when he does get a chance

                        I think that could be Randall Baker, who could be one of the NDC players. A no.8.

                                  That article didn't mention Suafoa. I think it's probably a battle between him and Segner for the vacant spot

                                  I like the idea of Clark as a sub using his speed in the last 20. That probably requires Segner in the starting trio though

                                    Shek out until April and Ben Ake out for 8-10 weeks. Both
                                    rehabbing after shoulder surgeries.
                                    That likely explains picking 7 props in the squad plus 3 extras at training.
