            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.

                              @george33 haven’t heard anything but given the coaches link to French rugby wouldn’t surprise me

                                    @Daffy-Jaffy Terrell Peita and Liam Hallam Eames have been called into the Blues training squad ,there’s a few players carrying injuries
                                    I would imagine only onboard for preseason games

                                      Beehre looks like he's put on some bulk too.

                                      The battle for the third lock position after the AB pair will be tough. McWhannell was mostly good last year but his defence let him down at times.

                                        @Duluth an attrional position (especially under Vern) and Darry and Patty Tuips do have a history of picking up injuries - there should be plenty of game time to go around.
