    Last year of his Blues contract isn't it? I'm sure the Crusaders will be chasing hard

        Darry could find himself on the outside looking in for the ABs

        He wasn't chosen in the initial squad and whilst he played well at times for the ABs he also got surpassed for a bench spot with Patty T's return. Fabians Holland will be poised to break into the ABs this year too.

        On the other hand Razor doesn't select on Super form so not playing Super might help him.....

                                Yeah I'm GoM and half British - can't stand that crap. But it's great bling for the younger generation of wannabe Yankees, for sure.

                                  Whether you buy this or not, seems an interesting take on why younger people may not be watching rugby.

                                    Hearing North Harbour lock Cam Christie could possibly be out of Super Rugby 2025 , took 3 head knocks in 2024 and still suffering symptoms
                                    Hopefully he makes a full recovery very scary

                                        Sotutu and Finlay Christie are they injured?

                                        @Chris In an interview at the Launch in Sydney BB said Sotutu had a small knee issue but should be playing soon. I have heard nothing re: Christie but he did not play either of the preseason games.
                                        I like the idea of Clark at 8 but thought Suafua might get the spot first. Maybe Suafoa is covering Lock from the bench due to the locking injuries.

                                          @Chris In an interview at the Launch in Sydney BB said Sotutu had a small knee issue but should be playing soon. I have heard nothing re: Christie but he did not play either of the preseason games.
                                          I like the idea of Clark at 8 but thought Suafua might get the spot first. Maybe Suafoa is covering Lock from the bench due to the locking injuries.

                                          Thanks Mate for the up date.
