@Grooter Possible replacement for Riccitelli next year? Hope his throwing is better than Pole's and Mullan's.

NZ u20 hooker Vernon Bason is training with the team this week -

@Daffy-Jaffy

If he gets a run it'll be the 4th hooker on debut this year

[SouthernMann]

Would be a smart signing for the future

[Bovidae]

The younger sister is an injury replacement for the Blues women's team.

@Tim i just think with youngers hookers it takes a bit of time , we have seen this with Amua what i do know if you are smaller hooker you really do have to be some special , both Amua and Bason come into the wrecking ball when carrying list
I know one of the things that kept Kurt Eklund out of rep rugby for so long was his inability at lineout throwing time debuted for Auckland at 25 or 26 if i recall
Was outstanding in all the other areas for Varsity in younger years

Random. Rumour, confirmed, what?

@Steven-Harris it isnt like throwing to a lineout hasnt been an issue in NZ rugby since, well, forever!

Sure we have had those that can, but I think for decades now we havent been that great.

Blues X account confused the crap out of me with an Akira post, had forgotten the date. Was like it was AI targetted for my feed.

Was happy for abour 20 seconds, then back to default setting of grumpy old man.

The Blues have, however, lost seasoned prop Ofa Tu’ungafasi, who will undergo neck surgery with the full rehab process to rule him out for the rest of the season.
