Great to have Brodie back. Still feel for the big fellah.
Let him rest during Super Rugby and play some Mitre 10 Cup to get ready for the AB season

An Aussie report of the Chiefs-Brumbies match.

The Blues' recent winning run has come to an abrupt halt at the hands of the Hurricanes in a pre-season game in Warkworth today, but far more concerning for coach Tana Umaga are the injuries to starting loose forwards Jerome Kaino, Jimmy Tupou and Dalton Papali'i.
The trio left the Mahurangi Rugby Club field in the first half and their conditions were not readily available to Umaga afterwards. But he was worried enough to pull fellow loose forwards Murphy Taramai and Akira Ioane from the line of fire in case they too were injured.
Veteran All Black Kaino and the tall, athletic Tupou would have been almost certain starters for the Blues' first match of the new Super Rugby season against the Highlanders in Dunedin next Friday but Kaino, his left knee already heavily strapped, must be a considerable doubt in particular.
Tupou also appeared to injure a leg but it was not immediately known what Papali'i's issue was.

What do they eat in Welly in summer?
Jules, Aumua, Piri. Even Jonah packed it on I think? Did Merhts spend holidays there?

@snowy the KFC Diet?
Funnily when thinking of that, I immediately thought of Trevor Leota, and as you google Trevor Leot...you get to this point and the 2nd option is Trevor Leota KFC
Anywhoo, what it did lead me to was a pretty good article about him.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I'm not a pro rugby player so my body shape is unlikely to make the papers.
I did a quick search and found this review so I think I'll love it.:
"They make a very small number of vegetarian items, simply so they can advertise that they have vegetarian food. But the fact is the number of items produced are so small that there are seldom any available.
Fantastic.
