I agree with @taniwharugby re Hansen being involved but questions for me are:
- Who approached who?
- How much was the offer?
Leaguies painting it as a "win" but I suspect it had as much to do with higher guaranteed dollars for a longer term.
I'd have been happy if he returned from the dark side but wouldn't have been offering Ben Smith money.

The Blues flanker Antonio Kiri Kiri has been suspended for one Super Rugby game following two incidents in last weekend's match against the Highlanders in Dunedin.@kiwimurph said in Super Rugby News:
The Blues flanker Antonio Kiri Kiri has been suspended for one Super Rugby game following two incidents in last weekend's match against the Highlanders in Dunedin.I find this interesting; didn't know that rule:
Kiri Kiri was yellow carded in the 53rd minute for a dangerous tackle of Highlanders first five Lima Sopoaga. Following the match he was cited for a separate incident involving a potential charge of Striking with the Head. Kiri Kiri was issued with a warning from the Judicial Committee in regards to that incident. The rules state that a yellow card and a warning from the same match equates to a sending off and therefore he gets an automatic one match suspension. -

@booboo not even sure if he would have cut the mustard,in my opinion he’s very suspect defensively and under the high ball..

really? that's a pretty big call. My early thought was he would have been the right wing pretty quickly.

Be interesting to see if the Sunwolves can get up this weekend. Rebels were dire last week and in pre-season.

it was a shit game, but they hammered the rubbish Reds. The Sunwolves aren't better than the Reds.

@mariner4life They looked shit even for the first 15 or so minutes after the Reds were red-carded. They didn't look comfortable until the Reds were carded again.
Their win over the 14-man Reds meant nothing.

No one pointing out how bad the Brumbies looked?

@tim Yeah thought the same about the Rebels. Having said that I think they will improve, they have a decent enough side to do something in the Aussie conference.
@african-monkey and a well regarded coach.

On this week's Out of the Box podcast, Nigel Yelden said that there are rumours that Kane Hame's "illness" is actually concussion symptoms.
