Sumo dropping hints about Akira leaving the Blues there?
@Steven-Harris mentioned that both brothers are off to the Canes in the Super Rugby News (I think) thread.

So Akira not selected to play for the ABs, but goes into camp and comes back playing brilliant. AB coaches with a plan of how to use him at the RWC and don't want teams being given a year to study it?
It’s the only thing keeping me sane. Avoiding the second year blues?
Also, Tana has flogged him this year. May not want to overplay him?

All these people thinking Rieko will cover centre are in for a surprise when A Ioane runs on in 13.

I don't think it's an issue he's getting "flogged" - I think he's the type of player who goes better the more minutes he plays.
Hansen's got to give him a test by the end of the year though, nuts if he doesn't.

By the time he gives Taufua a run, he’s probably already well exceeded his handing out new caps quota for the year.

Scratchy game but nice to see a win.
Gibson strong first game back, Akira an absolute monster. Nanai looked useful.
Duffie and Collins were poor.
Blues maul defence poor as usual - worst scrum performance of the year.
Clarke is a bit raw but you can see the potential. Just needs more time in the saddle.
Moulds handy around the field but poor at set piece.
Would like to see more of Pierce. Less of Taramai.

Nothing like playing an Aussie team to help celebrate an occasion.
Well done Kaino
