                Robbie Abel has been named in the Maori All Black squad.

                I wonder if that's a hint that he's hanging around NZ for Super Rugby?

                  http://theblues.co.nz/new-coach-adds-important-skills/

                  Experienced Super Rugby trainer Phil Healey has been named to join the Blues with coaches Tana Umaga, Tom Coventry and Leon Macdonald.
                  
                  Healey, former Chiefs strength and conditioning coach and currently at Glasgow Warriors in Scotland, will join the Blues for the next two years to lead the club’s strength and conditioning programme.
                  
                  Healey was head strength and conditioning coach at the Chiefs for nine years and a key part of their two Super Rugby titles along with reaching the playoffs five times. He has spent two years with Dave Rennie at the Glasgow Warriors in UK and will return to New Zealand with his family before the start of the 2019 pre-season.

                    @kiwimurph The Blues probably shoud have tried for Rennie as they appear to be assembling the rest of his team. 🙂

                        @duluth What the fuck are the Blues waiting for? Sign him. FFS the place is a shambles.

                        On another note interesting to hear his comment about no dickheads being in the Auckland team. Wonder if Hansen is reading this article.....

                          Don’t they have to get NZRU approval? Have to make a case to include an overseas player.
                          They’ve told him they’re interested and he has said he is too. Sounds like paperwork being done before an offer.

                            Wouldn't you think you'd communicate that to him instead of the player not hearing anything and being concerned?

                              @crucial they should, but not sure how strict they are these days.

                              If they are looking at a 27 year old Canadian I hope they are also looking at someone like Tom Robinson too.

                                      Chiefs, jump in. He looks proper ready for a 6 jumper in Super rugby, and since the fucking highlanders have them all stored up, let's help the Canucks.

                                          Really enjoyed the article on Olmstead,was really interesting reading about some of the teams he has been part of compared to what he’s experiencing with Auckland .
                                          Sounds like Auckland have finally got their culture in the right place.
                                          To me Olmstead has been one of the unsung hero’s for Auckland in the Mitre 10 Cup,wether in a number 6 jersey or in the middle row,they guy never plays a bad game and has a great work ethic ..
                                          From a Northland piece,would love to Tom Robinson get a contract with the Blues,on saying that, you would have no arguments from me if Olmstead got the nod..hope they take both of them,but I suspect with Jimmy Tupou having already signed..probably not enough room for both,either way I do think both will pick up contracts ,maybe one of them not with the Blues.
